Autocross events, also called Solo (R) events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip. While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn!
South Bend Region not only provides class trophies for each event, we also run a season long series for region members. For information on how scoring works, and the various trophies we present, go here.
For a wonderful view into the world of Autocross, here is A Guided Tour Through the World of Solo II, by Lloyd Loring, South Bend Region, SCCA
The SCCA website also has a wealth of how-to guidance , located here. For help with car classing, review the classification assistant, here.
If you still have questions, contact our solo chair Kim Bollinger at solo@sbrscca.org or the co-chair, Steve Pierschalla at board2@sbrscca.org
