NOVICES THINGS TO KNOW!

 

 

Welcome to the Cincinnati Region SCCA Solo Event. What is a Novice? A Novice is new to autocrossing for the first three (3) events.  There will be a morning meeting and Novice walk-through. We have a Novice Mentor program that will help you get started with Autocross. You will share your first autocross with an experienced driver. You will also work the same positions as they do.
