Printable PDF Version (Includes Rules, Regulations and Supplementals) All Solo events are run under current SCCA National Solo rules with the following amendments. 1.3.2.D specified – Passengers are allowed at all events. Passengers must meet all requirements as defined in the current year SCCA Solo Rules. 3.3 addition – While a car is competing, any and all windows that are adjacent to the driver or a passenger must be fully open or fully closed such that no part of the occupant may come in contact with an exposed edge of the glass. Windows adjacent to an occupant that do not open completely must, therefore, be fully closed, and convertibles running with the top down must have windows adjacent to an occupant fully open. 3.3.4 extended – Any vehicle that requests a 10 minute mechanical delay must inform the grid worker of the nature of the problem, who must in turn inform the Chief of Technical Inspection or another event official appointed by the Chief of Technical Inspection. The Chief of Technical Inspection has the right to re-inspect any vehicle that requests a 10-minute mechanical, but is not required to do so. In the event that a vehicle is damaged, loses parts, or leaks fluids during an event, that car may not begin another run until it has been repaired and deemed safe by the Chief of Technical Inspection or another event official appointed by the Chief of Technical Inspection. 10 minutes are allowed to effect repairs after the car in question is due to make its next run. If repairs cannot be completed in this time, the car will receive a DNF for that run, and may be disqualified for the remainder of the event at the discretion of the Chief of Technical Inspection of another event official appointed by the Chief of Technical Inspection. 3.7 altered – All cars will be provided with an identification card at registration which needs to be attached such that it is visible to the timing vehicle when the car is staged. Permanent numbers and class identifiers do not need to be removed or covered unless they greatly resemble the card provided at registration.

Any changes to the class of a car after the close of registration must be approved by the Event Chair. 4.7 altered – There shall be a Ladies Index Class (LIND). Finishing position is determined by the use of the PAX/RTP multipliers for the current year. Females have the option of running in the Ladies Index Class or the Open Classes.
4.8.C specified - There shall be a Street Tire class for Novices (STN). Entry into (STN) is limited to those entrants who have never participated in a Solo event or have competed in 4 or fewer events in the prior year. All cars running in (STN) must use tires that conform to the current Street Touring rules, while the car will be classed as if the tires were DOT R-compounds. There shall be a Street Tire Index (STI) class. All cars running in (STI) must use tires that conform to the current Street Touring rules. Cars in (STI) will be classed as though they were running DOT R compound tires. Cars that would normally run in Street Touring that run in (STI) shall be classed in their appropriate Street Prepared class. There shall be an Index Class (IND). Finishing position for all classes listed in this section will be determined by the use of the PAX/RTP multiplier for the current year. 4.10 altered – The Event Solo Safety Steward must pre-run the course as needed to test for flow and/or safety. The Event Chair may also pre-run the course as needed. This should be done in a car other than the one which the driver plans to use for competition, but these limitations are waived when no other cars are available and/or changes are made to the course on the day of competition.

Preheating is hereby expanded to include driving faster than a walking pace within ten minutes of placing the car in grid. 7.3 addition – When there is a cancellation of any portion of an event due to weather, no points will be awarded to any driver for that event, and the number of events required to qualify for a series points award will be reduced by one. If the event is cancelled during a heat, only the set of runs fully completed in that heat will be counted in previous heats. For example, if the cancellation occurs during the 4th run in the 2nd heat, then only runs 1-3 will be counted for heats 1 and 2.
