Exit78 Photo of the Day #63
Autocross competition at Montana ExpoPark, Great Falls, Montana, September 2, 2007, (Pentax K10D)
This was the one and only time we had ever been to any kind of auto competition. We were there with my brother and his family and I took the opportunity to get some action photos.
Autocross (Wikipedia) (also called “Solo”, “Auto-x” or “Autoslalom”) is a timed competition in which drivers navigate one at a time through a defined course on either a sealed or an unsealed surface. It is a form of motorsports that emphasizes safe competition and active participation. Autocross differs from road racing and oval racing in that generally there is only one car on the track, driving against the clock rather than other cars. As an entry-level motorsport it provides a stepping stone for drivers looking to move into other more competitive and possibly expensive forms of racing (such as rallying, rallycross and circuit racing).
