Have you always dreamed of getting into
racing?
"I would if I had enough money",
is your response to that dream. Well, it's time to
come out of dreamland, and into the world of Solosport. Solosport
is a highly accessible and affordable alternative to road racing,
and as a result, it is one of the fastest growing forms
of motor sport in North America.
There are three types of Solosport events
sanctioned by CACC but Autoslalom (also known as Solo II or
Autocross) is the most basic but largest segment of Solosport
events. In fact, autoslalom is second only to drag racing in
amateur participation. Events are held on large paved areas
(parking lots or airport runways). The course is formed
by setting up pylons (traffic cones) to form a miniature
racing circuit. Competitors take turns negotiating the course
as quickly and smoothly as possible without knocking down
pylons. There is no wheel-to-wheel racing or passing since
cars are released on the track one at a time and maintain a
safe distance from each other.
Autoslalom is an excellent way to develop
and hone car control skills. Car control is the important
factor, not the most powerful or most expensive vehicle.
New competitors are eligible for a Novice Autoslalom Licence
and must compete in more than 3 events prior to the current
competition year before being upgraded to a Senior Autoslalom
Licence.
Several clubs offer driving courses
for both new and experienced drivers. Check the Affiliates
page for a list of clubs and their web sites.
The CACC affiliate clubs host a Regional
Championship Series made up of 3 or more events culminating
in a two-day BC Championship event.
The Canadian Autoslalom Championship
(CAC) is held in a different Canadian region each year. The
best drivers in the country travel to the CAC event to
vie for the title of national champion. Competitors from
BC also travel to the US to compete in SCCA Regional Events,
the SCCA ProSolo series, and the SCCA National Championships
in Topeka, Kansas.
