CLASSING:
Participants will be separated into classes based on vehicle specification. It is the responsibility of the participant to properly class their car with integrity and are subject to protest by any fellow participant who brings complaints to the organizers.
All vehicles competing in street legal classes must be registered and inspected properly with their respective state requirements for road going vehicles. Super Spec classes are for any vehicles that don’t meet the street legal criteria, as well as any street legal vehicle wishing to participate in Super Spec. Ultimate discretion is up to tech inspectors & event chair with classing. Any vehicle found to be improperly classed is subject to being re-classed by organizers.
Tire type must be either winter, all-season or all terrain variety. All studded tires must be DOT rated and unmodified. Unstudded tires are open to modification & off road ratings. The classing will be organized as follows:
- Street Legal 2WD Unstudded
- Street Legal 4WD Unstudded
- Street Legal 2WD Studded
- Street Legal 4WD Studded
- Super Spec 2WD Unstudded
- Super Spec 4WD Unstudded
- Super Spec 2WD Studded
- Super Spec 4WD Studded
DRIVER REQUIREMENTS:
Any driver or passenger must sign an event waiver. 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 a parent/guardian signature of a minor liability waiver at the first event, and the parent/guardian must be present at all events (whether driving or riding as a passenger).
All drivers must use a Snell rated helmet (SA/M) that is the current certification, or the prior two certifications. Currently, 2010 certification is the 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.
Drivers must use appropriate footwear: closed-toe, attached at ankle
Regular auto insurance policies do not cover damage to a driver’s vehicle while participating in motorsport 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.
TECH INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS:
All vehicles must pass a pre event tech inspection by a SCCV tech inspector. The failure to pass any of these checks may disqualify entries from participating in the event. Passing tech inspection is ultimately at the discretion of the inspector and/or event chairman. These items will be checked during tech inspection at every event:
- Vehicles are restricted to a maximum roofline height of 68”, as well as needing to adhere to a max height to width ratio of 1:1. Meaning the vehicle height cannot be taller than its width.
- No major fluid leaks (small controlled leaks subject to discretion of inspector)
