IMPORTANT -- if you run with us, you must also work the course during your off session in the morning and afternoon. Exceptions to leave early must be cleared with Worker Chief BEFORE YOU REGISTER! Regular exceptions will not be given. Skipping your work assignment without approval, causes hardship to event organizers, and is considered poor sportsmanship.
Classing
We follow SCCA National Solo Rules for classing. Classing tables for most cars can be found in Appendix A of the rules. If you are have further questions, feel free to ask on our very active forum HERE.
First Year Drivers (Novices)
We welcome all new drivers to our events. If this is your first year autocrossing (or if you have minimal experience), you may register in our Novice class. If you have never autocrossed, we strongly advise you to enter the Novice class and attend our Novice Walk-thru. During the Novice Walk-thru a veteran driver will show you the basics and give course-specific tips. Entering the Novice class is not a restriction in any way. Please review the following:

Event requirements
Requirements
- Bring a valid drivers license with you to the event.
- Autocrossers under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a minor's competition waiver.
- Helmets are required, but we have loaners available.
- All drivers must fulfill their work assignments. Work assignments will be given at the drivers meeting. We do not allow working only half of the day.
Sound Policy
TAC/TVR has a strict sound policy, due to our residential location and agreement with the Milton Frank Stadium owners. Your car must not be louder than 96 dB without exception. Sound will be monitored approximately 50 feet from the course. The type of exhaust (stock vs aftermarket) is not restricted, but it must not exceed 96 dB. If your car exceeds 96 dB on a run, you will be notified, the run will be scored as a DNF, and not allowed to run again. If you show that a modification has been made to reduce noise (driving at half throttle does not count), then you will be allowed to run again. If your car exceeds the limit a second time, you will not be allowed to run for the rest of the day. We want EVERYONE to have a great day autocrossing, please make this easy by fixing your car before the event!
Payment
Cash and check will be accepted for payment. Season passes are not accepted for this non-points event. Registration closes on Thursday, January 24th at 1:00 PM. Your account will be charged 1-2 days prior to the event.
