What is Autocross?
Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Autocross 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. The runs are timed down to a thousanth of a second.
-
DOT-approved helmet if you have one. We have loaner helmets to use if you don't have one. Please return them when you're done with your runs.
-
Water : Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated through the day. We'll have water for sale if you don't have any.
-
​No open toed shoes.
-
Sunscreen, Hats, Umbrellas or whatever you prefer for protection from the sun. Texas summers get toasty, so bring what you need to keep your skin from burning.
-
Wind jacket or rain coat if inclement weather is expected. Texas weather changes throughout the day so it's good to pack these just in case.
-
Tire Gauge : We have an air compressor on site to fill your tires. Bring a tire gauge to check and monitor tire pressures.
-
Tools : Pushing your car to the limits will start to expose weak points. You may need to adjust things that loosen so it's good to have tools to fix things.
-
Quart of Oil : Make sure to check your oil level before heading to the event but bring a spare quart if your car is prone to burning oil.
