German, Japan and India Guests Visit Autocross

International Guests Try Autocross Yesterday's Autocross event at Devens had a unique twist to it. A few of our regular solo drivers brought a few guests visiting from Germany, Japan and India. So they brought them along to give it a try! Some of the guests hopped in cars with NER drivers for ride alongs, but a few actually put their rental cars on the starting line and raced them on the day's course. This is just a reminder, anyone can autocross. With any car. So grab a friend and bring them with you!

Now in it's third year, NER's Midnight Madness has worked out many of the kinks - using marker lights instead of headlights, where to place the track lights, moving flag stations for better visibility in the low light hours.
