High
Speed Autocross Racing is one of the easiest and least
expensive ways to get on a racetrack. HSAX is run
against the clock, instead of directly against other
cars. The races are held on wide open race tracks, not
on parking lots, so the driving experience can be as
exciting as wheel to wheel racing. For that reason, HSAX
is much safer than driving fast on the street- and legal
too! As your skill and driving expertise improve, you
will see your lap times go down. HSAX is pure driving
excitement!
The race day starts with a
mini-driver school so novices are welcome. There are
multi-lap practice sessions in the morning followed by a
minimum of 3 timed runs with class winners awarded a
trophy at the end of the day. All you generally
need is a valid state drivers license and an approved
Snell helmet. In addition, your car must pass a
technical inspection to ensure its safety and mechanical
systems are in good working condition. Roll bars
are required in convertibles and roadsters.
Cars are assigned to classes based
on speed potential and level of preparation, so you run
against similar cars for trophies and a season point
championship. Car classes cover the exotic sports and
fully prepared race cars right through economy commuter
cars. The emphasis is on “Run what you brung” and have
fun - lots of fun!
