SASCA
Solo II events (also known as autocrosses)
are an all forward motion driving skill contest. Each driver is individually timed to the thousandth of a second, over a short,
miniature road course clearly defined using traffic cones. Cars compete one at a time, hence the name "Solo", in
a class with similar cars. Solo II emphasizes driver skill and vehicle handling rather than just speed. The corners
are tight, and there are lots of them, so the driving is exciting and challenging. Solo II speeds do not exceed those normally
encountered in highway driving. For more information check out SASCA website www.sasca.org. Virgil T. Blossom Athletic
Center (12002 Jones Maltsberger Road) north of the SA Internat'l Airport. RSVPs not required. |
