This autosport event is Solo Autocross: Drivers compete against the clock on a road course marked by cones. The course is designed to challenge drivers’ skills and vehicle handling, not engine power and top speed. Almost any road-legal car that is not a rollover risk can be driven. Cars are classed by capabilities and those classes are used to adjust times to level the driving field, allowing driver-to-driver comparison and competition.
Este evento de Autocross se hace individualmente: Los conductores compiten contra el reloj en una pista marcada por conos. La pista esta diseñada para un desafio de las habilidades y el manejo del conductor y no del motor o la mejor velocidad. Cualquier auto legal que no tenga riesgo de volcarse se puede usar para el evento. Los autos son clasificados por capacidad y esas clasificaciones se usan para ajustar tiempo y elevar el campo de conduccion, permitiendo comparacion y competicion de conductor a conductor.
What should you expect?
At your first PAR SCCA Solo event, you’ll have to register, sign a waiver of liability, show a valid driver’s license, get your vehicle inspected for classification and safety (requirements - see Solo rules HERE), and get your helmet inspected (requirements HERE). (PAR SCCA has loaner helmets available). You’ll then have the opportunity to walk the course. You will be asked to help with setting up the event. There will be a mandatory drivers’ meeting where rules and regulations along with safety procedures will be explained. Drivers will be divided into two groups, one group will drive the course while the other group officiates: controlling starts, noting when cones are hit or drivers leave the course, resetting hit cones, etc., etc. Drivers will drive multiple runs, and their best time of the day will be used for competition. When all drivers in both groups have completed their runs, everyone will work to collect all the cones and equipment and clean up the event. Final results will be announced and trophies for the day will be awarded.
