# Madison Sports Car Club - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `madisonsportscarclub.com` ## Description Madison Sports Car Club is a renowned brand that has been organizing autocross events for almost 50 years. They host a series of exciting autocross events in the Madison area, providing a legal and low-risk environment for participants to push their cars to the limit. Autocross, a timed trial event, involves navigating a road course set up with orange traffic cones in a spacious parking lot. Each driver takes on the course one at a time, testing their skills against the clock. Penalties are given for hitting the cones, and participants' times are compared to determine their rankings. These thrilling competitions take place in both dry and rainy conditions, presenting new challenges for drivers to overcome. The cost of event entry for non-members is $45, with a discounted rate of $35 for club members. By joining the club for just $50, participants can save on event fees and gain access to other benefits such as an official copy of the General Competition Rules, a subscription to the monthly newsletter, and exclusive pricing at autocross events. Madison Sports Car Club ensures that the beginner's experience is hassle-free, with minimal wear and tear on their vehicles. While there may be faster tire wear over time, hitting cones rarely leaves any noticeable marks on the cars, which can be easily buffed and waxed. However, participants should be aware that brakes and suspension components may be affected with increased competitiveness. Safety is a priority for Madison Sports Car Club. While driving speeds are relatively low (usually a maximum of 60mph), accidents can still happen. However, the club has never had a claim on their liability insurance. The courses are designed with safety in mind, and precautions are taken to work around any obstacles that may arise. To ensure fair competition, cars are categorized into different classes based on their performance abilities. Modifications to vehicles are assigned point values that determine whether they run in the Stock, Prepared, Modified, or Race categories. The club accommodates all types of vehicles, from cars to trucks to karts. Before hitting the course, all cars must pass a technical inspection to ensure basic safety qualifications. Loose objects in the vehicle must be removed, and the technical inspector is responsible for granting final approval. The club recommends reviewing the complete list of technical inspection requirements in the rules. Participants do not need a specific type of car to compete. The club follows a Run what you brung policy, welcoming all safe 4-wheeled vehicles. While competing in rollover-prone vehicles like large vans and SUVs is not recommended, everyone is still welcome to participate. Any licensed driver aged 16 years or older is eligible to compete. Additionally, children between the ages of 12 and 17 can compete in Karts that comply with the club's rule book. For drivers under 18, a legal guardian must be present at the track throughout the day, and both the child and guardian must sign a minor waiver. Membership with Madison Sports Car Club is not required, but it offers numerous benefits. For an affordable fee of $50, members receive perks such as an official copy of the General Competition Rules, a name tag, a subscription to the monthly newsletter, and special pricing at autocross events. Membership registration is available at any of the club's events. For beginners, the only mandatory items to bring are the entry fee ($45 for non-members/$35 for members) and a valid driver's license. The use of a helmet on the course is also required, with limited loaners available. Participants may choose to purchase their own helmets, as long as they are Snell rated M85 or SA85 or newer. DOT-rated helmets are not accepted. It is also recommended to bring basic supplies such as water, sunscreen, rain gear, and basic tools, as the events run rain or shine.
