PCA-LPR (Loma Prieta Region) will host their autocross #6 event at the same location on Saturday, August 22nd. See msreg.com/2026-LPR-AX6 to register. Attend both events for a full weekend of autocross driving fun.

Attention: PCA Zone 7 Autocross Car Classes have changed for 2026:

A new Novice Class, “N-01” was added – this is exclusively for novice Porsche car drivers who have attended 10 or less autocross events (regardless of club affiliation) in their driving history.
The prior “A” Class was eliminated – now, the entry point for unmodified “as delivered” Porsche cars is the Optioned (“O”) Class.
Three Modified “M” Classes were added for cars with weight and aero modifications that enable competitive advantages beyond those of the Prepared “P” Classes but which fall short of the even more extensive modifications allowed in the Unlimited “U” Class.
Optioned “O”, Prepared “P”, Unlimited “U” and “Fun” Classes carry over from the previous ruleset.

Please carefully read through the Zone 7 Car Classification Rules document to fully understand the rules, and register your car accordingly for 2026 autocross events: https://zone7.pca.org/wp-content/uploads/2026-Z7-Autocross-Rules.pdf

Drivers must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid, government-issued driver’s license to register and participate in this event. Drivers may be asked to show their license.

Co-drivers sharing one car will be assigned to separate run groups and must run with unique car numbers. Each driver should register individually, indicating in the process that they are sharing a car, and including the co-driver’s name (LastName, FirstName).

The SpeedWaiver link for this event is: https://pcaggrax.speedwaiver.com/lgdin Kindly sign your Speedwaiver immediately after registration using your name exactly as listed in MSReg, even if there is some chance you might not attend.

Adult guests may attend but must also sign the above SpeedWaiver in advance. Minor guests require special paper waivers signed in advance of the event by both parents – please contact the Autocross Director for waiver forms or further information.

Drivers must acknowledge the PCA Zone 7 policy on personal transportation devices to register: “The use of personal transportation devices, including but not limited to bicycles, scooters and skateboards, whether powered or non-powered, is solely at the operator’s own risk. The Autocross Director retains sole discretion to restrict, limit or prohibit use of such devices for any reason.” Note: It is also suggested that such devices be used primarily at a walking pace as speed on course is a safety and a competition issue.

Run Group and Work Assignments will be added to the registration info on MSReg after registration closes ~2 days prior to the event under the "Entries" section for the event.

Live timing will be available here: PCA-GGR Live Timing Website (Clokkr)
This is an all-day event. Half-day participation is not available.
Lunch sandwiches and bottled water will be provided as part of your registration.
With 2 people in a car, at least one must be a trained PCA Zone 7 Autocross Instructor.

Special Notice: Through the PCA Juniors Participation Program (PCA JPP), 16 and 17-year old drivers holding an unrestricted, government-issued driver’s license may participate in PCA-GGR autocross events if additional, alternative waiver requirements are met. PCA JPP requires that qualified, licensed drivers may register only after a JPP waiver signed by both parents or a legal guardian with signature(s) witnessed by a notary is delivered by email to the Autocross Director a minimum of four (4) days in advance of the event. The minor driver will also be required to sign the “Minor’s Assumption of Risk Acknowledgement” page of the waiver with witness by the Autocross Director when checking in at the event, and at least one parent or legal guardian must be present for the duration of the event. The PCA JPP waiver is available here: PCA JPP & Waiver
