Goal: To avoid any conflicts and to ensure that all competitors and their guests at CPR-SCCA understand the operations of our events. Some of these procedures may be different from other regions. Most importantly our goal is to have fun.

Mid-State Regional Airport: All competitors and non-competitors (General Public; family, friends, guests) must remember that this is an active airport and planes will be coming in and out during the course of the day for refueling or to tie down. This is an airport first and an event site second. Please keep this in mind when delays occur. There are specific areas at the airport that non-competitors and workers are allowed to be in. Please do not wander around the airport. Many buildings and all towers are off limits.

Conduct: We are guests at the airport. Please act accordingly. We have worked hard to secure this site and we don't want to lose it. Please do not exceed the posted speed limits or drive recklessly on any of the roads leading to or from the event site. We also ask you to respect the airport property. While driving on the event site keep speeds at a walking pace. If anyone is deemed to be in violation of our policies they may be asked to leave the site and not return.

Waivers and Wrist Bands: Everyone who enters the area of a CPR event must sign a waiver and get a wrist band. The waiver signature form and wrist bands can be found at or near the registration table. If you cannot find them, please ask any CPR representative.

Registration: Registration is open from 8:00am to 9:30am. Competitors must show a valid drivers license to compete. If you do not have one, you cannot compete so please bring it with you. If you are new and have any questions, the people working registration can direct you to another member that can help you. They are very busy and often do not have the time to answer many questions.

Tech. Inspection: Tech inspections start at 8:00am and end at 9:30am. All vehicles competing must go through Tech. Please remove any and all loose items from your car prior to tech (this includes floor mats and wheel covers). Make sure the battery is securely fastened, there are no fluids leaking from the engine, basically the vehicle is in good working condition. Vehicles and Safety equipment must comply with SCCA Safety Regulations.

Drivers Meeting: The driver’s meeting is mandatory for all competitors. If you are not present at the driver’s meeting you cannot compete. Club rules and regulations will be covered during this meeting. The drivers meeting will take place at approximately 9:45am and will be announced shortly before that.

Competition Runs: Competition runs are divided into two or three run groups (heats) depending upon the number of competitors. All competitors must work one heat. If you run and then fail to perform a work assignment, you will be disqualified and your times for the day will not be counted.

Non-Competition Runs: Our region offers non-competition runs at the end of the day, as time and weather permits. The charge is typically $10 for five runs. Non-comp runs take place after all of the competition heats are finished and awards for the day are presented. Only drivers who competed in Competition Runs are allowed to do non-comp runs. Those who wish to do non-comp runs are divided into two heats with the second heat drivers working the course while the first heat drivers run, and then switch for heat two. Participants in non-comp runs are encouraged to stay and help clean up.

Passengers: Passengers are allowed at all events, with one exception: DURING COMPETITION RUNS at The Summer Series Event known as the “Cone Killer Classic”, COMPETITORS MAY NOT BE PASSENGERS regardless of whether the competitor has already completed their competition runs. Infraction of this rule shall be grounds for disqualification of all runs, for both competitors, for the event. Note: Passengers must still meet all passenger requirements as defined in the current year SCCA Solo Rules.

Work Assignments: These are very important, if we don't have workers we don't have an event. When you register for a competition heat you must sign up to work during one of the other competition heats. Typically, your work assignment will be the heat following the heat you run in, with the last heat competitors working the first heat. There will be announcements over the PA system on when workers for a specific heat should report to the timing van. You must take work assignments seriously. The event depends on you for smooth operation. Work assignment will be covered in greater detail at the drivers meetings. Again, if you fail to perform your work assignment you will be disqualified and your times will not count.

Grid: The grid will be clearly marked with cones and spaces will be numbered. When your heat is called to move your cars into grid, please go to the appropriate grid space (ex: car #104 will park in grid space #4). Please return to your space after each run. While in grid you must keep speeds at a walking pace, this is a heavily trafficked area. Only the cars that are running in that specific heat are to be in grid at that time. The Course: The course will be open for walking from 8:00am to 9:30am. The start of the course will be marked with green cones and may be on either side of the terminal. Our region asks that anyone who does not regularly run with our region, walk the course. The area that we have to work with may cause some confusion on course layout. All novice drivers must walk the course. The course will be lined when possible. No race line or part of the course will be through the grass. If all four wheels of your vehicle are in the grass simultaneously, it will be counted as an Off Course (OC) and your run will not count.

Novice Drivers: Our region makes it mandatory for all novice drivers to walk the course as to avoid any confusion on the direction of the course. A novice meeting and walk will run from 9:30 to 9:45. Experienced members will be available throughout the morning to walk along and explain key elements of the course.

Novice Class: This is an optional class for all first time competitors to Solo. To be eligible competitors must be in their first season of Solo competition or have competed in 4 or less events in the prior year and must be running on street tires. Standings for this class will be based on the PAX (an equalizer) of their normal running class. Novice Drive Through (optional): Our region offers this to FIRST TIME competitors to Solo events. This is a slow drive through the course with an experienced driver designated by the club Officers. These take place after the drivers meeting and before the start of competition runs.

Loaner Helmets: These are available to competitors and their passengers if needed. They are typically located near the start of the course. When your run is completed please return the loaner helmet to the designated area. We only have limited numbers and sizes and someone may be waiting for one in order to start their run.
