Autocross

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.

Want to know what class your car would compete in. Different clubs use different classes and rules but most use the SCCA car classes. The SCCA also has a link that shows the updates to their rules. You can also find some of the new rules and class information at Jerry Mouton site. There are some new classes and they are called Street Touring and Street Modified so be sure to check that site also.
