Donna Littlejohn stated “These events are a great way to develop your driving skills for competition but also for defensive driving and car control on the  street. We are seeing more and more parents getting their children involved.”

The South Carolina Region will also host a Oyster Roast Social on Saturday evening.

The event is a 2-day weekend in which Saturday is a Solo Novice School (all drivers wishing to try Solo for the first time are welcome at ANY event, but this weekend will allow the opportunity for personalized instruction and extra seat time), and Sunday is a non-points Solo event. Anyone over 16 years of age with a valid U.S. driver’s license (or a younger participant aged 8-15, if driving in the Junior Kart program) is welcome to participate in these events.
