AUTOGRASS is Britain's most popular form of amateur motor racing.  The sport takes place at around 50 venues throughout England, Wales and Northern and Southern Ireland. 

AUTOGRASS is car racing, usually on quarter-mile dirt oval tracks.  Although highly spectacular to watch, it is first and foremost a participant sport.  Meetings are promoted by non-profit making clubs, which are affiliated to the governing body, the National Autograss Sports Association (NASA).  The tracks are laid out on natural surfaces (usually a farmer's field) - a fresh track will start off as grass, but that won't last long!!  The track will be constructed by club members a couple of days before the event, and the racers are expected to help out with the organisation on the day.

This is a true family sport - anyone can take part.  Junior drivers may start racing at 12 years old, moving into the adult classes at 16, and some drivers are racing competitively well into their 60s and 70s.  Ladies races are held at every meeting and the sharing of cars between family members is encouraged.
