Brazeau Racing campaigned a 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0L in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) autocross competition events, known as Solo2, at the Regional, Divisional, and National level from 1997 through 2001 in the E-Street Prepared and Street Modified classes.

SCCA Solo2, also known as autocross, has been the grassroots of motorsports activities for more than 30 years.  Competitors run one-at-a-time (hence the term "Solo"), against the clock, through a road course lined by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip.  While top speeds are usually no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience.  Over 1000 SCCA Solo2 events are held across the country at the local shopping center, airport and stadium parking lots or where ever competitors can find a large amount of pavement or concrete to layout their courses.  The sport attracts ordinary sports and sports-type cars used for daily transportation as well as heavily modified vehicles used for racing purposes only.  Several National Solo2 Series offer top level competition from across the country.  The ProSolo Series features two cars on a side-by-side drag-strip start, leading to separate mirror-image courses.  National Tours, Divisional competition and the Solo2 National Championship, which attracts 1200+ drivers each year, round out competition levels for everyone.

Why race a Ford Mustang?  Mustangs are affordable cars that have a significant amount of horsepower from the factory, and with the right combination of aftermarket suspension components it is possible to achieve the performance level of the more expensive cars without spending a fortune.
