The New 2010 Solo Season will
soon be under way.
What is Solo? "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. 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!" - SCCA 2009
The 2010 schedule is available here.
The Fort Wayne Region SCCA is expanding and growing every month. The Solo program is looking for help in all areas. Event Chairs and Safety Stewards are needed for some of the events. We are also looking for help in Registration. Your help assignment is over before you race. You could help in the Scoring Van, which is nice when the weather is not. It is a great way to get started in racing! Be a part of the action, be a participating member.
