I'll take that!
ProSolo = A combination of Autocross and Drag Racing. Mirror image courses
where you get to run against people in your own class for 2 heats of 4 runs
on Saturday morning and afternoon and another 4 runs on sunday morning. If
you're quick enough (closest to the class winner), you qualify for the
"Challenge" competition on Sunday afternoon where you will run up against
someone from a different class (usually) with the lights handicapped based
on the class dial-in time such that theoretically you should both finish at
the same time! If you don't qualify for the Challenge, you can put your
name in for the randomly picked "Pathetic Loser Challenge" where you get to
run with your own dial-in time!
Tons of fun, tons of track time, and more exciting one on one competition
than you're used to!!!
Get there on Friday afternoon to do practice starts if you've never seen a
drag christmas tree before.

A couple people who were unsure of running the Pro last year came down to
help out in Atwater last year and promised to run the event this
year! Even if you don't want to run this event, helping out and spectating
on course (pay attention) is really exciting!!! The matchups and the
rivalries are intense! Who will ever forget Scotty "Bob" White vs. Phil
"Corvette Killer" Esra.... it's the stuff legends are made of!!!
And with the rising cost of inflation (and the complete collapse of my
stock options), who can refuse a free entry?!?!?!?!?!?!

Don, count me in!!!! I'll be at the event anyway and not likely to make
the Challenge :) How's that for positive thinking?? :)
