NOTE: Important 2026 AX classification changes: Please note that the Zone 7 AX classes have changed for 2026. A new class, “N-01” for novice Porsche drivers has been added. Drivers who have attended 10 or less autocross events (regardless of club affiliation) are eligible for this class. The “A” class has been eliminated and the starting point for unmodified “as delivered” cars is the Optioned (O) class. A Modified (M) class has been added for cars with modifications beyond the Prepared (P) class but fall short of the Unlimited (U) class modifications. Optioned (O), Prepared (P), Unlimited (U) and Fun classes carry over from the previous ruleset.
It is important that you review the classes and class your car accordingly as per PCA Zone 7 2026 Autocross Rules before registering: 2026 Zone 7 AX rules

In addition, there will be some new Good Neighbor Rules in effect. The autocross community is thankful that Salinas Airport management and surrounding community allow the autocross community access to Salinas Airport in order to conduct our events. We, the clubs and users of the site are in turn committed to limit any negative impact and maximize positive outcomes to all concerned.
All users and guests of the site will make all reasonable attempts to limit noise produced before, during and after our events:
- Consider SAFETY FIRST
- Street legal exhausts are required
- ALWAYS drive BELOW the posted speed limit when driving to and from the event. Accelerate slowly from lights. NO “showboating” for any reason. REPORT anyone violating these rules to event management so they can be banned from future events.
- No extraneous revving of engines
- 5mph paddock speed while on-site
