Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) SOLO Autocross
Sunday, July 24 at 8am
Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) presents SOLO Autocross on the north end of PBIR’s road course. 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. 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. Gates open at 9am and on-track activity runs from 9pm to 5pm. Advanced ticket sales only - participant tickets are $35 and available at www.dlbracing.com/default.aspx. Spectators are free.
