I've removed the Lack of Publicity section from the article. This isn't a big enough issue among autocrossers to warrant a discussion in the article of whether or not the SCCA should publicize the sport more. Recury 16:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Amongst top-flight professional autocrossers, this issue is the primary reason behind the lack of member retention, competitor burnout, and overall dissatisfaction with the sport. It absolutely belongs in this article, and has been restored. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.103.226.30 ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 26 April 2006.
This long-dead thread from the scca forum suggests Rocky Entriken would be a good source to contact for information about the history of autocross. You may also want to read this. -- Evenprime 00:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone else feel that we should stop linking to local clubs in the article? There are probably hundreds of autocross clubs around the country -- if we're not going to link to them all, then linking to some random subset of them is pretty arbitrary.

OK, removed the local club links. I went ahead and removed the links to forums too, since we aren't supposed to have those either. Recury 19:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I put SCCA back. It makes absolutely no sense for us not to link to *major* national autocross sanctioning bodies. That includes SCCA, BMWCCA, NASA, etc. FCYTravis 22:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Could the picture of the Cavalier please be replaced with a more typical autocross car? A SM M3 perhaps? How about a Mini? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.119.0.39 ( talk • contribs).
The content of the ProSolo article hasn't been updated since its creation, and is identical to the blurb on ProSolo in this article. I say we delete the body of the ProSolo article and instead redirect it to the autocross article. Stephen Hui 15:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Since Gymkhana essentially is a sport in the form of autocross with minimal difference only at the track setup and such, I'm proposing a merge for that. -- Blackhawk charlie2003 ( talk) 14:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Just the first sentence. "Autocross is a form of motorsports that emphasizes safe, low-cost competition and active participation." This seems a silly detail meant for a section later in the article. The sport may be safe and low-cost, but are those really the sport's most important features? 74.183.191.55 ( talk) 06:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
In some countries there exist difference between Autocross (or AutoX and I believe it is also sometimes known as Solo) and Autoslalom (or Solo-2). Don't know which one is Gymkhana. Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with the subject nor can I find much information on that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.178.130.6 ( talk) 21:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Is this page necessary? Could it be a disam page or could the others merge here? Rally Wonk ( talk) 00:18, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
I've just formally proposed the merge of Autocross (USA) to Autocross. It appears the significant difference is the surface type. There are large portions of text already common to either page. The remainder is a heavy weighting to the SCCA's autocross, which might do well under a move to SCCA Solo or similar if there is demand for somebody to develop that. I would not, thus the merge proposal. Rally Wonk ( talk) 16:33, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
