About this event
Event Description
South Carolina Region SCCA is proud to host the SoloPro Driving School, an intensive one-day autocross school with professional, hands-on instruction. Students at this event will have a choice between SoloPro's "Intro" school and "Comp" school, so whether you are a novice, a casual autocrosser, or a serious enthusiast who wants to learn how to be competitive at the highest level, this school will have something to suit your needs. Multi-time Solo National Championship winners Jinx Jordan and Tim Aro, and their team of instructors will work with you to ensure you are getting the full potential from your car. Expect 5-6 times the amount of seat time as a normal autocross - this school will give you a year's worth or experience and instruction in a single weekend!
Which School Should I Choose? (Intro or Comp)
Intro
The basic fundamentals are addressed in the Intro class. This class is specially designed to cover the most important components of sound autocrossing techniques and strategies. All students will receive personal instruction from the opening bell until the last lap of the day. Covered in the Intro class are:
- course walking strategies
- timed runs
- ergonomic considerations
- driving mechanics - the hands, feet, and head
- an introduction to the psychology of driving and other human factors
Whether you are a first time driver or a seasoned veteran, working on the fundamentals of driving is critical to success. The Intro class is arguably the most important class in our line-up.
Comp
The Comp class re-emphasizes the basic fundamentals learned in the Intro course while introducing some strategies which will take your driving to the next plateau:
- Reinforce basic fundamentals
- Multiple course configurations
- Begin pushing the limits of you and your car
- Advanced driving techniques and strategies
- Advanced psychological/mental concepts and strategies
- Learn to compete - competition preparation
In the Comp class you'll understand and learn how to maximize your car's potential. Advanced concepts, driving techniques, and car control skills will be emphasized throughout the day. Students will test themselves on several challenging course configurations during the day while receiving one-on-one personalized guidance the entire time. It's like having your own personal autocross coach instructing you all the way to the top! Beat the instructors times and you may be rewarded with a prize on the podium at the conclusion of the day.
