TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 9, 2017) -- The tiered registration process for the 2017 Tire Rack ProSolo® Finale opens August 9 at 3 p.m. CDT. For the Finale, competitors are allowed to enter based on ProSolo points amassed during the 10-event season.
Drivers with 32 or more points are considered “Tier 1” and can register as of August 9 at 3 p.m. CDT. Drivers who have scored points in the same class during at least three events or earned at least 25 points in a class are considered “Tier 2” and can register for the Finale beginning August 16 at 3 p.m. CDT. Competitors who have scored points in the same class at only two or more events are classified as “Tier 3” and can register for the Finale starting August 23 at 3 p.m. Central Time.

The Finale entry cap is set at 300 participants, excluding Formula Junior. Any registrations received after the cap has been reached will be placed on a tiered waiting list.
The Tire Rack ProSolo Finale takes place September 1-3 at Lincoln Airport in Nebraska. During the competition, drivers face off, side-by-side, at a “Christmas Tree” start before launching down a straightaway and into mirror image autocross courses. Three heats of class competition give drivers 12 total runs, six on each course. Like other Solo competitions, runs are timed to 1/1000th of a second and knocking a cone down means a two-second penalty added to a time.
Opening runs determine class rankings and also set the qualifying order for the second part of the event which determines the overall winner. The top qualifiers enter into single-elimination brackets and conduct runoffs until only one driver
