2023 North Carolina Autocross Championship
Mark your calendars! October 7th & 8th!
The North Carolina Autocross Championship (NCAC) is a joint venture between 5 autocross clubs in North Carolina, with hosting duties rotating among the member clubs. This year the event will be hosted by Highlands Sports Car Club (HSCC). In addition to competing in their individual classes, drivers will also be representing their home club in the NCAC Club Cup, with the winning club taking home the trophy for the next 12 months. This event is open to any licensed driver (and kart drivers with proper documentation) regardless of their membership status in any individual club.
