About this event
The SCCA Philadelphia Region 2019 SOLO Summer Series
Non-Points Event - Temple Ambler
We have gained access to a new site for the region. This will be a small, non-points series test event.
Due to the layout of the lot there will be NO KARTS at this test event.
Due to site owner policies there are no Minor competitors permitted. ALL COMPETITORS MUST BE 18+ YEARS OF AGE.
Minors are permitted on site as spectators only.
This event will be run in full-day format and is capped at a maximum of 75 drivers.
If this is your first Philly Region event:
Philadelphia Region runs a novice program to help newcomers to the sport get through their first couple of events and have fun doing it.
- There will be a Novice course walk with an instructor at 9am. Walk the course on your own before this time, in order to get the most value from the guided walk.
- During your run group, Instructors will be available - put your 4-way flashers on to indicate that you'd like one to ride along.
- If this is your first autocross event, arrive early to ensure that you have time to register, prep your car, tech, and walk the course before 9am.
- All autocross events are run/work events, and during one heat you will help work the course. Please review this useful information about courseworking put together by the Susquehanna region: http://www.scca-susq.com/autocross/beginners-guide/working-the-course/

Event Format
This event will be run in full-day format with two to three heats. Run order will be determined the day of the event.
Everyone must check-in at registration in the morning, even if you pre-register online, to obtain a barcode for our registration program!
The site is open at 6:30 AM. We strongly suggest that you plan on arriving by 7:30 AM to allow time to get your car ready, check in at registration, get your work assignment, get your car through tech inspection, and then have time for course walks prior to the mandatory drivers' meeting.
Run order: To be determined
Junior Kart class: No Jr. Karts are permitted at this event.
Ladies class: Philadelphia Region has eliminated Ladies Class. However, for 2019, a maximum of four (4) drivers can register to co-drive one (1) vehicle in the same class. Notice must be given in advance by pre-registering online AND contacting the registrar. Notice must include which drivers will run off heat. The heat in which additional drivers run will be determined based upon worker needs. Philadelphia Region reserves the right to deny this privilege to anyone who abuses it or does not follow the above procedure.
