GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

• Registration "No Show" Policy: If you pre-register and are unable to attend, you must notify the event registrar by 5 pm, the day before the event. If you do not, then you will be recorded as a "no-show" for that date. The next event you attend, you can still pre-register, but you will be required to pay for the no-show event and to work an extra worker assignment - Setup, Morning Waiver, or other assignments as needed by the club.
• Waiver of Liability: Every person present at the event must acknowledge and sign the Release and Waiver of Liability form and wear the Solo 2 waiver wrist band in a clearly visible location on their person.
• Vehicle Eligibility: Nearly every racecar, passenger car and sports car is eligible for Solo 2 competition.  Trucks, SUV's, Van's and other similarly large vehicles may not be eligible for competition due to safety concerns.  Please check with the Director, Co-Director, Event Chairman or Solo Safety Steward if you have a questionable vehicle you would like to run (contact information found on the "Officials" page).
• Conduct/Working: Anyone who drives in an unsafe manner shows blatant disregard for fellow entrants, officials, rules or their purpose will be subject to disqualification and/or suspension. All entrants are required to work. Those who do not will be disqualified (i.e. no points on the results  X.Work) and will be suspended for the next event they register for. No alcoholic beverages or impairing medications are allowed. Spectators and children must stay only in identified safe areas. Speeds in the immediate area will be 5mph or less. If unable to attend after Internet Pre-registration, contact Registrar via email by 6pm of the day before the event. Everyone present must acknowledge the Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement Form.
• Maximum Entries: Maximum Entries: In an effort to maximize the quality of events, the maximum number of entries at any one event will be limited to 180 competition entries and 60 "Time Only" entries. AZ Region and other SCCA Members receive registration priority. Registration priority for guests will be determined on a first come, first serve basis. If there are less than 60 Time Only entries, competition entries over 180 may enter the event until a limit of 240 total entries is reached.
• F125, Formula Junior and/or Karts: These classes will be allowed if additional insurance requirements have been made in advance. The event details posted prior to the event MUST specifically indicate that these classes will be allowed to compete. If not, they will not be allowed to run.
• Driver's License: Every driver is required to have a valid driver's license and proof of insurance and be prepared to show them at registration.
• SCCA Membership: Any entrant requesting the lower SCCA Member entry fees must have a current SCCA membership card and be prepared to show it at registration.
• Helmets: Helmets are required of all drivers and passengers. Acceptable helmets must have a Snell rating of 1995 (M or SA) or higher.  Loaner helmets of correct rating are available.
• Car Numbers, Classes and Run Order: Cars will be numbered by run group (A-1, B-2, C-5, etc.). Cars in the same SCCA Open classes listed above will run in the same group. All other local classes will have a choice of run groups. Car number and class designation must be placed clearly on the car at tech inspection (commonly white shoe polish on windows). Car classing is to be done at Registration or Tech by the entrant (help available if needed).
• Passengers: An adult passenger may ride with any entrant during their competition runs except that such passenger is not competing in the same or later run group.
• Minors Riding: Younger passengers may ride only if they are at least 12 years old, have a properly signed Minor Waiver and the parent/guardian brings a helmet of the correct size for them that is rated Snell 1995 or newer (we have no junior-size helmets as loaners).
• Tech Inspection: Park and unload before going to tech, have the Entry Form completed, signed and in hand, the car ready to run. The following items - steering, battery, wheel lugs & bearings, tire pressure & condition, throttle spring, muffler (db limits will be enforced based on site requirements), no loose items, no fluid leaks, seat belts - will be closely checked. If you have your own helmet, bring it to tech inspection so that its rating may be checked.
• Pop-Up Tents: Pop-up tents and shades can be a hazard due to wind gusts. They should all be tied down with weights. In any case it is the responsibility of each entrant avoid these structures during wind gusts and to NOT park their vehicles near such structures which might blow over and damage their vehicle.
• Site Respect: Every entrant and/or visitor is expected to pick up their trash, cigarette butts and personal belongings.
  Use of any vehicle jacks must be cushioned from the pavement with a wooden board (loaners boards available).
• Novice: A Novice is defined as someone who has less than one year of experience in autocross, has entered less than 6 events in the AZ Region and who has not received a trophy in any class/category in an AZ Region autocross.
• Nitrous Systems: Any nitrous tank or bottle must be detached and left at home. No nitrous tanks or bottles are allowed at event site whether connected to the vehicle engine or not.
• Unsafe Conduct: Any unsafe or illegal driving behavior during or directly before or after an event may lead to disqualification ("Extreme DNF") from future events for a period of up to 6 months. Firearms or weapons of any kind will not be allowed at the event site. Driving the course in an unsafe manner as judged by the Solo Safety Steward will result in being disqualified with all pending runs and entry fee forfeited.
• Protests: Any disputes should first be discussed and solved directly between the involved parties (SCCA official available if requested). Should there still be the need to protest a driver, car, or event procedures this should occur within 30 minutes of the last run for the car/driver in question. Deliver in writing to the Solo 2 Director or Chief Steward with exact specifics as to the issue. A protest committee will be formed of three SCCA officials who will review the facts and make an immediate decision on the site. Corrections to the results must be submitted by email to the Timing Chairman within one week after the results are posted to the website. Results are final one week after they have been posted on the website.
• Registration and Proof of ID: Every entrant will be required to show a valid and current drivers license prior to being allowed to register for an event and be at least 18 years of age. Those under 18 must have a properly filled out minor waiver form. Entrants must register with the same name that appears on the driver's license (common shortened names are okay as a substitute - example: Matthew = Matt). Additionally, pre-Registration or onsite registration automatically gives the Solo 2 SCCA AZ Region permission to post all registered entrants name on our results page. Failure to meet all requirements will disqualify entrants from running the event.
• Scoring: The score for each event will be based on the PAX score. The PAX score is 1000 times the ratio of the best PAX time in the event divided by the entrant's best time. Best PAX score will then be 1000 points. The entrants position in a series will be determined by combining the best PAX scores from each event in the series, dropping the worst score or a missed event. Therefore a 4-event series will use the best 3 event scores and a 3-event series will use the best 2 event scores. Entrants missing more than one event in a series will not be qualified for trophies or listing in the series results.  In the event a competitor receives DNF's on all competition runs, a score of 100 PAX points will be awarded.  In the event of a competitor receiving an "Extreme DNF" ("X.DNF") or failure to show up for their assigned work assignment ("X.Work") the score be handled as if the competitor never ran the event.
• Car/Driver Limits: There shall be no more than two drivers per car per run group regardless of class/category. Exceptions due to mechanical issues may be allowed if approved by the Event Chair.

TROPHIES and SCORING:

Trophies will be awarded based on the number of entrants in the class. Ties in a series class will be broken by first comparing the highest total PAX score for the events where the tied competitors actually competed against each other. If still a tie, then use fractional total PAX Score for the events where the tied competitors actually competed against each other. If still a tie then award duplicate places and drop next place in sequence.

ADDED 09/20/07: Trophies not claimed at the awards banquet will be retained by the club for 1 calender year. After 1 calender year the club will dispose of any still unclaimed trophy as it sees fit. For example, unclaimed trophies from the Fall 2007 series will be retained till the last event of the Fall 2008 series.

Trophies for Open, ST1/2, STL, PXL, NV1/2/3, NVL and Sportsman categories awarded as follows:
1st Trophy - 1-3 cars
2nd Trophy - 4-6 cars
3rd Trophy - 7-9 cars
4th Trophy - 10-14 cars
5th Trophy - 15+ cars

PRO class payout will be:
4-event series:
1st - $75 - 1-3 cars
