Central PA PCA Autocross Series
ALAN POZNER, Autocross Chairman
For a Sunday of at-the-wheel entertainment for the entire driving family, come on down to Hershey for an autocross with Central PA PCA. Our course designs will vary at each event. They will be easy-to-follow and novice-friendly but still present a challenge to experienced cone mashers. The autocross team is always looking for additional volunteers in timing, registration, tech and course setup. Please contact the autocross chair for details.
Autocrosses are fun and safe events. We try to give everyone six chances at the course. We have loaner helmets and instructors so all you need is a car and a willingness to have fun and learn.
We encourage both novice and experienced autocrossers to ride along with our instructors or have them ride with you. You'll be amazed what you can learn. All you have to do is ask. We do discourage novices from riding with each other as this can lead to unsafe behavior.

Our autocrosses are designed to be friendly competition, not an all-out assault. Competitors should be sportsmanlike in self-classing. While it is possible to prepare a car to the limits of these rules that will soundly trounce more casually prepared cars that is non-sportsmanlike behavior and those competitors who insist on stretching the spirit to win will be asked to reevaluate their self-classing. Likewise competitors who have modified their cars extensively but without regard to autocross competitiveness should not be surprised to be bumped into a class with faster cars.
