I was just wondering what the difference was between Auto-X and Road Racing. Be gentle with me ko guys?

Can someone please tell me how to post properly. So I dont get that black bubble??

Newb reply:

AutoX, or Solo2, is on a modified track, be it an open lot or around a racetrack, where 'obstacles' are set up which you have to navigate through. The course will have gates that you will have to drive through as well as slaloms. The gates are intended as control measures to keep you on course; missing a gate will reflect as a 'did not finish' (DNF). If you miss a slalom or run over a cone, you will be penalized a certain time value. These gates and slaloms are shaped using pylons.

Road racing is just that. Open, non-restricted racing on a road.

What little I know about Solo2, I know less about road racing. It seems to me that there are probably many road racing organizations; SCCA is just one.

I want to stress that road racing is not racing on a public road (Unless it is closed specifically for that purpose). It is on a road track i.e. Laguna Seca, Sebring, Mid-Ohio

lol I may be a little noobish, but I do know that.

Just making sure, because you would be surprised at what people don't know sometimes. :)
