Definition
A rallycross is a motorsports event where vehicles race on a course delineated by cones on generally unpaved, mostly flat surfaces. Elapsed time is tracked by the organizer with time-based penalties assessed for actions such as missed cones and driving off-course. Scoring is the accumulation of timed runs plus penalties where the lowest time wins. One car is released at a time with course workers monitoring cones and penalties.
Rallycross events are structured as a run-work format where competitors race during their class session and work the course when another class races.

- Practice good sportsmanship at all times.
- Register for and compete in the appropriate class for their vehicle. It is the driver’s responsibility to know the correct class based on the rules and vehicle classifications set forth in the Rallycross Rules.

Waitlist Policy
You may be placed on the waitlist when you register for a class or race day. Due to MotorsportReg limitations, being waitlisted for any part of the event will make you look like you are on the waitlist for the entire event. We will do our best to keep everyone updated of their registration status via Facebook, our website and email.
If a spot opens up due to a cancellation, we will email the next person in line based on registration date and time. You will have 24 hours to accept the spot before it is given to the next person in line. Be sure you have katie@nwrallyassociation.com added to your address book so emails do not go to your spam folder!
If you have questions about the waitlist at any time, please don't hesitate to send us a message. Since MSReg isn't super transparent with waitlists, we would rather you ask than be left in the dark!
