That's the gist of it. A couple of corrections: You get 12 runs regardless
of the size of the class, 6 on each side, 4 Saturday morning, 4 Saturday
afternoon, 150 when you are sleeping Saturday night, and 4 Sunday morning.
All the class winners make to the challenge round. The rest of the
challenge round is filled with non-class winners with the smallest margin to
their class winner, up to 32 drivers total. The challenge is Sunday
afternoon and it's a blast.
Darren had an excellent write-up on the format of ProSolo that he sent out
last year. Maybe he can dig it up and send it again.
Did I mention I was the top qualifier for the challenge round in my first
ever ProSolo last year? :) Did I also mention that I choked and hit a cone
on the 3rd round of the challenge? :(
