If you want a place to legally drive your car to its limits in a competitive and fun environment, then Solo is for you! During autocross competition, drivers race against the clock as they navigate technical courses designated by pylons or cones. Each driver is given at least three chances to post their best time. It is fast, it is fun, and relatively inexpensive.
If you'd like to race in the next autocross event, your car in good mechanical working order and a helmet are pretty much all you'll need to get started.
Autocross competition is broken down into a number of classes so that virtually any car can be competitive. So whether you own a Corvette or a Civic, you can be sure you'll have a great time. Don’t know what class your car fits in, Follow this link: SCCA Offical Cars & Rules Page. Still have questions, Feel free to post them on the forums: Region Forum Page or ask on site!
For more information about race dates, and location, check out the Solo schedule of events. We want to see you there!
