History

In continuous existence since its founding in the early 1950's the Akron Sports Car Club has served its members well in a variety of automotive pursuits. Originally serving the needs of "real" sports car enthusiasts through a variety of related pursuits such as Gymkhanas and TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) Rallyes the organization has evolved into two highly focused groups: Autocross and Rallye.

One group within the Akron Sports Car Club is referred to as Autocross. From its humble beginnings as a Gymkhana, which was basically a very low-speed test of precision driving, Autocross has become the entry level into amateur motorsports. The essence of Autocross is to negotiate a course outlined with traffic pylons one car at a time in the least amount of time without hitting or knocking over any pylons. Cars are grouped together according to performance potential thereby preventing a Corvette directly competing against a Honda.

In Autocrossing there is virtually a class for every conceivable type of vehicle, from the Geo Metro to an open-wheeled Formula car. Car preparation for the beginner can be limited to having a safe, streetable vehicle, cleaning out all of the loose items in it, adding some air to the tires and getting some cheap magnetic vent covers to make numbers.
