Details
Each run will be made on a technically designed, but challenging, course defined by orange traffic pylons. Top Speeds are usually kept at 60-70 mph by the fastest or most powerful vehicles and the course can be anywhere between 60 to 80 seconds in duration. The length of each run is usually 8-tenths to 9-tenths of mile.
A 2-second time penalty will be added to a given competitor's individual timed-run for each and every pylon that is hit or taken down during a run.
Everyone will be expected to work & perform their worker duty or task when directed by the Chief of Workers. We are a total volunteer group of workers and racers. No one is allowed to get out of their worker duties unless advance prior arrangements have been made with the Event Chairman via email. Exemptions for worker duty are a family emergency, having to go to work. Otherwise, all other excuses for not performing your worker duty when requested will not be recognized or acknowledged.
Only one rider per vehicle will be allowed to ride as a passenger in a given run provided that they are at least 12-years of age ( and have a signed parental or guardian form filled-out ) and have signed the event wavier form, plus the temporary weekend membership form also.
Loaner helmets will be available at the event or you may use your own helmet provided that it conforms to the 2017 SCCA Solo Rules requirements. There will be SCCA members available to make sure all helmets conform.
Every competitor must have a current and valid drivers license or current and valid drivers permit ( with a signed parental or guardian form filled-out at the time of registration ) and must be prepared to present it at the registration table.
All vehicles must conform to the 2017 SCCA Solo Rules safety inspection. It will consist of making sure that all batteries are properly fastened in place, wheel bearings at all four positions are in good shape, seat belts are in good shape and properly fastened, brake pedal test involving no mushy brake feel or leaks, all lug nuts at each position are in place and properly torqued, all tires may not have any cords or belts showing & are not cracked or split anywhere on the carcass, etc. All coolant, brakes, engine or transmission leaks will be allowed if found to be excessive. All cars must have mufflers and be reasonably quiet during operation.
*We will need everyone's help & cooperation is picking up the course and loading the pylons and all the equipment back into the trailer.
After the course and equipment have been picked up and loaded onto the trailer, we will have a trophy and awards presentation.
We will have three different run groups for this year and trophies will be awarded for each of these three individual categories.
They are as follows:
Rookie Run Group
You are eligible for this group if you are new or a first time competitor to solo racing and/or if you have not competed for 1-full year of solo competition (3 events or less).
Intermediate Run Group
Most drivers will find themselves registering for this category. Drivers of moderate experience, car preparation, or skill will be in this class. Newer drivers no longer eligible for the Rookie Class would fall here. If someone competing in this class demonstrates a clear dominance in this group, the Pan American Region board reserves the right to move a competitor into the Open Class at their discretion. End of year winners in the Intermediate Run Group may be moved to the Open Run Group for the following year.
Open Run Group
This a category that is reserved for drivers that have demonstrated very strong driver skills & experience (not to be judged in years), excellent car preparation and/or possess a vehicle that has a distinct and clear advantage over the competition due to its power, weight, tire & wheel size, car classification and/or PAX Index.
We hope that each and everyone of you will come out to experience and enjoy the exciting world of solo racing & competition.
You can pay online with a Credit/Debit card via Motorsportreg.com or you can elect to pay with cash, credit card or check at the event itself. No fee for online or credit card payments.
