Saturday evening plans: Outline discuss points to follow
1. A FRIEND of Rosco and Michelle will be supplying enough pulled pork for around 50 guests.
2. This will be pot-luck/donation style (honor system) setup. Meaning, bring a dish or leave a donation and enjoy the evening.
3. The museum closes at 4PM. Our event is set to start at that time with food ready 30-45mins to follow.
4. The museum does not have power. Bring a generator if you are staying the night.
5. We are staying in the parking lot, this is not setup like a camp site. So if you RV, tent, or sleep in a car - come prepared like you are parking at Walmart.
6. Indy region is not bring their trailer last I heard. So movie night would have to be someone in our club with a projector, trailer, and dvd player to put such a thing on. I do not have the items to do this, but if someone does and wants to, please pass the word to me and I will update the event.
7. Adult drinks are allowed at this venue (bases off past events)
8. Space is first come first served. Unless Michelle is camping out, Rosco has reserved parking spot.
If you want to just come out and work a corner, work the bus, work starter, hangout at the gate - please let me know in the comments or send me an email.
If you want to sponsor something to this event, please send me a note at solo@fwscca.com

For Minor Competitors, BOTH parents (or legal guardians) MUST sign a Minor Liability Waiver before the minor may be allowed to compete. Proof of full legal custody is required for single-parent households.

Copies of the Minor Liability Waiver are available before events upon request from the Solo Chairman.
2. 4 Wheel Drive or High Center of Gravity Vehicles
Due to the increased chance of rollovers, 4 wheel drive vehicles (not AWD) or vehicles with a high center of gravity and a narrow track are not allowed. Examples of excluded vehicles include but are not limited to:
Any vehicle on light truck rated tires.
Any vehicle with a 4-wheel drive transfer case.
Any full size van.
Any mini-van.
Any vehicle with a lift kit.
Any vehicle with a wheelbase exceeding 116 inches.

Examples of vehicles: Suzuki Samurai, Jeep CJ series, Geo Sidekick, Chevy Blazer, Ford Explorer, Dodge Caravan, Honda Odyssey, Ford F150 4WD, Dodge Ram 4WD, Chevy Silverado 4WD
3. Uncompleted Work Assignments
All competitors MUST complete their scheduled work assignment in order to be eligible for event trophies or year-end points. If a competitor does not complete their work assignment during their scheduled time, the competitors scheduled runs will be forfeited and entry fee will not be refunded. If the competitor does not complete their work assignment after completing their scheduled runs, the competitor will be disqualified from the event, will not be eligible for trophies, and will not score any points towards year-end awards. If it is documented that a competitor has skipped work assignments at more than one event during a season, the competitor will be subject to possible exclusion from competing in future events per the Solo Chairman’s discretion.
4. Car numbering and lettering.
Per National rules, numbers must be a minimum of 8" high with a 1.25" stroke. Class letters must be a minimum of 4" high with a 0.75" stroke. They may be made of any durable material that contrasts with the car’s paint. We will allow tape as long as the finished product meets requirements and are on the car before tech occurs. The correct width tape in different colors will be provided at the event for people who don’t bring their own numbers.
“Shoe polish” numbers will not be allowed.
Positioning the numbers on the car’s paint is preferred, but numbers may be placed on the car’s rear-side windows with the following conditions: The numbers/letters must meet size and material requirements (no shoe polish). The window must be adequately tinted so high contrast is maintained. If the tinting allows much light/detail to pass through the window, then the high contrast is lost and won't be allowed. The numbers and letters do not have to be the same color, as long as high contrast is achieved. So, panel numbers that are the correct size, and have high contrast with the panel, can be used with a different class color to maintain contrast with the car color.
5. Helmets
There will be a limited number of loaner helmets available.
Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course:
All helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA2015, SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, SA2000**, M2015, M2010, M2005, M2000**, K2015, K2010, K2005, K98**), SFI standards 31.1, 41.1, 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A or British spec BS6658-85 type A/FR are acceptable.
Formula Junior drivers must use helmets meeting the above, SFI 24.1 (Youth Helmets), Snell CMR2007 (Children’s Motorsports Restricted), or Snell CMS2007 (Children’s Motorsports Standard) specifications.
For maximum protection, helmets must fit securely and should provide adequate peripheral vision. The chin strap must be securely fastened.
**These helmets will not be eligible after 2016.
6.Car Classifications
