About this event
We are back at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana for our first event of the 2018 season. We will have a Practice on Saturday followed by a Championship event on Sunday.
Solo, or autocross, is a low speed, timed, car handling event set up as a small road course lined with orange traffic cones on a large parking lot or aircraft runway. The emphasis is on handling and car control and courses are laid out so that the top speed is limited to what would typically be encountered during normal driving. Learn more about us at solo2.com.
The Saturday Practice and Sunday Championship events are open to all SCCA members. If you’re not an SCCA member, do not worry. During the online registration process, you can buy a weekend membership.

You must have a vehicle number in order to compete on Autocross Sundays. The best way to get a number is to purchase a permanent number via a points cards. Points cards are available for purchase online here. Cost is $20 for each calendar year (cards purchased the last three months of any calendar year will also be valid the following calendar year). Please note that an Autocross Sunday points card is required to compete for year-end awards, Team Championship, and Team Challenge.
If you’re not ready to purchase a points card, a random 6xx number will be assigned to you at the registration table along with a matching paper number that can be taped to your car. If you have already have a permanent number on your vehicle, you may have the option to use a random 6xx number or convert your existing number by placing a one (1) and the appropriate number of zeros in front of your existing number to create a 1xxx number. In either case, the cost for a temporary number is $5 per event.
