Guest Coverage: El Paso Solo Championship

Mar 28, 2011

My mindset is still somewhat performance driving oriented this morning after spending the day out on the track yesterday for the first time (more on that later this week) so I figured I would roll with it and post some photos from March 6th – 1st Solo Championship in El Paso Texas submitted by reader Aaron R. Jackson.

What he sent through is just a small sampling of the cars that came out but nonetheless it shows that the auto cross community in Texas is not only thriving but also encompasses a variety of different cars.

I think an auto-x event is certainly next on my list of to dos this year, cash pending of course.

solo_champ_2 — Clint Gessler & Korey Gessler's S2000, Husband wife team

solo_champ_3 — David Pike's 2010 Black Mini Cooper S

solo_champ_5 — Bob Wilkinson's 2005 Blue Mazda Miata, really nice looking for a later model

solo_champ_6 — Bill Walker's 1974 Silver/Blue Porsche 911, so sick.

solo_champ_7 — Brian Burghart's 2006 Honda S2000

solo_champ_8 — Philip Becker - 2006 Black Chevy Corvette Z06, I hear these do exactly what you want them do when driving

solo_champ_9 — Greg Nemcek's black Miata

solo_champ_10 — William Jacobs drive this FD on Hoosiers

solo_champ_11 — Duncan Del Toro's 06 Evo

solo_champ_16 — Group shot of some of the field

solo_champ_15 — Kart ripping around the track, is that a helmet mohawk?

solo_champ_12 — Wow, good to see one of these older Civic's still kicking

Thanks a lot Aaron for sending in the pictures.

If anyone else has some cool event photos they would like posted feel free to send me an email at [email protected]

Any idea how wide those slicks are on Greg Nemcek’s black Miata?

@Joe I asked Aaron we will see if he pops by

@Ollie Not sure about the rally scene here to be honest. I know one happens not too far from me in the winter.

My 3 will probably stay the same but I will keep a track worthy set of wheels around… next car might be built a little different, whatever it may be.

From what I was told we have the bigest course this side of the Mississippi. The last race I race (march 20th) I reset my oddometer and the track that time was almost a mile, 0.7mi.
