What is Autocross?
Autocross is a sport of navigating your car through a defined course of pylons faster than your competition. Events are run at speeds usually between 40-65 MPH, usually in second gear. Unlike some other venues, we are extremely fortunate to have access to one of the premier autocross venues in the Northeast. Where many clubs are consigned to parking lots, we are privileged to be able to design courses that regularly exceed 1.25 miles in length with runs lasting well over a minute. You'd be amazed at how much excitement can be packed into 60 seconds.
Autocross is not only a "performance driving event", but a safe way to learn how to drive your car at its limit. You not only learn how to handle your car at speeds that you drive daily, but you also:
- Gain confidence in your driving ability
- Learn the limits of your car's tire adhesion
- Learn the limits of your car's brakes
- Learn correct seating, hand, and feet positions
Autocross is a great way to exercise your driving skills in a safe environment. For anyone that would like assistance, there will be instructors available to work with you at every event. Each autocross has a different and unique course design and will undoubtedly provide you with a fun driving experience. Autocross courses are set up using soft orange traffic pylons which will not damage your car. Finally, Autocross is a social gathering of new and old friends.

Event requirements
Important Event Requirements:
- Helmets with a Snell 2010 or later sticker are required. Snell types M (motorcycling), K (kart racing), and SA (competitive auto sports) are all acceptable. Helmets certified by the FIA are also permitted. We have about 7 loaner helmets if you need one – various sizes – first come, first served.
- Noise Restrictions - The Devens site has set stricter sound restrictions. During the event, we will be measuring the sound level of each car on the course. Noise must never exceed 87 decibels (db) from a distance of 75 feet and must not exceed 8 db over the ambient noise level as measured at a designated location. Please think twice before bringing a car with a very loud exhaust. If your car exceeds the noise limits, we can’t allow you to drive that car at the event.
- Minimum age 18 with a valid driver's license (not a permit). Note that, in the past, we allowed 16 and 17 year-olds to participate in autocross events. The minimum age is now 18 at Devens. That said, at regular autocross events (not the autocross school), people under the age of 18 are allowed to ride as a passenger with an experienced autocross driver.
- Tech Inspection. Your car must pass a technical inspection, which includes tires with visible tread, secure lug nuts and operable seat belts (factory installed belts are a minimum). No other special equipment is required.
- Roll bars or factory rollover devices, such as the roll hoops in Boxsters, are required for all open cars using race compound tires and swing axle automobiles (e.g. 356).
Waivers must now be signed online on the SpeedWaiver.com website prior to arriving at the event. Wiaver confirmation will be sent to your smartphone via text message which must be displayed upon arrival at the gate. You should receive a SpeedWaiver email after submitting this registration; the waiver forms may also be found at: https://pcaner.speedwaiver.com. Note that while you will see a box on the registration form that says "Skip the line, sign the waiver on your mobil phone" with a "No" option, if you select "No" and do not sign the waivers online you will not be admitted to the site.
Please determine your class before continuing.
- Porsche class descriptions and full event rules can be found on the NER website.
- Non-Porsche sub-classes are based on SCCA autocross classes; please refer to SCCA Class Definitions in 2025 Solo Rule Book (available online) to determine your non-Porsche class as required for registration. Times for non-Porsches are adjusted using SCCA's Solo PAX index to equalize the cars in the class based on potential performance.
Car Numbers:
If you attended an NER autocross in 2024 or 2025, you probably already have a number with us. Please enter that number when registering. If your number it is not accepted by MotorsportReg, don’t worry. The Registrar will check to see if your previous number (or your new number) is available within our autocross event file and assign that number if available.
If you have requested number that has been taken, we will assign an available number. Our members' numbers database is extensive. As a result, most f the single and low double-digit numbers have already been taken and are not available.
Also note that the Motorsportreg.com database is not linked to the NER autocross event files and assigns numbers randomly based on those that have not previously been assigned by that site. The site will also not allow a registrant to request a ‘B’ suffix as a dual driver. Your number may be revised without notice but will be on the class and work assignment sticker posted on your windshield upon arrival at the event.

- Gates open at 7:00 AM for check-in.
- Arrive no later than 8:00 AM, when the entry gate will be closed.
- Technical inspection will be done to cars lined in the center of the paddock starting at approximately 7:30 AM and ends at 8:30 AM; stay with your car until it has been inspected.
