Bowie Baysox (Prince Georges Stadium)
4101 Crain Highway
Bowie, MD 20716

Registration opens on Saturday, March 15th, 2014. 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, April 25th, 2014.

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

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

If just doing one of the sessions (AM or PM)... How many runs do you get to do?

In my experience 4

Correct. Usually 4.

[TeamErc]

Do most people do both sessions? I noticed only three people signed up for PM. Are some of the people listed in AM session doing both AM and PM sessions and just show up in AM on the roster?

About half of the attendees run both AM & PM. The PM session always is the last to fill up. People prefer to come out, get their runs, then have the rest of the day. People who sign up for all day should show up as AM and PM NC on the attendance list.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble registering. I can't select my number for the AM session, there's no drop box. Just says "N/A." For the PM session, 203 is reserved in my profile. I have no option to select another number. But when I submit the form, it gives me the error: "The number 03 is not available because it is already used or reserved for part or all of this event. We cannot always tell in advance if your selection is valid until we have a class and/or group. Please make another selection from the filtered list."

I'd like to choose 03 again this season if possible. However, I don't even have a choice to choose otherwise in the registration form.

I'm having the same issue

I'm having the same issue

I've contacted MSReg to try and get the issue resolved. Not sure what's going on.

Looks like they fixed it. All signed up!

Thanks

We are 100% sold out for this event. No walk ups! Thanks to everyone who registered.

Bummer, if there is a wait/cancel list, put me on it!?

Will do.

[TMac325is]

So this will be my first autox, and I signed up for the PM session tomorrow - as the AM was all sold out. I've read through all the documentation here on the website, and was wondering what to expect as a beginner.

Should I mention that I am a beginner to the registrar upon arrival? Are instructor ride-alongs permitted on autox days (if anyone is available in the PM)?

I'll be swapping to my old stock rims for the event - and I'm getting pretty excited to see what the old 325 can do
