In a Solo competition (SCCA’s term for an Autocross), drivers compete over a relatively low-speed course marked by pylons (traffic cones), but you are still trying to go as fast as you can, and hitting a pylon adds 2 seconds to your time. In an average Solo competition, a driver gets 3-5 runs, but usually no practice. A walk (or several) through the course is the only look a driver gets most of the time. No special safety gear is required beyond a helmet, and loaner helmets are usually available. Solo has multiple Open classes for cars in Street (stock), Street Touring, Street Prepared, Street Modified, Xtreme Street, Prepared or Modified trim (including karts up to 125cc), plus a few specialized Spec classes,Classic American Muscle classes and Heritage Classic classes — and parallel Ladies classes for all of those (females may choose to run in Open classes). Many Regions also have added classes for novice drivers, senior drivers or top-level “pro” drivers. Two drivers can share a single car in the same class. Beyond the Regional level, MiDiv conducts the Solo Performance Specialties/R&S Racing Midwest Division Solo Championship series which brings together drivers from throughout the division. Drivers must be members of a MiDiv region to compete for points in the SPS/R&S series. Members also may compete for regional championships, but non-member entries are always welcome. The ultimate goal for autocrossers is the Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals, conducted every September in Lincoln, NE.
Beyond the Regional or Divisional level, drivers may also compete in SCCA’s Solo National Tour, a nationwide points series, and/or in ProSolo, a nationwide series of events like a drag racve with corners with drivers competing two at a time. ProSolo also concludes in a year-end compedtition just prior to the Solo Nationals in Lincoln, NE.
