Autocross, or Solo is by definition a non-speed automotive competition event. The terms autocross, slalom, and gymkana are often used to describe the same activity. In Solo competition, one car at a time negotiates a serpentine course, hence the use of the word solo. Finishing position is based upon elapsed time to complete the course, with the lowest score winning. Vehicle agility and handling are emphasized rather than brute power or top speed. The top speed encountered is normally less than legal highway speeds.

Do I need to be a member of the Texas Region Sports Car Club?

The SCCA does require membership in order to participate in Texas Region events. but for non-members a limited weekend-membership program is provided at a slightly higher cost, which can then be applied to a regular membership.

Do I need a Helmet?

Yes, you need a helmet. The club does have a few loaner helmets that are available. All helmets meeting the current or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA, K, or M) or SFI standards 31.1A, 21.2A, 41.1A, or 41.2A are acceptable. Look inside the helmet for a sticker. It will have a Snell Sticker with a year date or certification.

How old do I need to be to compete?

Texas Region SCCA allows any licensed drivers with a valid drivers license and have reached 18 years of age. We also allow children ages 5-17 to compete in Karts that comply with SCCA Solo Rule Book. Drivers under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present at the site the entire day.

Minors must have a SCCA parental waver form signed by both parents or guardians. This form must be printed in color.
