USC rules:
-
The event will be a straight, roughly 60' spaced slalom, with a simple turn around into a straight roughly 90' spaced slalom back to the finish (or vice-versa)
-
The start and finish timers will be placed as near the entry and exit of the slalom as safely possible, so that acceleration speeds before entering and after exiting the slalom are not taken into account
-
A running start is allowed - it is up to the driver to know how fast they can enter the slalom and keep in control
-
Each cone is a 2 second penalty
-
There will be 5 winners in ST (street tire), and 5 in RT (race tire).
-
The Golden Pylon Ticket will cost $80, and is for people who think they will win OVERALL FASTEST of both ST and RT and want to up their ante to get more.
