AUTOCROSS IS...In an autocross, a single car is timed while it negotiates a paved course, the object being to establish the lowest possible elapsed time among cars in its class. Cars are classified according to the level of preparation and relative performance,with each car getting three or four attempts to set its best time. In an autocross, only one car at a time is allowed on the course, which is typically set up with pylons on a large, paved parking lot in such a way as to emphasize handling and keep speeds low. These features remove the hazards of wheel to wheel racing and make for a relatively safe sport. The only safety equipment required is a helmet, seat belts, and a car in proper running condition. While there are classes for all types of cars from stock econo-boxes to fully race-prepared formula cars, most cars are stock or slightly modified sporty streetcars. Autocrosses, also known as Solo2 events, tend to be fairly social events with plenty of time between runs to adjust tire pressures, help man thecourse, watch the competition, or just shoot the breeze.
