Inter-Regional Race of Champions

is a pompous name for a very fun event.  The event - which we believe is the longest running inter-regional event in PCA - is a series of autocrosses we run with our friends from Motor-Stadt and Michiana regions.

These events help you learn how to properly maneuver your car around a course of pylons in a parking lot. Instructors and helmets are available and we always welcome and encourage new drivers! 

You run against a clock and there is only one driver on the course at a time - so it is as safe as you make it. This is a wonderful opportunity to better learn the limits of your car and your own driving skills. 

Every IROC event starts out with an Autocross Driving School where you can borrow a helmet and will be assigned an Instructor to help you learn the ins and outs of autocrossing.

Saturday, June 14, 2008 - IROC I - Motor-Stadt Region - MSR - @ Spartan Speedway (Mason, Michigan)  The track is ten minutes south of Lansing, or one mile north of the US-127 and Mason interchange on Cedar Street.  Get driving directions here.

Saturday, August 23, 2008 - IROC II - Michiana Region - MIR -  @ The Tire Rack (South Bend, IN) which is a half mile west of the 80/90 and US 31 interchange on Vorden Parkway (see map on The Tire Rack website).  Note that this is a Saturday. 

Sunday, September 7, 2008 - IROC III - West Michigan Region - WMR - @ the Ionia Fairgrounds (Ionia, Michigan).  Take I-96 East or West, exit M-66 North.  The fairgrounds are about 5 miles north of I-96, just over the river, on the left.  Detailed directions are available here.

  
Registration and tech inspections usually begin about 9:00 am. 

There is a Driver's Meeting/ Track Walk around 10:30 and we start running any novices at about 11:00 am.  Novices (in their first year of autocrossing) can run the morning session only for $10 if they wish. 

Once we start the timed events, you will get five or six timed runs.

We welcome you and encourage you to try autocrossing!  If you have any questions, please email our IROC representative, TJ Thatcher, or call him at 616.874.7932.

All convertibles may participate in these events with the top closed. All open cars must have either a roll bar, cage, or extender using the famous "broomstick rule."  Questions?  Please email TJ Thatcher.
