What is the CAR and DRIVER RACE SERIES?
The CAR and DRIVER RACE SERIES is designed to let you drive your car as fast
as you can in a safe, professionally managed environment. The event will
test your driver skill and car control in 3 unique driver’s skill challenges.
Hold on tight as you rip through the extensive labyrinth of cones on the
AutoX Challenge. Feel yours blood boil as you drop the hammer on the
100-yard Acceleration Challenge and enjoy a free lesson in physics as you
fight lateral g-forces on the Skidpad Challenge! Time is your enemy as you race
against the clock. Kill a cone or slide off course and suffer a time penalty.
Where else can you drive your car as fast as possible without getting a
ticket? The Precision Racing Organization offers car classes to ensure you are
competitive whether you drive a Pinto or a Ferrari. Winners in each class are
determined by combining each competitor’s best time from each driving skill
challenge.

AutoX Challenge
Watch the Video
· What is it?
The AutoX Challenge is a long, twisting road course designed using cones in a large
parking lot. No, we are not talking your local retail store parking lot; the
CAR and DRIVER RACE SERIES only stops at the nation’s largest venues. Each
competitor gets 3 runs to improve their time. Only the best time will be used in the
final tally.
· Objective:
Become a human pinball as you hurl your car through the professionally designed road
course. It’s all about car control and your ability to find the best line in this
purpose built thrill ride. Knock seconds off your time in 3 heart-pounding runs. Push
your limits and surpass them!
Acceleration Challenge

· What is it?
The Acceleration Challenge is a 100-yard, one car at a time-straight line shot of adrenaline
from a standing start. Each competitor gets 3 runs to improve their time. Only the
quickest time will be used in the final tally.
· Objective:
Driver skill is put to the test on the launch pad. White knuckles on the wheel, one foot on
the go pedal! Stay focused and shift clean; it’s all about reaction time and driver control.
Skidpad Challenge
Watch the Video
· What is it?
The Skidpad Challenge is a 200-foot diameter circle track designed to test your car’s lateral
traction. Each competitor gets 4 runs: 1 warm-up and 3 timed runs. Like the other challenges,
only the fastest lap will count toward your final tally.
· Objective:
Hang on for dear life as you experience the full grip potential of your tires. Push your car
to the edge and discover the true meaning of centripetal force. Don’t lose control!
How do I race?
- Be prepared to have fun!
- Register before the event online here.
- You will need a helmet. You can bring your own SA95 or newer rated helmet, or we
can provide you with a helmet at the event.
- You will need a car. Please be sure your car is in safe working order. Each
competing car must meet the minimum requirements in our rulebook.
- Don’t forget your lead foot.
How does it work?
- Go here, enter your car and register.
The cost is $99 for the day. The RACE SERIES will be in each city for two days, so feel free to
register for both!
- You will receive a confirmation email from the Precision Racing Organization with your
registration information.
- Within a few weeks of the event you will receive a second email instructing you when to arrive
at the event and what you will need to bring. You must wear a SA95 or newer rated helmet! Again,
helmets are available for use at the event if you do not bring your own.
- When you arrive at the event you will be assigned a number and given an adhesive number and
classification plate. The adhesive will not harm your paint! However, it is recommended that
you wax your vehicle prior to the event to ensure the sticker easily peels off after use.
- Next you will proceed to the technical inspection area. Here the technical inspectors will check
your vehicle’s suspension, linkage, lug nuts, and be sure the interior is safe from
distractions during your runs. There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as catching a hamburger
wrapper in the face at high speeds!
- Precision Racing Organization officials will then guide you to your designated staging area.
Here you will wait for your chance to race! While you anxiously await your turn, get some driving
tips from the on-site training videos.
- After completing your runs, find your times and discover how you rank in your class at the
Precision Racing Organization truck. There will be a number of live displays as well as live
audio and stats being published to the Internet for your friends and family.
- A trophy presentation will be held at the end of competition.
How are the events scored?
In each of the three Challenges, the fastest time for each class will receive a perfect
score. A perfect score on the AutoX Challenge will be valued at 50 points, while the
Skidpad Challenge and Acceleration Challenge will each carry point values of 25. Drivers
finishing in second place and below will receive a points value based upon the percentage
of the winning time they ran. A driver's score for any given challenge is determined by
dividing his or her time (including penalties) by the top time in the class and then multiplying the
points value for the element by the quotient. The table below demonstrates this scoring
method during a sample event.

example, in a 10 car class the winner would receive 9 bonus points while the
ninth place finisher would receive 1.
