A driving skill competition, where you and your car negotiate a course laid out in a parking lot and marked with traffic cones. The lowest time wins, and penalty seconds are added to your score for each cone you knock down. It’s just one car at a time, so there’s little risk of trading paint with other cars. Solo II speeds are relatively low, typically second gear for most cars. The turns come up quickly, though, so don’t be fooled into thinking Solo II is boring. To get a good low time you must be smooth, precise, and quick. The skills you learn in the parking lot will greatly improve your car control, and help make you a safer driver on the street.
If you’ve always been interested in competing, but can’t afford to buy a separate race car, Solo II may be the sport for you. The risk of hurting yourself or your car is much lower than most other motorsports (indeed, much lower than driving to and from the event), and it’s a great place to learn car control skills while having a lot of fun. Cars are classed with other cars of similar performance, and classes are divided into four different preparation levels (from stock to highly modified). You really can “run what ya brung”! |
