PERFORMANCE DRIVING
AUTOCROSS
Get to know speed and handling in an intense, but controlled setting. Autocross is a fun and safe way to compete in a motorsports environment.

A Lowkey autocross is a low-pressure event for novice drivers, those not ready to go against the clock competitively, or for those tuning their vehicles for a competitive SCCA style event. This provides a dynamic and fun atmosphere for all levels of drivers. These events are timed, but there are no awards, classes, or podiums. It’s you against yourself! Lowkey autocross provides a cone course on our 6-acre vehicle dynamics area. These events will put your car control skills to the test, as well as your car dynamics, set up but without the competitive pressure. This is a great way to get some experience handling your car in a variety of control situations and is a good introduction to performance driving.
Pitt Race offers two versions of autocross. The first is a Pitt Race managed event called Lowkey autocross.
The second is managed and operated by the Steel Cities Region of SCCA.
Lowkey autocross is open to both fully prepared and stock configuration vehicles. We do not permit vehicles with a high center of gravity. Most SUV’s, 4x4 trucks, and certain cars are not allowed.
If you have any questions, please contact Pitt Race at 724-535-1000 or Email Us
Pre-registration for Lowkey autocross is available via motorsportreg.com or by calling the track directly. Walk-up registrations are welcome, however we do sell out. The cost is $40 per driver.

The Steel Cities Region SCCA also hosts autocross competitions on the same vehicle dynamics area at Pitt Race.
Management and registration for these events is done through Steel Cities. Please see the Pitt Race calendar or the Steel Cities calendar for a schedule of these events.
In an SCCA competition, cars are divided up into one of 40 different classes, ranging from daily driver economy cars on street tires all the way to purpose built winged monsters. Please visit stcsolo.com for rules and details.
