Clear answers before the start.

Autocross is a timed driving event on a temporary cone-marked Course built on a large paved parking lot or asphalt area. You drive your own car, one vehicle at a time, and try to complete each run quickly and cleanly. PMC Event Staff assigned to Corner Stations observe the Course and record displaced cones; each penalized cone adds two seconds to the elapsed time.

Yes. Most eligible daily drivers and performance cars can participate if they meet the event requirements and pass Tech Inspection. A special race car is not required.

No. Beginners are welcome, and PMC provides a Course Walk, mandatory Driver Meeting, Safety Briefing and access to experienced instructors.

No racing license is required. Drivers must be age 18 or older and hold a valid driver license.

No. Cars are released separately. You race against the clock, not against another car beside you.

Many street cars are eligible. PMC will help confirm vehicle eligibility and class before the event.

Yes. Every driver and passenger needs an approved, properly fitted helmet. See the Helmet Requirements page for the accepted standards.

Bring your driver license, approved helmet, water, closed-toe shoes and basic sun protection. Remove loose items from your car before inspection.

You check in, sign the required Waiver, complete Tech Inspection, attend the Course Walk, mandatory Driver Meeting and Safety Briefing, and meet your instructor if needed. When called, you report to Grid, proceed to the Start Line for your timed run, cross the Finish Line, and return to the Paddock as directed by PMC officials.

No. No Corner Work Required for Drivers. PMC assigns approved Event Staff to Corner Stations and other required event roles separately.

No. Membership is not required for standard event registration.

Standard driver entry is $85, plus a $3 processing fee per transaction. Approved Event Staff or volunteers who apply in advance and receive an official PMC assignment receive $25 off event entry.

PMC Solo Event points are recorded by class under the published scoring rules and build the Season Standings. Year-end awards are presented in every class.

Each participant will have one official driver record. After every confirmed event, PMC will attach verified Class Results to that record and update the Season Standings.

Not through this website yet. The official Driver Portal and Vehicle Garage are still in development, and the current public site does not store participant or vehicle records. A vehicle entered in an earlier demonstration is not an official PMC registration unless PMC confirms it directly.

Only Event Staff or volunteers who apply in advance and are officially assigned and approved by PMC for a required role at that specific event. Applying or helping without a confirmed assignment does not create a discount or credit.

Only after an advance application, official PMC assignment and approval. The discount is $25 off the standard event entry; it is not a separate registration option.

PMC Practice & Tune Day is designed for learning, instructor guidance, vehicle setup and meaningful seat time in a low-pressure format.

PMC Solo Events use official Timing and published Class Results. Season Results and Driver Standings are updated from eligible results under the published rules.

Yes. No racing experience is needed. PMC provides clear pre-event guidance, a Course Walk, mandatory Driver Meeting, Safety Briefing, Tech Inspection and access to experienced instructors.

PMC uses a controlled, closed Course with one vehicle released at a time. Every driver completes Tech Inspection and attends the Course Walk, Driver Meeting and Safety Briefing before driving. Safety always takes priority over run count or competition.

PMC may immediately stop the participant's runs, disqualify or remove the participant, cancel the registration, require the person to leave the venue, and deny future participation. This includes intentional drifting, burnouts, donuts, reckless or aggressive driving, abusive or threatening behavior, ignoring officials, or damaging venue, PMC, or third-party property. A conduct-related removal receives no refund, credit, or transfer, and the participant may be held responsible for damage caused.

For licensed drivers age 18 or older, repeated controlled runs can build car-control awareness, smoother inputs and confidence in understanding how a vehicle responds. Autocross complements—but does not replace—licensed driver education or professional emergency-response training.

PMC events are currently planned for licensed drivers age 18 or older. The vehicle must pass Tech Inspection, the driver must sign the official event Waiver, and an approved helmet is required.

PMC accepts Snell SA2020, Snell M2020 or newer, and qualifying FIA 8859-2015 or FIA 8860-2010 helmets or newer. Snell SA2015 and M2015 are accepted only through December 31, 2026. DOT-only and ECE-only helmets are not permitted. Every helmet is subject to PMC Tech Inspection.

Registration opens only after the event, venue agreement, insurance and administrative requirements are fully confirmed. The official registration notice will provide all event-specific instructions.

All registration fees are non-refundable. With at least 24 hours’ written notice, your registration may be transferred one time only to the next scheduled eligible PMC event. Late cancellations and no-shows receive no refund, credit or transfer.

Your registration automatically transfers to the rescheduled date. If you cannot attend that date, it may be transferred one time to the next scheduled eligible PMC event. No cash refund is issued unless PMC expressly announces otherwise.
