 Come join the SoloPro crew for their Extreme SOLO Driving School this March 5th at Turner Field. We will be running this event in conjunction with our first TNT event and in preparation for our March 6th Points 1 event the next day. The Extreme class was originally developed several years ago and has since been attracting experienced autocrossers such as National Champions, regional champions, and other experienced drivers looking to squeeze out those last few tenths.  The Extreme is geared toward the advanced student who is willing to put forth the extra effort to reach his or her goals.

In addition to loads of high quality seat time and instruction, a data analysis session is held each day allowing the student to view segment times, braking and acceleration areas, and a detailed analysis of what is working well and what may need some polishing.  If you’re ready for some serious fun, a ton of seat time, and some in-depth quantitative analysis of your driving - the Extreme is for you!

Additionally, those familiar with Milwaukee Region events, we’ve also secured the National Street Tire Challenge. This places emphasis on running all classes on street tires.
