  • This course walk will typically take place at about 8:45 AM, starting near the course start line.

• WORK ASSIGNMENTS: ALL SOLO COMPETITORS MUST WORK.
  • Check in with the worker chief and report promptly to your work assignment before your heat begins.
  • Final run/work heats will be announced at the on-site drivers’ meeting once all participants have checked in. Please do not ask the registrar beforehand, as they will not have that information.
  • Failure to work your assignment at an event will result in disqualification from that event.
  • Repeated failure to work your assignment will result in a ban from future CFR SCCA Solo events.
• RAIN OR SHINE?:
  • Events will pause if lightning is in the area—please shelter in a car or building.
  • Severe weather may cause an event to be suspended or canceled, depending on the expected duration.
  • If an event is canceled, and you have not made any competition runs, you will not be charged an event fee. Unfortunately, if you have made any competition runs, we must still charge an event fee.

PASSENGER POLICY (18 years old or older)

• Passenger has completed and signed the required participant waiver(s).
• Membership is required (can be a “Trial Membership” which is free for passengers).
• Passenger must fit properly in the vehicle's safety restraints and must wear a properly fitted helmet.
• It is highly recommended that onboard passenger airbag(s) be disabled for passengers under 57 inches tall.
• The vehicle has passed safety (tech) inspection (Section 3.3.3)
• Competitors may not ride as passengers prior to their competition runs, with the exception that designated instructors may ride with competitors with a Learner's permit due to state requirement to have a fully licensed driver in the vehicle.

SCHEDULE INFORMATION

• It is recommended to arrive by 8:00 AM to allow time for check-in, car tech inspection, and course walk-throughs.
• Every car must go through Tech Inspection by 8:45 AM
• Novice Course Walk will start promptly at 8:45
• Late registration/check-in after 8:45 AM may be allowed at the registrar’s discretion and will incur a $10 fee.

WORK ASSIGNMENT SELECTION

• If you are a novice, you must select the Corner Station work assignment, unless physically limited.
• Only select Solo Safety Steward if you are a current holder of an SCCA SSS License.
• Only select any waiver position if you have an annual (or greater) SCCA membership.
• Work assignment selections are requests. We will try to honor them but must balance personnel based on class groupings each heat.
• Physical Limitation/Special Requests
  • Notify at least two days before the event via email to CFRSolo2@gmail.com with the event name and “Work - Special Request” in the subject line.
    • Examples of Special Requests, but are not limited to:
      • Ailments preventing cone replacement or standing for a full heat (~1.5 hours)
      • Needing to leave the event early for personal reason.
  • Permanent special needs (e.g., arthritis or other chronic physical impairments) only need to be reported once to the event organizers. Once established, you do not need to re-communicate them for future events.
  • Non-permanent Special Requests should be used only in rare or unavoidable situations, as each request adds complexity to scheduling run/work orders and assigning workers efficiently. 

MINOR POLICY (under 18 years old)

• Minor - Competitors and/or Passengers Only - must have a properly executed SCCA Minor Waiver.
  • SCCA has streamlined the Minor Waiver process by offering digital creation of the Minor Waiver.

CLASSES

• For modification allowances respective to each category, see Sections 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 of current SCCA® National Solo® Rules, which define the classing categories, and the allowable modifications in each category.  Sports Car Club of America (scca.com)
  • Cars that are near stock will generally fall into Section 13 “Street Category”.
  • If you have modifications to your car, work down the sections from Section 13 to Section 19 to find the category that accommodates all of your car’s modifications.
• To determine classing for a car within a category, see Appendix A of current SCCA® National Solo® Rules. A digital copy of the current Solo Rules can be downloaded here:  https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

Helmets

• All drivers must wear a SNELL 2010/2015/2020/2025 (M/SA) approved helmet. Other European standards are also accepted.

See current SCCA® National Solo® Approved Helmet here

• Loaner helmets are available, but may not be fully sanitized between uses. If this is a concern, please bring your own approved helmet or contact us in advance.

Sound Policy

• Our sound policy aligns with SCCA Solo National events. The general limit is 100 dBa at 50 ft, measured where the vehicle is expected to be loudest. Refer to Appendix I of the current SCCA® National Solo® Rules for full details.
• For our regional events, we typically do not have a dedicated sound position. If officials suspect a vehicle may exceed limits, its sound will be measured on the next run, and SCCA National rules will apply.
• Note: Directional exhaust tips aimed laterally away from the sound measurement station DOES NOT constitute a viable remedy, although directional exhausts may be used to aim the exhaust straight up, straight down, or straight back.

Special Considerations and Allowances

• Course “Check Runs”

  • Course designers or knowledgeable officials may make check runs to identify safety or visual issues.

  • Competitors doing check runs should, if possible, use a car different from their competition vehicle.

  • Check runs are necessary and allowed; no protests will be accepted for them.

• Instructor Runs

  • Instructors may drive student cars before their own competition runs to provide guidance. These runs should match the student’s skill level and not be at maximum speed (“Ten-Tenths”).

  • “Ten-Tenths” runs to explore a car’s limits should only be done during fun runs after the instructor has completed all competitive runs.

  • Necessary instructor runs prior to competitive runs are allowed, and no protests will be accepted.

  • The purpose of these runs is instruction, not competitive advantage.

• CFR SCCA Event Officials

  • Participants performing event work that disrupts their competition timeline may be allowed special accommodations, such as, but not limited to:

    • Walking the course during the Driver’s Meeting

    • Running in a different heat or spreading runs across multiple heats

  • This “heat flexibility” is only for completing event duties and must not be used for competitive advantage.
