Re: [ST] Auto Cross



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.
