The next closest pro solo is in Farmington N.M. I ain't gonna lie, it is a seven hour drive more or less (I have family there so I go at least twice a year).

I am posting now before registration opens because out of town events always take planning.

However, people will be traveling further me for it. Even though it is novice friendly, with a hole shot school and all, there will be serious national competition there (me, not so much, my co-driver yes). The first time I did a pro-solo run, it took almost fifteen minutes before I started to calm down. It is freakin intense in a really good way.

Here is the description of pro-solo from the SCCA Website:

Take two parts autocross and one part drag racing, mix thoroughly and you get the Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo Series. Drivers face off, side-by-side at a “Christmas Tree” start, before launching themselves down a straightaway and into mirror image autocross courses. Three rounds of class competition gives drivers 12 total runs, 6 on each course. Not only do these runs determine the class winners, it sets the overall qualifying order for the second part of the event which determines the overall winner. The top qualifiers enter into single elimination brackets and run off until only one remains; the Top Eliminator. The Ladies Challenge pits the top Ladies’ qualifiers against one another, while the Gumout Super Challenge features the top 32 Open Class competitors in a winner take all battle. There is even a Bonus Challenge where randomly selected non-qualifying drivers can compete for prizes and bragging rights.

Further info to follow.

Bonus, a very fast run at this year's El Toro pro-solo. This video is good because it captures the back to back nature of the runs.

The OSGiken SoPac Super Regional AutoxChampionship, June 21-23, is open.

This is the biggest socal autox event of the year. Friday is test and tune on a large practice course. As many runs as you want, you buy tickets, and do a work assignment. Friday, a welcome party with homemade food, free t-shirt, and autox championship on Sat and Sun. The championship course is always fast and enormous.

Here is a video of Elliot's course from a few years ago. Check out the famous drunken slaloms about the 1 minute mark

As do I. I need to find a new uppipe ASAP and get it swapped on. Also debating getting my new wing on since INDE is big enough where I should see a difference.

A jl stealthbox has been delivered. Msrp is $599. For those with a system already and want a box

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=870146

The oem audio is still good enough for me since it tunes all the front speakers.
