Autocross at the Coast Coliseum

American Car Street Promotions partnered with the Scarlet Pearl to host Autocross at the Coast Coliseum for the eighth year.

With BF Goodrich’s ‘Share the Ride,’ adrenaline junkies ride next to a professional driver for the fastest 30 seconds of their life.

Dozens of spectators gathered in the tri-level parking garage to enjoy the track from a bird’s eye view.

About 100 rides are expected to be given today and over 500 by the end of the weekend.

Drivers are also able to register their own cars and test the power and speed under their own hoods. America Car Street Promotions Owner Brian Finch said, “Every year it’s growing more and more. We got a great venue here at the Coliseum, where you’ve got the parking garage multi levels so they can see the whole course. So, we just have a blast here. This is our favorite event of the year. We come all the way down from Nashville to put this on. It gives everybody kind of a place to come up and let it hang out. So, you’re not here on the street, you’re in a safe controlled environment. There’s nothing really to hit out here, you might take out a few cones but other than that you can get all of your aggressions out and have some fun.”

Each year the course of the track changes and takes about three hours to set up.
