National Tour Pro Solo, Packwood WA this weekend:)
This is a really fun event, drag race start, tree and all, mirror courses, run one then trade sides and run other, best average wins the elimination round
Finally will have race tires on, 245/45/17 Kumho V710, very very sticky
Roll cage will be installed, not something done in most autocross cars due to added weight but I have other plans for the car where it will be required;)
It will add weight, bad for handling, it willl stiffen the chassis, good for handling, it could be a bit of a trade off.
This is a full custom welded in cage, not a minimum spec bolted in unit that will not quality for all out wheel to wheel racing, this is the real deal
It will have removeable harness and crossbars for use of the back seat on the rare occasions we will need one. And it will have a removeble X brace for the back as well, we can put the race tires in the back seat area that way, haul passengers when needed, etc. And it will have a back seat harness bar that doubles as a C pillar brace which most cars just do not need but it will provide some strutural effect since we run on race tires and will be stressing the car far more than most will do with thier tC.

I second that. Pro solos are more fun than nationals or regionals. The challenge rounds are great for spectators as well. We just had a pro here in Wash. DC and there was a huge turnout-239 entries.
Pro solo is far more fun than drag racing or autocross, best of both combined. I have only ran one event, a practice day and was hooked. I just hope there are more events in the future.
I will be relocated to Utah when the even is there as well but I have so many other commitments, big shindig at my sisters house(bands, food, at least a few hundred guests) some of my familiy will be flying in, kind of hard to go to the other side of the state and back in time to do it all
