Complete Event Details

Welcome to the 2026 MBR SCCA Solo season!

Autocross is a timed event that pits a driver’s skill and a car’s handling ability against the clock. A course is laid out using cones and the goal is to travel from the starting line to the finish in the lowest amount of time. A time penalty is incurred when cones are hit, so precision and control are essential. “Autocross” and “Solo” are used interchangeably – “Solo” is the SCCA’s specific brand of autocross.

Autocross is one of the cheapest, safest and easiest motorsports to participate in. Our fees (listed below) are low, and no special safety gear (such as roll bars, fire suits, etc.) is required except an approved helmet.  You don’t need a “race car” to participate.  Almost any production car is welcome, from showroom stock to heavily modified. Cars only compete against other similar cars depending on  original performance potential and modifications. Cars are never near each other on the course and the speeds are relatively low, yet still incredibly fun.

MBR’s events are held at Lake Erie Speedway. The Speedway is a 3/8th-mile oval track with banked turns and paved infield, and we use all of it.  Oval track racing might not be for everyone, but it’s hard to keep a smile off of your face blasting around the banking and diving off into the infield.
