Default BAD NEWS - No More AutoX/ Drifting

Bad news about future events at Pungo. The site was just rented to a government contractor and all events (autocrosses, drifting events, etc) have been canceled for the rest of the year, and probably more than that....


via TidewaterRacing.com


Trying to find a link to confirm it now

ODR has justed received word that Pungo airfield has been rented out to a government contractor and that all scheduled events (including ours unfortunately) have been cancelled. There will be no October nor November event out at Pungo. Please monitor this thread as I will post information on how ODR will refund the entry fees already paid for this event. Sorry for the late notice, but we were blindsided!

Have they shut down Little Creek for when they do Auto-Xs out there? I haven't seen a post about one in a while.

ACU-4 is still open. I thought i read about one later this month but tis only a rumor as i do not see anything over on autocross.us about signups.


Langly's still a badass place (8+ runs each) to race and ACU-4 (little creek's amphib) is the best. There are some really romanticizing over on the autox forum about pungo's glory days.

Sounds pretty cool from back in the day.
