PITL hosts this autoslalom time trial competition in a large open parking lot at the Bramalea GO Station in Brampton.
No previous training is required only a valid drivers license and your own car. I will be available to coach those who want to learn the ropes and improve quickly.

If you don't want to drive that's ok. If you ever wanted to feel what it's like to get a ride in a race car just show up. I know a lot of the regular racers and I can find you a passenger seat in a car driven by an experienced highly skilled driver driving a car with race compound tires that will grip corners far beyond what you think is possible. Loaner helmets are available for those who do not have a Snell M2000 motorcycle helmet.

Directions:
From Hwy 401 or 407
Exit at Dixie Rd., travel north to Advance Blvd. (north of Hwy 407).
East to Alfred Kuehne Blvd., follow to end.

Below is the Wikipedia description of an Autoslalom:
*****************
"Autocross (also known as Autoslalom in Canada) is a form of motorsports that emphasizes safe, low-cost competition and active participation. An autocross is a timed competition where drivers navigate one at a time through a temporary course marked by traffic cones, rather than racing on a track with multiple other cars, as in road racing or oval racing. Autocross tends to place more emphasis on car handling and driver skill than on sheer horsepower, and events typically have many classes which allow almost any vehicle, from economy sedans to purpose-built vehicles, to compete. Speeds are slower in absolute terms when compared to other forms of motorsports, usually not exceeding highway speeds, but the activity level (measured in discrete turns per minute) can be higher than even Formula One due to the large number of elements packed into each course. Autocross courses are typically 40 to 70 seconds in length. In addition to being a national-level motorsport in its own right, autocrossing is a good way to learn skills that transfer to road racing, as drivers learn vehicle control and club ethics.

Autocross events are usually held in large paved areas like parking lots or airfields. Typically, new courses are created for each event so drivers must learn a new course each time they compete. Prior to driving, a competitor will walk the course, taking mental notes, and developing a strategy to be refined upon subsequent runs...."

"One of the primary attractions of autocross is that it is an inexpensive way to get involved in motorsports. The potential for car damage is low because of autocross' low average speeds, lack of physical obstacles, and lack of wheel-to-wheel racing. For this reason, most autocross participants compete in "daily drivers", which is not the case in most other forms of motorsport."
