2021 Autocross Season Champions The 2021 season kicked off with 13 events on the calendar, and 8 of them would count towards season points. After the turbulent 2020 season, the AutoX team only had to cancel one event this year - and that was due to the extreme weather that flooded tracks, roads, neighborhoods and basically the entire northeast.

After the 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid-19, it's not surprising that 1130 competitors in total, representing 45 of the 50 states, eagerly gathered at Lincoln AirPark to crown more than 60 national champions in autocross classes this year. With our 39 entries, NER was once again one of the largest regions represented at SoloNats. When all was said and done, NER put on fantastic performances, bringing home FIVE (5) 2021 National Championship titles, with an additional 9 earning trophy placements for the week. But to top it off, our drivers topped the PAX lists, proving just how strong our solo drivers are on a national level.
