Default Upcoming MI Region NCCC Autocrosses

September 3
Six low speed events at the Jackson Speedway go-kart track. Fun mini-road course where most cars will be in second gear unless your last name is Meesseman. The track is smooth concrete, there are tire barriers but no really hard obstacles (if I remember correctly). There will be a go-cart run off after the autocrosses are complete. Very fun event.

September 23-24
14 low speed events at the Great Lakes Tech Center in Flint. Good size parking lot, surface is older sealed asphalt. I don't have a flyer available online yet, but a link should be ready soon. Cost is $100 for the weekend if you preregister.

Hope to see some Forum members there!

Thanks for the info. I was just looking at how few DCSCC events were left. Not too many. These will help fill in my schedule.

Two good locations! Should be alot of fun. The after event activities are alot of fun you just have to watch out for angry co-drivers running you off the course when you go for the pass! Can't wait!

The Go kart runoff has adopted speed WC rules this year. Prior winners Get 150 lbs of reward weight to even the playing field!

The 2-year reighning cart champ may step aside to allow someone else at least a chance to win.

Do I know you?

There are two CCM champ events left (Sept 10 and Oct 22), and two (well three really, this weekend) Detroit Region SCCA events (Sept 17 and Oct 8). Those will certainly be the better of the DCSCC events although the SCCA events are not champ series events. These should help fill your schedule too.

I guess we'll have to bring the red car this year so we can at least try to keep up with all you hot shoes.

You might know me. Other than saying "Hi" at a Council event, I'm not sure that we have ever talked. I attend most of the CCM and AROC autocrosses. I have yet to do a NCCC or SCCA competition although I was at the SCCA test and tune in Oscoda a month and a half ago.

I run a silver Z06 with roll bar in AMT, car number 171. I tend not to be too competative at the CCM event in Hamtramic. I think it is the low grip surface (at least it seems low grip to me).

I mostly lurk around here.

I really should branch out and do some SCCA events. I'll have to run in ASP or SM2 and since there won't be a street tire class, I won't be competative with KD's. I can still have fun though!!!

Default Track



This is the cart track for Sept 3. Last year, a run started on the (left in the picture) road interconnecting the oval and road course, you would make two laps on the road course, and on the second lap transition onto the oval on the right side connecting road, and follow the banking around to the left and into the finish gate on the back straight. It was a blast.
