The purpose of Riesentöter
Autocross is to challenge and improve driving skills in a fun, safe, controlled
environment. Nothing needs to be changed or added to your car, but there
are common sense safety procedures that must be followed. It is each driver's
responsibility to heed and observe the following rules. If you are new to
autocrossing, go to www.pca.org/autox/index.html
for some excellent general information about autocrossing. This website
will give you an overview of what to expect at your first autocross.

CAR CLASSIFICATION
* Cars are placed into classes so that cars of approximately the same capabilities compete with each other. Club race people will find these classifications very samiliar.
* Proper clasification is the responsability of the entrant. Please review the classifications to determine what class your car will be in PRIOR to arriving and registration. This will speed up the registration process for everyone. However, the registrar will help you with proper car classification if you are uncertain of your class. Misclassification, higher or lower, can be protested. Results in increased performance will move the car into the next higher class. Deliberate cheating will not be accepted and dismissal from the event shall be at the discretion of the event chair person. WE STRIVE TO OPERATE IN A SELF AND PEER GOVERNING HONOR SYSTEM.
