Event requirements

ProSoloWeen!  
 

This event is a deviation from our normal format; we have a ProSolo tree, two courses instead of one, and a drag race start.

The basic format is simple; fastest left side plus fastest right side = scored time, with a special set of indicies for points to accommodate differences resulting in the drag start.  

We plan on doing four runs in the morning, four in the afternoon.   Cones still add two seconds to your run's time, as always. 

The main difference is the Pro tree.  There are several lights, aligned vertically; the right side column of lights is for the driver on the right course, left for left. 

  • The two white lights at the top are staging lights; roll up to the beam until both are illuminated. 
  • The three yellow lights will illuminate for a half second each, top down.
  • After the third yellow goes out, the green light turns on.  This tells the driver to go, AND starts the timer.
  • You want to start moving as soon as the green light below the third yellow illuminates.
  • If you leave too early, the bottom light will turn on.  It is red.  Red is bad.  A red light run is equal to a DNF, but you can still take the run.

 

It is a lot of fun; the tree adds a different kind of anticipation.  The key difference is in the green light - as soon as it turns on, your clock is ticking.  If you sit there for 3 seconds - an eternity and exaggeration - your actual time on course would be X-3.  As a rule, launching the car as the third light is going off tends to result in a decent start, but every car is different. 

This is a very simple overview of what a Pro Solo actually is, but for now, it covers the basics - know the difference in the tree vs the starter saying "whenever you're ready!" and treat it like a normal autocross otherwise, you should be in a good spot!
