Event Check-In:

Competitors must be prepared to present their valid driver’s license, and may be required to provide a valid SCCA Membership Card or proof of Weekend Membership purchased for the weekend when checking in or registering at the event venue.

 

Run Procedure/Schedule:

We will traditionally have two sessions of competition, a morning session and an afternoon session, with course changes between sessions. Certain events may also have a night session with a test & tune session in the morning. Competitors will be separated into four run groups. Run groups will be composed of complete car classes and to have roughly the same number of drivers.

 

Work Assignments:

All competitors are required to work during the event. If you are not running, you are working your assignment. You will receive a work assignment during the drivers meeting. Failure to fulfill your work assignment will result in disqualification from the event and potentially future events as well.

 

Technical Inspection and Helmets:

Competitor vehicles will be inspected to verify that they are in proper working order and safe for competition use. Items to be inspected may include but are not limited to:

•            compliant numbers

•            seat belts

•            seats

•            brakes

•            wheel bearings

•            ball joints

Vehicles with major fluid leaks will not be permitted. Helmets must be Snell 2005 or newer (M2005 or SA2005) or equivalent. Loaner helmets may be available. A tech inspector, event chairperson, or RallyCross director reserves the right to refuse any that does not meet these requirements. Appropriate tires (I.E. winter tires with sufficient tread for snowy/muddy events) are strongly recommended for all competition vehicles.

 

Vehicle Restrictions:

Competitor vehicles must be at least as wide as they are tall. The vehicle’s width is determined by measuring the distance between the outermost portion of each tire. The width must be greater than height measured to top of roof on both axles. Vehicles that appear to pose a rollover risk may be disqualified at the discretion of a safety steward, event chairperson, or program director. Midsize or larger pickup trucks, SUVs, CUVs and Jeep Wranglers are not permitted for competition. Compact pickup trucks and small/compact SUVs/CUVs will be permitted subject to approval by a tech inspector, event chairman and RallyCross director. Permitted trucks, CUVs and SUVs must be stock ride height or lower. Studded tires (including tires with DOT studs) are not permitted.

Two-Driver Cars:

Two-driver cars will take their runs in the following order: 1st driver takes half of their runs, followed by 2nd driver taking all of their runs, followed by the 1st driver taking the remainder of their runs.

 

Car Numbers:

Competitors will choose a one, two or, three-digit number at registration. Numbers are to be clearly displayed on each side of the car. Compliant numbers must be applied to receive a tech sticker. Numbers should be at least 8” high and of a contrasting color. Class letterings are also recommended and should be approximately 4” high and of a contrasting color. 2- driver cars should have a fast and effective method for changing numbers.

Timing & Scoring and Awards:

In addition to the traditional RallyCross Classses, there will be a dedicated “944” class

During Competition Runs, each car will be timed on course and times will be logged.  Per the RallyCross Rules, a two second penalty will be assessed for any cone that is upset and a ten second penalty will be assessed for missing a gate.  Competitors will each have an opportunity to make a minimum of four runs on each course configuration or competition segment.  The top three runs per configuration will be added together into a cumulative score for the segment.  At the end of the day, the cumulative score for each segment will be added together to create a total score.  Medals will be awarded to the top competitors in each Class.
