Start your engines for Mazda Autocross (MAX-30) on Saturday, October 13. MAX-30 will feature loads of seat time on a brand new course on the Prince Georges Stadium (Bowie Baysox) parking lot, 16501 Ballpark Rd, Bowie, Maryland. MAX-30 is designed for you to sharpen your skills while having fun applying your improved seat of the pants knowledge to full course runs.

MAX events are renowned for how many runs you receive on-course. While the heats are timed, MAX events are designed for fast, safe fun.

All experience levels can participate. Non-Mazda owners are welcome to drive with us as well, bring a friend.

We have divided the event into morning and afternoon sessions to reduce wait times between runs. Traditionally, participants receive either six runs in the morning or six in the afternoon. If you want to run all day, 12+ runs, then you need to sign up and pay for two sessions. With quick course manning transistions between run groups, we have had 9 runs in a session.

We have arranged for MSCW Instructors to be on hand during the event. Plus, our display timer provides immediate feedback; real time results so you can tell right away if the subtle changes you made in the last run helped improve your score.

Autocrosses are timed events where drivers navigate one vehicle at a time through a course marked by traffic pylons. Autocrosses emphasis car handling and driver skill, vice sheer horsepower. Speeds usually do not exceed highway speeds, but the activity level (measured in discrete turns per minute) can be higher than even Formula One due to the large number of elements packed into each course. Autocross courses are typically 50 to 70 seconds in length and clearly marked. Autocrossing is a good way to learn vehicle control applicable to daily driving.

Fees: $27 for MSCW members, $32 non-MSCW members, $5 helmet rental. The fee covers one session, either morning or afternoon, usually 6 runs. An all day option is available for 12+ runs, but you will need to pay for two sessions. Indicate "Both" on your application.

We welcome non-Mazda owners to participate in the autocross as well.
