*** Autocross #8 in 5 days (and our September autocross is canceled) ***
If you weren't at the practice event we had this past weekend in Beeville... you sure missed out! But worry not because you can make amends this Saturday...
Aug 24: Spokes Autocross #8 @ RCCC
Our 8th autocross of the season is this Saturday at River City Community Church in Selma TX. I imagine it will be another great event with a fun course, followed by a likely gathering at Guadalupe Brewing for all of the post-autocross banter.

*** Our September 29th autocross is canceled ***
Unfortunately we have to cancel our September 29th autocross event. If you are already registered/paid for that event, we will issue you a refund. This will reduce our season from 12 autocrosses to 11 (plus the Tracksprint at H2R).
