What is Solo (Autocross)?
Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo 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.
What kind of car do I have to have to be able to solo?
Just about any car in good mechanical condition is eligible for SCCAŽ SoloŽ
events. Anything from a Chevrolet Corvette to a Toyota Camry is allowed to run
in Solo. As long as your car passes tech (safety) inspection and is not on the
exclusion list or prone to rollover (mostly SUVs) then your vehicle is probably
available to run.
Can I just come to an event and watch? Is there a fee to pay to watch?
Yes, you can come out and just watch an event. You will be required to sign a
waiver sheet for insurance policy as a guest. There is no fee however to come
out and be a spectator.
Do I need special competition tires?
No. To run at an event, all that is required for tires is that they be in good
condition, with no cord or belts showing or cracks in the sidewall. Tires must
have a measurable tread depth.
