bmwohio Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 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. So, you basically have 6 chances on each side to get your fastest run. This is the final runs on Sunday (which are always the fastest) and this is from beginning to end. This was my 2nd National Event ever with a DEEP class of 21 drivers in my class (STX). I was able to pull out a 3rd Place trophy spot with some of the most Nationally Competitive Drivers in this country for this class, including at least 3 National Champions. To put this into perspective, some guys try for years just to get a trophy spot and I did it in a borrowed car at my 2nd 'National' event ever. Enjoy the action!!

Mallard Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice work! ProSolo is awesome. A friend of mine has been running Nationals (not sure if he's running ProSolo or just the regular class) in his gutted, stripped, Solstice with the windshield cut off.
