Some Pics from the DC ProSolo
 
Two Z16s taking off on day one. I'm on the right of the picture:

Scariest turn on the course. 65 mph over a drop off, blind into a slalom to the hard side:

The turn into the finish:

GJ Dixon drove the car to 3rd place behind Stewart and Salerno and I finished 9th. Great event that I'd highly recommend to anyone!

I had some guys from my local region there this weekend... Took 1st in CS, 3rd in BSP, and 3rd in STX....

A ton of us going to Peru today for the Solo Tour event.

Any Vette guys on the forum going?

I've got to try prosolo, I can cut a pretty good light at the drags. :D

You would love it. At the Pro Solo's you can even do a small burnout before rolling to the line, great to get the blood pumping.

We'll be headed to the Pro/DoubleX at Atlanta this weekend. It looks like a really cool format.

Stan, report back and let us know what that format was like!

Good luck. :cheers:

SO what exactly is Pro Solo?

TommyBoy72 06-28-2007 02:28 PM

Nice Pics.

I won't be making any Pros or Tours this year. I may go to Nationals, but its looking doubtful. The plan is to be more active nationally again in '08 though.

The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® combines the excitement of drag racing and the skill of Solo on side-by-side, mirror-image autocross courses. Lining up at the familiar “Christmas Tree” start, drivers compete heads-up in various classes by combining their fastest times from each course. After class competition is completed, all ProSolo events feature the top drivers from each class, competing head-to-head in a variety of single- elimination, handicapped Challenges.

In other words, it's a blast. They only hold about 8 of them a year throughout the US and a Finale the weekend before the Nationals in Topeka, KS.
