Bowie, MD 20716

Registration opens 8:00 AM on Monday, July 29th, 2013. You can register online, ahead of time, and get a $5 discount. Online registration is highly encouraged and save you from waiting in line! Or, if it’s a last minute decision, you can still walk-up. Walk-up registrations will be for PM session only! Registration closes 12:00 PM on Friday, August 9th, 2013.

BMWCCA is now requiring all NCC Autocross participants (for both events and schools) to be registered BMWCCA members.

We realize that not all of our past event attendees are members. To help offset the cost of membership new BMWCCA memberships are entitled to one free NCC Autocross points event!

BMWCCA membership is $48 which is a great deal. BMWCCA members enjoy a multitude of benefits such as discounts on hotel rates and towing services. Plus if you’re a BMW or MINI owner you get the extra benefit of dealer discounts at most MINI/BMW dealers and several local shops in the area.

The NCC Autocross program uses a BMW-centric customized classing structure which pits your BMW or MINI against similar performance models in 3 levels of trim: Showroom, Tuner, and Modified. There is also a simple classing structure for non-BMW competitors. You can check out the full details at nccautocross.com.

Our program is beginner friendly, offering in-car instruction, guided course walks, and a dedicated group of organizers who are happy to answer any questions you might have or show you the ropes. Also, there are free loaner helmets available for use, so if you don't have your own helmet there is no need to go out and buy or rent one just to get a few fun runs in!

So whether you're a longtime BMWCCA veteran or never been to an autocross before, come check it all out online at our website: www.nccautocross.com

Please contact us at info@nccautocross.com with any questions you might have. We'll be happy to answer your questions. And check out our message board message board at nccautocross.com to discuss the event with other attendees!

I just posted my photos from the event here. Be sure to scroll all the way though to find your pictures. I didn't sort them by car so they are somewhat scattered.

Thanks for letting me spectate!

I've been meaning to ask this regarding the results pages: What do the capital "T"'s mean next to the placing in each class?

In many classes, they're the top 3, but in some classes, they don't align with the top 3.

[etherpool]

The T is supposed to mean trophy but it's not right. Our timing software for some reason doesn't calculate the actual trophy winners correctly.

Here's video of my runs:

Here are my runs in the M5. I brought my cousin for a ride-along and you can tell from the first cockpit video how much fun he had.
Cheers!
