No specialty equipment is needed to run in a Solo II event. Drivers are required to wear a properly certified helmet during runs, and Misery Bay provides a loaner helmet for drivers who do not own one. Aside from the enjoyment of grassroots motorsports, all participants in Solo II events benefit from gaining invaluable driving experience which can help then deal with potentially dangerous situations on the road. In a friendly, competitive and controlled environment, Solo II drivers develop a sense of timing, split second judgement, and the rare opportunity to learn how their vehicles feel at the limit of control. This knowledge becomes an instinctive reaction in real life situations on the street.
Autocross events run all day with a scheduled lunch break.
