Grab a Helmet

The autocross is one of our most popular events with members and non-members alike. On the second Sunday of each month we get together at the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Training Center, set up some cones, and have some fun. While there are some good natured rivalries our autocross events are not about competition, instead our focus is on safety, driver educaton, and having fun. Instructors are available and guarantee to have your grin growing in no time. The cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Come on out and join in the fun.

Location

We are fortunate to be able to use the driver training facility at the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Training Center located at NE 36th and Air Depot. It is a great facility.



Directions

Go East from I-35 on NE 36th. Take care to obey the 35mph speed limit through Forrest Park. Over the river and just past the big trash hill on your riight, turn left on Air Depot and you are there. If you pass the railroad tracks you've gone too far.
