Arizona Border Region SCCA

These rules supplement the current SCCA rulebook for events held by the Arizona Border Region SCCA. For complete Solo II rules, please purchase a rulebook, or peruse the rules online at http://www.scca.com

• Waiver of Liability - Everyone entering the property on which the event is held must sign the SCCA Release and Waiver of Liability form and wear the provided wristband in an easily visible location (on their person, not on the vehicle).  Anyone refusing to sign the waiver will be asked to leave the event site.
• Driver Registration - All drivers must report to the registration table during the morning registration time. Each driver (with the exception of junior karts) must present his or her valid driver's license upon registering and paying for their event entry. SCCA members must present a valid and current SCCA membership card. Non-SCCA members must complete a weekend membership form to be allowed to participate.
  Additionally, all registered drivers must wear a colored wrist band which will be provided at the registration table once the driver's registration has been completed. This wrist band, which does not replace the waiver wrist band, must be worn in a manner where it can be easily identified by course workers operating grid and start. A driver who does not display a valid driver wrist band will not be allowed to proceed from grid to start and will not be allowed to run the course.
• Tech Inspection - All competitors must pass a Technical Inspection prior to the event. To enter the Tech Inspection area, a vehicle must be "ready to run", meaning all loose items must be out of the passenger compartment and trunk, lug nuts tightened, etc.  In addition, the vehicle must have no obvious safety problems, such as a loose battery, brake lines dragging underneath the car, etc.  If a tech inspector deems a vehicle not ready for inspection, that vehicle must be removed from the Tech Inspection area until it is ready.
• Helmets - All competitors must either provide a helmet conforming to the current SCCA rules when presenting their vehicle for Technical Inspection, or agree to use one of the AZBR's loaner helmets.  Loaner helmets are available at the timing trailer between run groups.  If you own a helmet, we will provide an AZBR sticker for helmets that pass inspection to save time at future events.
• Run Order - All efforts will be made to allow all competitors in a class to run their competition runs in the same run group, to provide similar course conditions.  However, due to class sizes or specific requests from competitors, classes may be split across multiple run groups.
• Passengers - Competitors may take passengers at their discretion.  All passengers are required to wear a helmet conforming to SCCA rules, and must have already taken their competition runs, if any.  If the members of a class agree, exceptions may be made to the competition run requirement, for example: to allow a Novice driver to ride as a passenger before or during their competition runs. All passengers must keep their hands, limbs and head completely inside the vehicle at all times.
• Kart Safety - When karts are competing in an event, all other vehicles will be stopped while the karts are on course and in transit to and from the start and finish areas.  When possible, karts will all run in the same run group, usually at the front of that group.
• Drivng in the pits - The speed limit in the pit and grid areas is 5mph. Burnouts and any other unsafe driving is not allowed.  Anyone driving in an unsafe manner will be asked to leave the event.
• Off Limits areas (SIR) - Southwest International Raceway is a drag strip, and our pits and parking are near their staging lanes (the curving blacktop off the SW corner of the lot). Under no circumstances are vehicles of any kind allowed to drive in the staging lanes.  Also off limits are the drag strip itself, the return road, and the dirt areas around the North side of the lot.  Anyone driving in these areas will be asked to leave the event.
• Work/Run format - All events are a work/run format.  All competitors must be available to work one run group for each group in which they run.  This includes Time Only runs.  The Worker Chief will provide work assignments at each event, prior to the start of each group.  Any competitor not reporting for work will have their runs disqualified, and no results will be posted.  Multiple absences will result in that competitor being banned from future events.
• Scoring and Points - Each cone knocked over or out of place is a 2-second penalty.  Each deviation from the course (missing a gate, skipping a slalom cone) is a 20-second penalty.  Two deviations will result in the run being scored as a DNF.  Results for the event and the current Series will be determined by competitor's PAX time in their respective class.  Novice and Street categories are treated as a single class for this purpose, with each competitor's score based on the vehicle's appropriate PAX class.  Note: STS, STX, STU, and STS2 are not eligible for the Street Category, as PAX scores for those classes already take into account the use of street tires (tires with a tread wear rating of 140+).
• Refund Policy - Should you choose to leave an event once paid/registered on site our policy on refunds is to provide credit. Be sure to request a credit record from one of the event organizers before you leave. This applies to competition and time only charges. Once you have made a run during a competition run group or time only run group credit will not be given. Examples of when a credit will be granted are: you have an emergency which requires you to leave prior to starting a competition or time only run group; your car does not pass inspection; or your car has a technical problem and cannot make it to grid for the first run.
Credits are valid for one year from the date of the credit. Redemption of credit can be made at future events. It's your responsibility to keep track of your credit.
• Have fun - We're all out to drive fast and have a good time. Relax and have fun. =]
