| Brief History:
Solo II/Autocross Races hosted by the Cincinnati Region of the Sports
Car Club of America have been
held in
the parking lot of the Ford Plant in Sharonville. Autocross events are low to medium speed auto racing
events; they are often run on parking lots and airport runways,
although street
events and events at Go Kart tracks sometimes take place. Generally a
course
will be defined using traffic cones. One driver at a time negotiates a
course
laid out with the cones, or pylons, testing their skill against the
clock. Time
penalties are charged for disturbing cones. In most regions, the
penalty is 2
seconds per cone, although in some places it may be 1 second. There is
an upper
speed guideline for Solo II which is intended to keep speeds in a
domain that
most drivers might have encountered on the streets and highways; the
fastest
cars at a Solo II should not get much over 70mph. Generally, each
driver takes
three or four runs at an event. A driver is awarded the best time of
all runs taken. |
