NJ BMW-CCA

Tires Are Like Shoes. Dress Appropriately.

New Jersey BMW-CCA Chapter Home Page


Each driver will get as many as 6-8 runs over a course that varies from one event to the next. Your best time counts toward the competition. Each cone that is knocked down, or displaced from the box in which it stands adds a 2 second penalty.

You will be assigned to a group, and will line up to run with that group. After each run you will rejoin the line, until you have completed 3-4 runs. When you are not running, you will be required to work the course, at the timing table, or as a flagger. Flaggers are stationed at several places around the course. Their job is to reset cones that are knocked down, and maintain radio contact with the timing table.

If you are new to autocrossing, you will find plenty of people to give advice, or even ride along with you. One of the most important things you will need to do is familiarize yourself with the course. It is easy to forget under the excitement of driving as quickly as you dare! There will be ample opportunity to walk the course before each event. A guided tour is usually given. Maps of each event are usually published, and are available online.

Your car will be briefly checked for brake pedal travel, steering wheel play, secure wheel mountings, fluid leakage and looseness of components, like batteries. Helmets are required, and you will need a Snell 2000 or newer. The club will have some loaners available.

Our events are usually at the PNC Bank Arts Center or the Commerce Bank Ballpark. Check the schedule for specific locations, and the links for directions. Plan to arrive by 8:30 to 9:00. REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 9:30. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT TIME. Bring lunch and non-alcoholic beverages. Registration forms can be filled out online and printed out; you can bring it with you to the event, or fax it to:

908-789-3157

Payment will be collected at the event. Autocross fee is $35 for NJBMWCCA Members, and $45 for non-members, per driver. A car may be shared, but each driver must register. Also, please download and read the insurance liability release form. All participants and spectators will be required to sign this form at the event, and it is recommended that you read it before the event.
