Re: [ST] Auto Cross



http://msf-usa.org/

 

If you believe MCN, there's a power hungry element in charge of the MSF,
trying to squeeze out all other forms of rider training.  

 

Any MSF instructors here?  Comments?

MSF = Motorcycle Safety Foundation

 

Guys/Gals who run courses in various (all ?) states in the US.  Here in

MA, if you do one of these courses, you don't have to do the
(admittedly,

pathetic) test to get your full license.

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.
