If you are unfamiliar with autocross...

What is Autocross:

Whether known as Autocross or SCCA Solo II, the skills required to be the fastest car around a pylon marked course are the same as at Texas World Speedway. While the competition puts a premium on driving skills - with the fastest time often decided by a blink of an eye - this low-cost, low risk motorsport gets your adrenaline rushing through your system and makes you feel like you've just set the land speed record. This is what makes SCCA Solo II so attractive and entertaining.

Solo II is a low risk motorsport due to the speed limits placed on it and is low cost because you can use your daily driver - but, believe me, that does not reduce the excitement level in the least. How many of you can say that you wouldn't get a thrill going into a 90 degree corner at 50 mph, holding the gas pedal to the floor until the very last second and then cramming the brakes to just before full lock-up so that you can negotiate the corner? Imagine what it is like weaving back an forth through a series of cones - with your gas pedal foot to the floor - and still keeping the car under control; you finish the run and are leading the competition by .245 of a second . Will the competition catch you or is your lead of 245 thousandths of a second ENOUGH? This is Indeed low cost, low risk motorsports!

Just bring yourself and a mechanically sound car and yes, YOU can successfully compete in your daily driver street car! The Houston Region offers Street tire classes, Women's Classes, Open classes and Novice classes. All of these classes are then broken down into like car types and levels of preparation, so your Stock Mazda will not be in head to head competition with a souped up Mustang Cobra. It is not uncommon to see mom or dad competing against their 16-18 year old son or daughter.

 

I am real interested. Used to solo my crx in Tulsa, OK. Just bought this ms3 and can't wait to see how it does. Anybody else racing speed3s out there?
