New Solo Event Format for 2012

Gwen Habenicht · **Posted:** Fri Dec 02, 2011 2:35 pm

In case you didn't get to watch the announcement on goracingtv.com today...

The Evolution Performance Driving School, the number one name in driver's education since 1993 is set to debut a new solo event format for 2012, the Evolution Super Shootout. This two-day event is a hybrid between SCCA's National Tour and Pro Solo formats, and takes a portion of each entry and places it into a prize fund to be distributed to the top 10% of the Sunday Super Shootout winners. This format has Howard Duncan, VP SCCA Rally/Solo, very excited about the possibilities, and we at Evolution look at this as a great opportunity to build the sport, by providing this stepping stone to SCCA National Level Solo.
The Evolution Super Shootout features a four run event where all class winners and 32 of the 64 Super Shootout qualifiers are determined. These top 32 qualifiers are determined from the events overall PAX results, and are then locked into their positions for the Sunday Super Shootout. Once these folks are locked in, the rest of the competitors get a second chance at the Super Shootout with our Last Chance Qualifier. The LCQ allows these remaining competitors two runs to try and position themselves into the top 48 positions in the PAX. Following the LCQ the top four ladies class competitors are brought into the Super Shootout bringing the total number thus far to 52. The remaining 12 Super Shootout positions will be from a random drawing of any that have not made the top 52 spots, bringing the total to 64.
With the Super Shootout field complete, we break the 64 competitors into a four bracket system, with the top 4 qualifiers taking the number one seed in each bracket. The first round of each bracket will allow one warm up run before the money rounds start. The Super Shootout will also run on a PAX system where each pairing will run heads up with the winner advancing to the next round, and the winners of each bracket running for the top spot worth over $2,500 in cash and prizes.
The following is a tentative schedule for the Evolution Super Shootouts:
. April 21-22 ZMax Dragway Concord, NC TSCC CCRSCCA
. May 5-6 Atlanta Motor Speedway Hampton, GA Atlanta Region SCCA
. June 30-July 1 Dover International Raceway Dover, DE Philly SCCA
. Additional Date(s) TBA
Look for more information in the coming weeks at http://www.evoschool.com as well as http://www.facebook/evoschool. We look forward to see you all on course!

Mod classe(s)? I assume PAX of some sort. If so, the "standard PAX" or something different?

Haven't turned loose of my $85 yet but we'll be there. I really like zMax. We haven't had issues with the courses lacking grip. Looking forward to it.
