| Brief History:
Autocross Races hosted by the Cincinnati Sports Car Club have been
held in
the parking lot of the Swifton Commons Shopping Center. Autocross/Solo
II 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. |
