Re: [ST] Auto Cross
Like moto cross, except with auto. ;-)
No really, the guy I work with who owns the RS125 I ride also runs SCCA.
Auto cross is:
Autocross/Solo II events are low to medium speed auto racing events; they are often run on parking lots and airport runways, although street events and events at Go Kart tracks sometimes take place. Generally a course will be defined using traffic cones. One driver at a time negotiates a course laid out with the cones, or pylons, testing their skill against the clock. Time penalties are charged for disturbing cones. In most regions, the penalty is 2 seconds per cone, although in some places it may be 1 second.
There is an upper speed guideline for Solo II which is intended to keep speeds in a domain that most drivers might have encountered on the streets and highways; the fastest cars at a Solo II should not get much over 70mph.
Generally, each driver takes three or four runs at an event. A driver is awarded the best time of all runs taken.
