Autograss is the sport of racing specially prepared saloon cars and purpose built specials on a laid out oval track. The surface is natural, either grass,dirt or even mud. Strictly a non-contact sport the object is to beat the other cars in the race to the finish line in a set number of laps.

The format of the racing is all classes run separately with upto nine cars in a race using a straight line start method. All clubs cater for ladies, juniors as well as men. Ladies and men may drive any class of car or special whereas a Junior may only race Class 1 cars in a junior race. The Juniors must be between 12-16 years old. It is common to find a father and son or husband and wife sharing the same car at race meeting.

The majority of racing is done at club level with visits to other clubs in the area. The National championships which are held in August are for the top 400 drivers who qualify through their leagies. The ladies and Juniors National championships are held in September with entry by application.

With 10 classes to chose from there is a class to suit all pockets and level of skill. Whether you want to race a front engine front wheel drive or a front engine rear wheel drive or even a mid engined car. but before you build get a rule book from your local club. When you join a N.A.S.A. club you are given a National licence which entitles you to race at any of the 50 member clubs in the U.K. from March to November.

Whichever N.A.S.A. club you join, whichever class you race in, whichever club you travel to, you can be assured that you will join 6,000 members who enjoy Autograss racing........
