every so often, people forget what solo is about.. and start to create their own definitons of what it is that they do..

so let me remind everyone of what the deal is, by quoting the SCCA rulebook



I.1.4 Solo® Event

A Solo® Event is a non-speed driving skill contest suchas, but not limited to, autocrosses and slaloms. These events are run on shortcourses that emphasize the driver’sability and the car’s handling and agility. Competition licenses are notrequired and hazards to spectators, participants, and property do not exceedthose encountered in normal, legal highway driving. All Solo® events must besanctioned by the SCCA®, Inc. The Solo® Rules are mandatory for use in SCCA®Solo® National Tour and National Championship events and standards set forth inthe Solo® Rules must be adhered to by all SCCA® Regions who organize, sponsor,co-sponsor, or sanction a Solo® Event. While the right to protest in propercases is undoubted, it should be remembered that Solo® events are sportingevents to be conducted in a sportingspirit, that all events areorganized and managed by amateurs who cheerfully give their time and do theirbest, that the competitor may expect some imperfections of the organizers and ofhis fellow competitors, and that, to a reasonable extent, these things are partof the

chances he takesin entering the competition.





I.2.3 Core Values

The decisions of the SEB are based upon three core valuesthat together equate with member value. These core values are as follows:

1. Increased participation and involvement.

2. Providing a variety of classes to satisfy a range ofeconomies and commitments.

3. Evolving rules in a planned manner.


Each topic before the SEB is compared to these core values to ensure an overallpositive effect. It is recognized thatan individual decision may at times result in a disadvantage or increased costto some individual members, but that the decision reached is based on thelong-term benefit for the majority of the members.
