SCCA.COM lookup SOLOII competitions. Good place to learn without crashing into walls,cones only.

 

Sunriders has an autocross on 11/15 in St.Pete. It's a good place to start as the courses are fairly low speed and lined so they're easier to follow. Very low key events as it's more "for fun" than competitive. www.sunridersautocross.com

 

What Brian said. Come on out. We'll let you watch, ride with other drivers, and/or enter in your own car.

If you're under 18, you'll need to bring a parent/guardian with you to sign the insurance waiver.

We promise you'll have fun!

 

read the stickies at the top of the autox forum.

 

thanks, i read the solo2 handbook and just trying to keep it all straight in my head now i guess all i need is some places to come check it out. it you guys could give me directions to the one in st. peet i'll come check it out definatly. thanks again guys

 

The SPCC location that the SunRiders use is at 3200 34th St South in St Petersburg. Look that up on MapQuest and the following will make more sense.

It isn't too hard to find if you've not been there. You actually have to turn off of US19 (34th St) at 32nd or 36th Ave (there's a light at 32nd) and go East to 32nd St. The training pad is at the South end of 32nd St. You'll see us there.

 

thank you! i'm sure i'll be there...if there is any thing else i should know my email is dlsoccerstudd1@aol.com as well as my instant messange. in the mean time i'll read up and post any new questions i can think of. thanks again

I'll be at Moroso this Sunday and Sebring next month. You're welcome to come along for a few laps.

Sebring has schools several times each year. The most affordable are the ones where you use your own car and an instructor rides with you. Cost is around $250. Contact www.PanozRacing.com

If you're 21 you can join www.SAFEMotorsports.com and get the most track time for your money of any club around.
