“Solo is a precision sport, much like, say, archery, riflery or golf. You must be precise and consistent, all the while driving so fast you can barely concentrate.” — Mark Sirota

Solo events (also known as autocrosses) are an all forward motion driving skill contest. Each driver is individually timed to the thousandth of a second, over a short, miniature road course clearly defined using traffic cones. Cars compete one at a time, hence the name “Solo”, in a class with similar cars. An event can be held on any flat paved surface, usually a parking lot, or airport apron or runway.

Solo emphasizes driver skill and vehicle handling rather than just speed. The corners are tight, and there are lots of them, so the driving is exciting and challenging. Solo speeds do not exceed those normally encountered in highway driving.

The skills you learn and practice here; smooth transitions, enhanced braking, and skid correction, will have an immediate impact on improving the safety and skill of your street driving. Solo is an excellent way to teach car control to young drivers in a safe environment.

Solo is also a very social sport, filled with some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. The camaraderie of the drivers is a special part of autocrossing that is profoundly satisfying.
— Solo Novice Handbook

Online Registration for MoHud autocross events is now available on  MoHud.MotorsportReg.com .  Due to the need to organize work assignments and run groups, there is no on-site registration so online registration is mandatory; no morning-of registrants are typically possible. You will still need to show your valid drivers license, either at the waiver station when entering or at the timing tent, as well as have your car tech’d.

MoHud Solo

MoHud’s Solo program typically consists of four to six autocross points events each year. Our seasons typically run from May through September, but depending on site availability it might be different. Points events are always held on Sundays, rain or shine, currently at the former IBM Kingston site, 550 Enterprise Drive, Kingston, NY. This page will help you get up to speed and cone-hunting with us in no time, including general registration and timeline information, what you’ll need to attend an event, schedules, and the latest news.

For more information or any questions you may have, see below contact information for either of MoHud’s solo program co-chairs. Or try the Solo section of the forums.

Registration Information

Typical Event Schedule

7:30 am — Waiver & Registration Check-In open
8:30 am — Course open for walking
9:30 am — Tech closed
10:30 am — Drivers Meeting
10:45 am — First Car Off

Events are typically run with drivers split into two heats or run groups, based on class. One group will run first, while the other group works, and then they switch. Normally you can expect three timed runs in the morning and three in the afternoon — more if we can squeeze them in, so get to your worker assignments. There is no real scheduled break for lunch so brown bag it – there is no time to go off-site to grab something to eat.

4:00 pm onward — end of event

To qualify for the year-end championship, you must have competed in at least three events. Sound rules will be in effect at events. We ask that you please keep the cars as quiet as possible. The speed limit when not on course is a walking speed. Do not speed/squeal tires/make a show when arriving at and leaving from an event.

Number reservations are no longer necessary as they are maintained automatically by MotorsportReg.com.

Fees

SCCA Members — $50 entry fee (each day for multiple event weekends)
Non-Members — $70 ($50 entry fee each day plus $20 weekend membership)

Planning on doing a full season of Solo with MoHud SCCA?  A full membership will be a smart financial investment!  Here’s the math:

  • 6 Solo events x $70 (non-member) = $420 cost for a typical season.
  • 6 Solo events x $50 (member) = $300 cost for a typical season.
  • SCCA membership represents a $120 savings for one year!  Calculating in the cost of an SCCA membership ($90 assumed for a 1 year membership; potential members 24 years old or younger are eligible for cheaper memberships), you still save approximately $30 or more over a non-member.  Other membership benefits also come with an SCCA membership – see SCCA’s Membership page for full details.
