Hey Garet! It was a pleasure meeting you and Owen this weekend. Just to be clear on your helmet: Your helmet must meet our specifications. Whatever you get, it must have one of these stickers or labels on the inside: https://www.scca.com/downloads/39398-2018-solo-helmet-cert-decals "DOT" p...

EDIT (#5):

Chad Ryker is our Tech Chief for the weekend! (will there be donuts in tech? )
Kevin Pao is Gate.
Eric Clements is doing Course Designer.
SSS role will be Tom Tanquary (with Mike Nakata)

This should be a "sticky". This thread may be a bit outdated. We currently allow passengers on competition runs with no penalty. Bring a friend. Bring Tom Berry. It doesn't matter anymore. Our general sentiment is that locally we do want to keep the "fun factor" up as high as po...

Our Sunday novice program is a little more structured than our Saturday stuff. That being said, we have a small team working on a more formalized Saturday program as well. At a minimum, I've been asking the newbies to stay after the Saturday morning driver's meetings and I've been trying to get them...

Hey Owen, If you want to get your feet wet this weekend, sign up for Sunday's event (as Rick said, Saturday is sold out). We have a novice course walk (usually around 8:00 am) hosted by Leonard Cachola (our humble Novice Coordinator). We also have dedicated Instructor lanes where you can have one of...

Hi Ernesto In order for your nephew to be able to ride in a car, you would need to get both of his parents to sign: https://dk1xgl0d43mu1.cloudfront.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/014/420/SCCA_Minor_CA_Notary_1068_09_15.pdf?1461713670 That waiver would also need to be notarized and in color also...

I don't know that there's any preferred water sprayer brand, but the metal stem is a good call. You'll have to decide between a 1 Gal and a 2 Gal sprayer. A one gallon sprayer is perfectly adequate for 95% of events (and much lighter, etc.). But, your car has wider tires, so on hot practice days in ...

First of all, passengers (over 12) are welcome any time, even on your competition runs. For adult passengers, a passenger wristband (sign our passenger book and get a wrist band) is all that is required. For a minor (12-18) to ride in a car, you'll need to have a minor waiver completed and signed by...

Although the discussion has wandered quite a bit from the initial topic question, I've got an opinion to throw into the side discussions....I'm not a fan of segmenting the novices off from the pack. While I get the fact that there are times that novices create small issues for the veteran crowd, I d...

Matthew Gonzalez would like to do both days.

To specifically answer your question: Check out the cars on our http://www.solo2.com web site for photos. You'll see some of the many ways you can approach numbers. The rules say minimum 8" tall for the numbers and 4" tall for the class. You can order nice numbers online or from a local si...

Danielle has a plastic car....magnets aren't an option!

Thanks Neelu! You're it.

OK....official reply from Seb:

These are the positions required for sanction.
Event Chair
SSS-requires license
Youth steward-requires license
Gate chief

Perhaps I can rattle Kevin's cage and we'll have this covered!

From the SoloMatters FB post: ONLINE Solo Safety Steward Class: December 13th This Solo Safety Steward (SSS) online class is the first formal step to become an SCCA-licensed SSS. This can also be used to renew or update your 3-year SSS/SSI license. The overall purpose is so we can continue having fu...

I don't know if it's too late for this....but Kevin just shared it with me, and I thought I'd try and get the word out: There is an online Solo Safety Steward Class on December 13th. It's at 9:00PM PST (it's geared toward Hawaii region's timezone). If joining the SSS team sounds interesting to you, ...

FYI: Unfortunately, tires will probably be your biggest expense autocrossing. And, as you know, Corvette tires aren't cheap! But that being said, you'll be able to use your tires a heck of a lot more than 3 or 4 events. As Rick said, the junk on your tires is OPR and nothing to be concerned about. Y...

So glad to hear you had a good time and welcome to the club! It was great to see you taking advantage the ride-along opportunities and getting instruction....some amazing drivers in our group....great folks to learn from!

Hope to see you out there at our January event!

Email set to Seb to make sure we have a clear answer on requirements.....I'll report back.

Hey Matt, The doc you want is here: https://dk1xgl0d43mu1.cloudfront.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/037/724/2017-8-25-appendix-A-automobile-classes.pdf Search for M2 and you'll find it in B Street (page 145, under BMW heading). "M2 (except Performance Edition ZL9) (2016-17)" If Laura's ...

I can SSS. If anyone wants to take Sunday SSS, please let me know. Stanley expressed interest in splitting SSS for January when I talked to him at the last event. I don't know if he's on the forums or not (I've never seen him post here), but I can reach out to him about doing Sunday only if you'd l...

I can EM if it's open. Or tech. Or whatever!

I'd be happy to be the EM of record if you need to put a name down. And I'm typically happy to do the gig if we need someone.

Check our calendar for events. It's going to be on 1/13-14. Sorry Randy I know you are anxious.

Well....I guess I would have felt a bit silly racing around the lot all by myself....

I think I saw the Feb dates on our calendar...duh! Ignore me over here!

Hello Pasi and welcome! Our first event is the weekend of January 13/14th (updated!) 2018 at Auto Club Speedway. Keep an eye on our registration page ( http://solo2.motorsportreg.com/ ) and sign up when it goes live (probably in a week or two). So what kind of car are you bringing out? We'll make su...
