SCCA Solo (Autocross)

A driving skill competition, where you and your car negotiate a course laid out in a parking lot and marked with traffic cones. The lowest time wins, and penalty seconds are added to your score for each cone you knock down. It's just one car at a time, so there's little risk of trading paint with other cars. Solo speeds are relatively low, typically second gear for most cars. The turns come up quickly, though, so don't be fooled into thinking Solo is boring. To get a good low time you must be smooth and precise, and quick. The skills you learn in the parking lot will greatly improve your car control, and help make you a safer driver on the street.

Mirrorkhana

Date: Sunday, October 8, 2006

Location: Xerox (Building 200 parking lot off Caracus Dr.)

Time: Registration: 8:00 AM; First car off: 10:30 AM
A Mirrorkhana is a double elimination event. Two cars start on opposite sides of the same course (but on adjacent straights) at the same time. The car that runs the course and reaches its own finish line first wins! There will be a handicap system to "equalize"between classes competing against each other. Novice, and Ladies classes will not be used since they already run under the PAX system that the handicaps are going to be based upon anyway. Drivers competing on "Roadtires" will get a generic 20 foot head start. More info: Cory Kuhns 233-7353 or solo@flr-scca.com
