Same thing as Time-Attack. This is a 2 mile roadcoarse, cars are timed individually but spaced out 12-15 seconds or so.

Yeah, it's about the most fun you can have without racing wheel-to-wheel. The long straight at Blackhawk is good to get up to 100-120 mph depending on car and conditions.

You're welcome to chill at my place Sunday night if you'd like to tag along. Best bet is to be to the track by 7:00-7:30 am if you don't want to be in the tech line forever.

is this similar to a Solo I, or solo sprint? It sounds like it is one lap on the track, timed. No other cars, no cones?

Sounds similiar from your description. The cars are spaced out so there are usually 3 or 4 on the track, it's an actual race track, so cones aren't used at all. The one lap is done with a little bit of starting space before the start/finish line to get some momentum going.
