Extractions: Solo II is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo II events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip. While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn! T.C. Kline, a well-known driver and car builder with over 20 years of autocrossing and road racing (both club and pro) experience, shared the following with us when asked about Solo II. He made three statements that sum up his beliefs about it; the first one was, "Autocrossing stands on its own as a viable form of racing it doesnt need to exist as an entry-level sport that leads to something else." His second statement was an astute observation based on his years of involvement with a variety of racing venues. He said, "Autocrossers always make good road racers, but road racers do not always make good autocrossers." This statement was supported by the third concept he shared, which was, "I consider Solo to be, arguably, the best place to learn car control." (continued)

Extractions: Email me at fticobraman@msn.com in the meantime. On 08/07/98 I purchased my new pride and joy. The Kelmark is a VW based kitcar. My Kelmark is sitting on 72'chassis. The motor and transmission is VW but the engine has been rebuild. Carburation is still the solex variety but it does the work. The interior has fresh carpet and new seatcovers. The dashboard consists of a full complement of VDO Jet Cockpit style gauges. On the outside we have a fairly new coat of alpine white paint. Also installed a new set of air shocks in the back for that smoother ride and regular gas ones in the front. The orginals were pretty much shot. As for the rubber we have a set of Firestones S/S 235/60R15 up front and 275/60R15 in the rear. Had to replace the gas tank in September. What a job! Had to loosen the whole front end to get enough clearance for removal. 07/02/99 Time came for some new tires Now I have a set of BFGoodridge TA's in still the same sizes as previous. 10/04/00 My engine performance is going down hill. Upon checking my compression on the #3 cylinder is low. Time to remove the engine and give it a close inspection.

Extractions: Autocross is a form of motorsport that anybody, in any type of well maintained car, can participate in. It is an ideal way to get a taste of motorsports competiton, or just improve your driving skills and have fun. It can be as serious as you want to make it, though, like any form of racing. Autocross events are generally held in parking lots or other large, open asphalt or concrete areas. A race course is laid out using orange traffic cones. The course is only ever used for a single event, the next autocross that you attend will have a different course, and different challenges. Cars drive through the course one at a time, competing against the clock for the fastest time. A competitor gets only a limited number of runs on the course, usually 3 or 4. No one is allowed a "practice run" through the course, though everyone is allowed to walk the course before the competition runs start in order to try and determine the best approach to that course. Learning how to best approach a course that no one has ever seen before is a key skill in autocross. The runs typically only last 45-60 seconds, and the speeds do not often exceed 55 mph (most of the time you'll be going 30-45), but it may be the most intense 45-60 seconds you've ever experienced in a car. If you don't believe me, ask for a ride with one of the fast guys (or ladies) at your next autocross. Most people are

With the impending appearance of an Official SCCA Web Page complex, it was time for me to move on, and these pages are the result. Most of what was good in the old Unofficial SCCA Pages will live on here, and the popular and useful Race Track pages are a part of this setup too.

What Is An Autocross / Solo II?
Introduction. An autocross is a skill driving event in which one car at a time negotiatesa prescribed course, using traffic cones to define a variety of turns.
http://www.ner.org/soloII/whatis.html

Extractions: An autocross is a skill driving event in which one car at a time negotiates a prescribed course, using traffic cones to define a variety of turns. The sites are usually laid out on huge, open parking lots, or on sections of airport runways. The course is set up so that you are operating in lower gears, with a top speed of no more than 60 mph or so, depending on the car. The average time of a run on the course is approximately one minute, plus a penalty of two seconds for each rubber cone (pylon) hit. During each run you operate your car at it's limit of acceleration, turning, and braking...and yours. You maintain complete control of your car while maneuvering through the course in the lowest possible time. While driving on the street, the time span of most emergencies is only a few seconds. Thus the experience of maintaining control becomes a valuable training session. You will develop a sense of timing, judgment, and ability to interpret your vehicle's handling characteristics - at safe speeds and in a safe place. Your experiences at an autocross will enhance your driving ability on the street. The events are open to any make of car, from an economy commuter car to racing only formula cars and racing Karts. NER/SCCA has 30+ classes for autocross competition: 9 stock (few changes from what the dealer sells), 5 street prepared (more changes allowed), 6 prepared (significant preparation allowed, usually running on racing tires), 5 modified (nearly unlimited modification), 3 street touring, 2 street modified, and the kart classes. Also, there are four ladies classes. For newcomers to the sport, there are two novice classes available.
