AutograssAutograss racing is Britains most popular form of amateur motor racing. It takes place at venues throughout England, Wales and Northern and Southern Ireland. Autograss is basically cars racing, usually on quarter-mile oval tracks laid out on natural surfaces (usually a farmers field) - a fresh track will start off as grass. Although highly spectacular to watch, it is first and foremost a participant sport. Meetings are promoted by non-profit making clubs, which are affiliated to the governing body, the Autograss Sports Associationhttp://www.loosenet.co.uk/nasa/ This is a true family sport anyone can take part. Junior drivers may start racing at 12 years old, moving into the adult classes at 16, and some drivers are racing competitively well into their 60s and 70s. Ladies races are held at every meeting and the sharing of cars between family members is encouraged. It is the affordable motor sport. You can race in the most basic classes (such as Class 1, for standard 1000cc Minis with only safety modifications) for an initial outlay of under 500 and minimal running costs. There are ten classes of car ranging from production saloons, through progressively wilder Modified machinery to the super-fast single-seat Specials.
