With spring around the corner and a mild winter, many people are getting their cars ready for another season of autocross. Below is a listing of local events happening throughout the 2013 year.
What is auto-x? Just check out the videos below for a quick overview:

I’ll keep this list updated as dates become available and they change up.
For those of you who are new and want to try it out, just come out to an event. Watch or ask to go for a ridealong. It's the cheapest form of motorsports out there, with the cost being less than a speeding ticket, or even a parking ticket in some cases. If you really want to be involved, CASC-OR/SPDA puts on an amazing auto-x driving school near the end of April. The school is geared towards all driving skills. This school sells out every year. Registration opens during the CASC-OR open house at JRP in Mississauge on April 7.

Here is a list of local clubs/series
CASC-OR Mobil 1 Championship Series.
Also known as the “provincials”, this is the top series in the area. Each event is put on be a different hosting car club. It's a great way to visit different clubs and drivers from all around Ontario.
BMWCCT – BMW Car Club of Canada - Trillium Chapter
Events are held at the Powerade Centre in Brampton, as well as two events at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park Drivers Development Track. You may run one event as a non-member, but if you plan on running more than one event with BMWCCT, you should invest in a membership.
PCA - Porsche Club of America - Upper Canada Region
The autoslaloms take place at the Toronto Star Facility in Woodbridge (1 Century Place, Woodbridge, ON. L4L 8R2). Cost is $30/driver; however you must register online and you must be a member. The deadline is Thursday before the event.
PITL – Push it to the Limit
This series is put on by the Mazda Sports Car Club. Events take place at the Bramalea Go Station in Brampton. It’s a small lot, and a ton of fun. Expect a very tight and technical course.
PMSC – Peterbrough Motor Sports Club
PMSC is also a smaller club that host various lapping days and events, as well as a provincial event at Kawartha Downs Speedway.
SPDA - Subaru Performance Drivers Association
SPDA hosts the annual auto-x driving school, as well as the Attack Time Trial Series. Their main goal is to bring racing to racers.
St. LAC – St. Lawrence Automobile Club
St. LAC events are for those that are in the Kingston/Belleville area. Their auto-x venue switches between the Picton Airfield (yes…an airport) and Shannonville Motorsports Park.
TLMC – Twin Lakes Motor Club
TLMC has been around for over half a century now. They have been around for a while, and they know how to put on a great show. Their events are held at the Molson Center in Barrie. This lot is one of the largest open lots of any Solo II series. Course designs flow well, and getting runs is easy.
WOSCA – Western Ontario Sports Car Association
WOSCA is a London based club running events out of Centralia Airport.
