Just what is an AutoCross ?
This is what the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) says it is:
The fastest man or woman wins as you test your driving skills on the track (Solo I) or around the
pylons Solo II also known as Autocross). There are classes for all types of street and race cars and competition is as relaxed
or intense as you wish.
National Champions are crowned each year at the Tire Rack® Solo II Championships in Topeka, Kansas.
There's also the challenging ProSolo series, which features side-by-side competition on mirror image courses and offers
awards to event winners and year-end champions.
