This is our Locally run National event, also the best in the county!
2011 El Toro ProSolo
El Toro Airfield
Site Address: El Toro* 4000 Marine Way*Irvine, CA 92618 * El Toro site directions.pdf
Entry Cap: 230
Site Restrictions: No camping, No Alcohol
Sound Policy: Per Appendix I of the 2011 Solo Rules - Competitors that receive a reading of 100 db @ 50 feet or higher will be considered noncompliant.
Staff Hotel: La Quinta Inn* 14972 Sand Canyon*Irvine, CA 92618*949-551-0909
Bottom Line: 34% of the 2010 ProSolo Class Champions earned a portion of their points at the El Toro Pro. If you want to compete against the best drivers in the west, on a top-level course and surface, this is the event.
The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo combines the excitement of drag racing and the skill of Solo on side-by-side, mirror image autocross courses. Lining up at the familiar "Christmas Tree" start, drivers compete heads up in various classes by combining their fastest times from each course. After class competition is completed, all ProSolo events feature the top drivers from each class, competing heat-to-head in a variety of single-elimination, handicapped challenges. The Gumout Super Challenge determines the Top Eliminator fro the event, the Ladies Challenge draws from the two Ladies classes, the Honda Tuner Challenge draws from the six "Street" classes, and the Bonus Challenge is for those who have not qualified for one of the other challenges.
Two At A Time - The ProSolo National Series provides National level competition is a series structure using all of the regular national solo classes. Entrants must be SCCA members; weekend memberships will be accepted for the series but not for the Finale. There are two Championships up for grabs in the ProSolo National Series, the Class Cup, where series points are scored based on the best two finishes of the first three events in class plus the championship Finale and the Challenge Cup, which counts the best two challenge finishes of the first three events in challenge competition plus the ProSolo Finale challenge finish.
The ProSolo National Series Championship provides opportunities and excitement for every level of Solo competitor. From the casual competitor that wants the thrill of "racing" against their buddy from a drag start, to the national level competitor wanting to run a limited series, to the accomplished competitor looking for the ultimate "Challenge". The ProSolo National Series Championship has something for every soloist!

That could be problematic. However.... AM is not a pro class.. but can you sign up for AM anyway?KJ Christopher wrote:AM isn't a class to select at the Pro.

Have the Event chair call Nancy Downing and have her add SK1 and SK2 to the class list.

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10
I already emailed back and forth with Nancy about this issue, she said sign up for AM, which is possible for the Tour, but she was never really clear what to do about the Pro. All she said was that I'm 'all set'. I signed up in CS for the Tour, and that's where I still am. You can't change your registration on MSR once you register either.Keith Brown wrote:Have the Event chair call Nancy Downing and have her add SK1 and SK2 to the class list.

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10
These are all simple options in MSR. You can add any classes you want (although they don't actually understand the concept of PAXed classes and how they should be set up, but it can be done) and letting entrants edit their registration is an option the EventMaster sets.Jeff Stuart wrote:I already emailed back and forth with Nancy about this issue, she said sign up for AM, which is possible for the Tour, but she was never really clear what to do about the Pro.

I spoke to Cindy Jensen regardint the SK1 and SK2 classes for the Pro...
Please sign up in AM ( R1 ) ... Just indicate in the note section that you are running SK and what base class.

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10
So I've spend the last hour trying to figure out what class I would register in to no avail.
I read the rules:
http://www.scca.org/documents/2011%20Te ... 0Rules.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but this is confusing as all hell when you have a customized car. I end up flipping back and forth between classes and invariably finding some rule I don't fit in (built this car for fun, not to compete) I think I might be XP but that doesn't appears to be offered. Most of my friends with similarly prepped cars are in SSM however, I have an engine swap. CST? No wait, that's regional only. :mrt:
I give up. I'm going to be a newb and ask for help.
1990 Mazda RX7 (started life as n/a if that matters)
Chevy LS1 swap (5.7L), heads and cam
DIY big brakes
Widebody
Full interior: A/C, radio, etc
Fixed buckets and 4 point harnesses (can hook up the 5th point if need be)
4 point roll bar w/ swing out door beams
Adavan AD08 street tires (180 tread wear), 295/30r18 all around
Wing (maybe, it hangs off the rear bumper)
Front lip
Coilovers
Custom swaybar
Fully registered and driven on the street
Forgive me for being frustrated but in this age of all things internet it blows my mind that we don't have a simple check list where I enter my basic specs and it spits out a class for me... Any chance I missed something obvious?

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10
Joel, swapping the engine puts you in XP or a modified class, over 2.0l is EM. So look up the Prepared (Section 17) rules and then go to App. A for the weight and other requirements for XP. The same follows for the Modified classes, Section 18, Appendix A for the weight and other requirements.
Both are in R1 for the ProSolo....

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10
Joel,
There's a proposal out right now to allow cross-make engine swaps in Street Modified, beginning in 2012. If you have an opinion on that, please write the SEB at http://www.sebscca.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Other than your wing being behind the rear bumper, the mods you listed sound SM-legal.
