Why Autocross??

..."I consider (autocross) to be, arguably, the best place to learn car control"...
T.C. Kline, a well-known driver and car builder with over 20 years of autocrossing and road racing (both club and pro) experience.

..."The skills you learn and practice here; smooth transitions, enhanced braking, and skid correction, will have an immediate impact on improving the safety and skill of your street driving. Solo II is an excellent way to teach car control to young drivers in a safe environment"...
Kate Hughes, author of Solo II Novice Handbook.

 

8. What is the day's schedule?

  • Plan to arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 am (9:00 & 9:30 am Indiana Time). Arriving after 9 am (10 am Indiana Time) will cause you to rush you when register, prepare your car, and may not allow enough time to walk the track.
  • When you arrive, park your car, register, unload all loose items from your car.
  • Walk the course until the drivers' meeting at 9:30 (10:30 Indiana Time).
  • You will be assigned to one of three run groups, and your schedule will rotate between driving, working (picking up cones), and resting.
  • We don't take a lunch break; you can eat during your rest period.
  • We usually finish the runs by 5:00 (6:00 Indiana Time) and then hand out the awards . There are times when we have unforseeen problems that are out of our control and they cause us to run longer. Sorry, but it happens.
  • LATE FEE:  In order to provide all competitors with as many autocross runs as possible, we have decided to encourage prompt registration. Registrations after 9:15 am (10:15 Indiana Time) will be assessed a $5.00 surcharge. The drivers' meetings will begin at 9:30 am (10:30 Indiana Time) and, for safety reasons, people who miss the drivers' meetings will not be allowed to register.
