Sound Policy

The sound policy will be in effect with a revised hard limit of 100db for 2017 due to the relatively remote location of the event .  You can find the long version of the sound policy at the bottom of this page

but no one wants "ear-bleeding loud" cars or events. Nothing good can come from it.

Novices

2018 if you get a DNF twice on consecutive runs. You will be required to have a qualified ETR driver on your third run.

Getting started in autocross can seem a little overwhelming. If you are a first-time participant, please read the following information.

If you have questions, just ask. You can join our forum here to ask for help.

NEW 2018   For Novice class (Solo Only)

Starting in 2018, ETRSCCA will base novice results on raw time. This change was made in order to simplify the competition for beginners as part of an effort to focus on fun. Additionally, being that novices are brand new to autocross and usually do not have fully-prepared cars for their class, PAX does not apply to novice competitors as equally as it might to a PRO class.

  • Novice class will compete based on raw time plus cone penalties (+2 seconds per disturbed cone).
  • Novices will compete against other novices in different car classes.
  • Novices will run with their base class.
  • The winner will be the novice driver with lowest time for the day, regardless of car class.
  • If you win Novice class 2 times you will be moved to Open Class. Otherwise, you may compete as a Novice for 5 events or 1 year (12 months), whichever comes first.
  • A Novice competitor may choose to move into Open Class competition at any time, but may not move back to Novice.

Please review the following information

Absolutely no donuts, burnouts, or other hoonage on or around the event site.

We value our event sites and inappropriate behavior cannot be tolerated. Please drive respectfully as you travel to and from the event.

Your Vehicle Must Pass Tech

Before any car can run, it must be inspected to make sure it is safe and in compliance. The basics of the inspection include:

  • Battery securely bolted down. (This is the most common problem)
  • If your battery is not in the stock location and is a wet cell battery it must be in a enclosed battery box such as one for a marine battery.
  • Tires – no cord showing
  • Wheel bearings, shocks, steering, and suspension in good operating condition.
  • Seat belts in good operating condition.
  • Brakes – firm pedal with no detectable drop with car not running and proper level of fluid in reservoir.
  • All loose items removed (radar detectors, floor mats, etc.)
  • Hubcaps and wheel rings removed unless they bolt on.
  • All lugs present and tight.
  • Throttle return action safe and positive (no sticky throttles)
  • No excessive fluid leaks

Acceptable numbers and class designation must be on both sides of car.

You are responsible for this. Buy magnets, bring painters tape, masking tape, or frog tape (in a contrasting color from your car), or print your numbers and letters at home and tape them to the car. Whatever your solution, it should be legible from 100 feet.

2018: Novices must include "N" in your class letters on your car.

Examples:

   The "N" should be first. Example: NGS, NCAMC, NSTS

    Not Good class letters too small

Waviers

Any competitor or passenger must sign the SCCA wavier, available on site.

Weekend Memberships

SCCA Membership cards will be verified when you check-in at the registration trailer. If you are not an SCCA member, you must register for this event as an SCCA weekend member. Any passenger in a competition car must be a weekend member, but there is no fee for passengers.

Special Wavier for competitors, passengers, or participants that are under 18

All minors under 18 years old require a minor waiver to compete or spectate. For competitors the waiver must be signed by both parents, or by a verified single parent/guardian (requires evidence of status). This waiver is good for all events for a full calendar year from the date of its signing as long as the minor retains the pink waiver copy. For a minor spectator, one parent or guardian can sign a waiver good for a single event.  Althought ETR has minor waviers at the event, it is best to be prepared ahead of event day – get the minor competitor’s waiver completed with all the parent/guardian signatures required.

THIS FORM MUST BE PRINTED IN COLOR

The minor waiver can be downloaded at: http://www.scca.com/documents/insurance/Minor%20Release%20Form%20MS-L.pdf

Print the form (IN COLOR), get it signed by both parents or legal guardians, and present it at the registration table at the event.

Please visit our community forum if you have any questions about this wavier.

Helmets

Loaner helmets are available. If you bring your own, it must be SNELL rated. Learn more about helmet requirements here.
