Entry fees for most SCCV Autocross events are $50 for non-members and $40 for all SCCV/SCCNH/KSCC/CMC/CART members
SUMMER SERIES:
SCCV members accumulate Summer Series points each autocross event that they participate based on their finish results in class. These points are accumulated and tabulated for end of year championship contention which qualify for awards. Championship point totals are calculated by adding points up and then applying an “event drop” of 25% of the event total to allow more eligibility of members. There will be a 4 event minimum threshold to drop a single event.
To find the correct class for a car with SCCV’s classing system, begin with the “Stock Classing” link. Find the vehicle year and model, and locate the SCCV class column (right-most column in bold). If the vehicle is completely stock with no modifications, this is the vehicle’s SCCV class. If the vehicle cannot be found on this list, please reach out to an SCCV organizer for help, or determine your SCCA classing designation yourself via the SCCA Solo website.
If the vehicle has modifications, take note of the stock classing and then go to the “Classing Points” link. Here one will add together any modifications on the vehicle. 15 points will bump a car up to the next class. Depending on the car’s stock version classing, it may already begin with modification points (this is done to balance classes as much as possible). If this is the case, the modification points are added on top of the starting points. If they are over 15, the vehicle will bump to the next class (30 bumping up two classes, etc).
Classing collects similar types of vehicles. Base classing and the modifications points are not perfect – not all cars in each class are perfectly even. The class number does not necessarily mean one class is faster than the other, though there is a rough trend from Class 1 to Class 6 in terms of performance. Class 6 is an “open class” with no limit to modification.
If unsure about classing specifics, reach out to an organizer or bring your information to your first event to ask for help or post on the forum for some help.

PREPARE YOURSELF
The following items are needed for you to be prepared.
I. SCCV requires all drivers use a Snell helmet (SA/M) that is the current certification, or the prior two certifications (see below). 2010 is the bare minimum accepted.
Snell SA rated helmets are more widely accepted in motorsports than Snell M rated helmets. SA rated helmets will most likely require online purchase such as saferacer.com (no known local vendors), while Snell M rated helmets may be available at most of the local motorsport shops, for example motorcycle and ATV distributors. It is recommended that you at least test fit (size of helmet) at a local store before making online purchases if you have not purchased a helmet before. If purchasing in person, verify the helmet is Snell certified with one of the following stickers. The sticker may be hidden underneath the padding.
II. SCCV requires all drivers AND passengers possess a valid Driver’s License. Drivers and passengers under the age of 18 will require parental signature of a minor liability waiver to drive.
III. Bring appropriate footwear: closed-toe, attached at ankle
IV. Payment for event
V. Arrive to events ON TIME
PASSENGERS
Any driver OR passenger must sign an event waiver. Read this thoroughly. All drivers AND passengers must possess a valid driver’s license. If the licensed participant is under 18 years of age, the participant will require both parent’s signature of a minor liability waiver at the first event, and at least one parent present at all events (whether driving or riding as a passenger).
LIABILITY
Please be aware that regular auto insurance policies do not cover damage to your vehicle while participating in motorsports events. Drivers are responsible for removing damaged vehicles from the track/course, and for repairing any damage to said vehicle, club equipment damaged, and/or course damage.
