Entering Multiple Events
Autocross, PDX and Time Trial participants are welcome to enter the Car Show. Unfortunately, Time Trial and PDX entrants will be unable to participate in Autocross, and vice versa, due to overlapping schedules. If you would like to experience both events, it is possible to purchase a single-day PDX entry and a single-day Autocross entry. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Rules - Autocross
- This event is held under the 2011 SCCA Solo Rules.
- Please review the South Carolina Region Supplemental Rules for IMPORTANT details on event procedures.
- All participants must sign an SCCA Release and Waiver form. Minors (under age 18) must have a Minor Release and Waiver form signed by both parents in order to participate in the event.
Rules - Car Show
- All cars must be registered by 11:00 AM. Judging starts at 12:00 PM and will end at approximately 2:30 PM. If you are participating in the autocross with your show car, the judges will set aside time to view your car when it is not due on the grid.
- Awards will be presented at the end of the day, at the same time as autocross awards. This is a "best of show" event, with one winner per class plus a "Best Overall Subaru" award.
- Judges are not allowed to open any part of any car. Please be there to open or have doors, trunks or hoods opened and ready for judging.
- Except for autocross participants, cars cannot be moved once judging has begun, unless requested by show staff.
Sound Control and Event Conduct
- The sound limit for this event will be 103 dBA at 50 feet from the edge of the course. Cars with open exhausts that have not been checked for sound recently should consider coming prepared to make modifications (in many cases a downturn will help tremendously) in case you exceed the sound limit on your first run. We will not allow any car to continue if it has two consecutive readings over 103 dBA. See the SCR Solo Supplemental Rules for further details.
- Please note that even though our rules already prohibit any kind of reckless behavior, we need to be especially careful this weekend about burnouts, excessive acceleration or noise when leaving the site, and other things that will draw unwanted attention to ourselves. Thanks for understanding!
Number Format
- For single driver, single class cars only one- or two-digit numbers will be allowed (0 - 99). If desired, drivers of the same car but in different classes (i.e., open and ladies) may use the same car number.
- Where there are two drivers in one car, in one class, then the second driver will be 100 plus the first driver's number (i.e., 99 and 199).
