Default THE LEARNING CURVE Autocross School 2010

The Chicago Region of the Sports Car Club of America's Solo Program is hosting a 2 day driving school on Saturday April 10 and Sunday April 11 at Route 66 Raceway, Joliet, IL.


What is Solo?

A fun, inexpensive and safe way of testing your driving ability and car performance. Solo events are a form of automotive competition in which one car at a time negotiates a prescribed course in the shortest possible time. The events are open to anyone who has a sports car, compact or small sedan. The only requirements to compete are a valid state driver's license and a car which will pass a safety technical inspection. Drivers compete in numerous car classes for stock street cars, modified street cars, race prepared cars and modified race cars.

THE LEARNING CURVE
Chicago Region Solo drivers school is an excellent way to learn about and become involved in Solo events. It is a two-part school that consists of a classroom session and a day and a half of on track instruction. Instruction will be provided by experienced, award winning drivers (many with National Championship credentials). Because the entry is limited to only 100 students, there will be a very favorable student/teacher ratio allowing for maximum driving time and personal instruction. The school is for novice drivers with less than one year or no solo experience. Students must attend both days.

When: Saturday April 10 Sunday April 11
8:00am - 5:00pm 8:00am - 5:00pm
Where: Route 66 Raceway, Joliet, IL
How: Return the entry form with the $120 registration fee payable to Chicago Region, SCCA, no later than March 27, 2009 to: Jennifer Liccardi - 2911 Vimy Ridge Drive, Joliet, IL 60435 (815) 609-9005.

NEED MORE INFORMATION call: Ed Locke (630) 853-2144

I am waiting to confirm no family commitments and the weather. So I will wait for the last minute. The last day to sign up seems to have changed to April 3 by the web site.

Default We did it

Tim and I went to the autocross school and it was a great day. Check out MY FIRST U-Tube video of my last run. Both Tim and I were in the 64 second area.

This is an event more of the WCCC group should try, just for fun.

Todd our instructor said if we get 5 Cobras to run in autocross they will set up our own class and we run against each other.

The next link will take you to ffcobra.com and a post Todd started with more video of Todd and Tim's run.

Note, Todd did a 52.5 second run. His car is very quick.
