Yes, that is not a spelling error...Trackcross. :)
A friend of mine has been doing these for a few years now and loves it. He finally talked me into coming out and giving it a try, and I was happy I did. It's a real cheap way to beat on your car at the track. They charge about $60 and you easily can get 10 or so runs in.
Why it's called a trackcross is because they take, (in this case) the first 8 turns of a road course and turn it into a segment that is timed. Also they took the fastest turn and coned it so u couldn't use the whole width of the track, which was oddly challenging. I wish more tracks offered this, but the only one I know of is the one I went too outside of Pittsburgh, PA at Pitt Race...which is a awesome course BTW.
Anyway, here a couple videos I made.

And this one was just for fun. I wanted to see what it looked like having a camera on the hood. The best part was hearing the intake.

That looks like a pretty fun event, my car would probably roll over on the first corner...

Thanks, that's why I bought this car...to drive the hell out of it!!

Yeah, I've never seen something like this either...that's why I wanted to share and see if this was old news.

No, we stopped there on our way to WV for 'Rally North America'. Plus both the wifey and I grew up in Pittsburgh so our families still live there. Besides that, it was very cheap for how much fun I had. I'm used to doing pdx's or pde's that cost almost $300, so this was a very good 'bang for your buck'.

It is probably the closest track to us that has good elevational changes.
Road America is still cooler. :)

I have been to an auto-x where they did this. It was streets of willow and they broke the course down and changed it a little with cones, it was pretty cool. A good way to step from auto-x to roadcourse.

Great videos. That's what I'm building my car for.
