The autocross is a chance to push the limits of both driver and car in a safe, controlled environment. Competitors navigate a course defined by traffic cones which will be set up at Laguna Seca lakebed area. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest possible time, with penalties assessed for hitting cones or going off course. There will be multiple run groups. If your run group is not driving the course, you will be asked to participate as a course worker.

Autocross Schedule:

Helmets

Tiger United Wheel and Tire Policy: 

All tires used must be DOT approved.

Classification Notes:

We are not using a points system to evaluate which class a car should be in. However we offer a few guiding principles:

The Stock Class recognizes cars that have been kept in showroom stock condition or have been equipped with LAT Options,
The Modified Class is meant for cars that have been modified in a manner that significantly changed the look of the vehicle and/or enhances their performance, especially in the Autocross.
The Personalized Class lies in the middle and contains cars that have been changed and accessorized to reflect the owner’s personal taste. Autocross performance should not be significantly improved over Stock Class cars.

Cars must compete in the same class for all events at Tigers United. That means you may not compete in the personalized class for autocross and then compete in the stock class for the concours. You must compete in the same configuration for all events. This means you may not change wheels or tires from one event to another. The TU44 Committee has complete discretion to change a car’s classification as it sees fit. Their decision will be final. If you have any questions regarding your car’s Class placement, please raise them ASAP to Patrick King (408) 529-8189. All Classification questions must be resolved before autocross.

Access to the Autocross:

The TU44 autocross is being held as a private event. While Sears Point is open to the public, admission to the autocross site will be limited to those wearing event badges.
