This font indicates a change for this year.
2007 SCCA Solo II rules with the following exceptions:
1) A driver may enter only one car in an event. For the "Autocrosser of the Year" runoff championship, the runoff vehicle will count as a legal second vehicle.
2) Trophies are awarded to the top third of each class.
3)
Classes will be bumped according to current SCCA rules for the purpose of awarding trophies.
Two cars make a class; cars will not bump out of their Category.
Bumping may be at the discretion of the Event Chair.
No bumping in Rookie classes (see Rule 12)
NOTE: Bumped cars are unbumped for season points.
4) FCSCC holds an annual Autocross Championship Series with trophies for each class as well as an "Autocrosser of the Year" award. Only FCSCC members are eligible for points and trophies. Points are awarded as follows:
| Place | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 9 |
| 2nd | 6 |
| 3rd | 4 |
| 4th | 3 |
| 5th | 2 |
| 6th or lower | 1 |
| Event Chair | +1 |
A driver must compete in more than half the points events in a class to be eligible for that class championship. The event in which a member has the lowest points (including 0) is dropped. New club members receive points from the date that a membership application and dues are received except for Rookie class, where points are retroactive to the beginning of the year, if the rookie becomes a member before September 1. Chairing an event counts as participating in an event.
5) Completely missing any gate (off course) will result in a DNF (O/C), although a time may be given. One on-course run is required to win a trophy or earn points.
6) All drivers are expected to work at the event. Failure of any competitor to work as scheduled may be grounds for event disqualification and/or censure.
7) All competitors are expected to show up on time for an event. Anyone arriving after the close of registration, if allowed to enter, will be assessed a $10 late fee and all missed runs will be forfeited. Acceptance of late entries will be at the discretion of the event chair.
8) Any course layout may be pre-run by the Event Chair or designee to judge the safety and quality of the course.
9) A safe controlled exit must be made at the completion of each run. Failure to exit safely may result in an off-course run or a disqualification.
10) All protests must be submitted to a protest committee consisting of three impartial club officials. If a protest is upheld, disqualification may result. Random impounds may be conducted at the sole discretion of club officials.
11) The current year's PAX/RTP factors will be used to score Ladies,
Rookie and other factored classes.
Current PAX factors are here.
12) New participants may remain Rookies for their entire first year, unless they choose to participate in their respective open class. Rookies are divided into two indexed classes for Stock and Non-Stock (Street Prepared, Street Modified, Prepared and Modified) vehicles. Rookies with Street Touring category vehicles (STS, STS2, STX, or STU) will be factored in the Rookie Non-Stock class using the PAX index from the appropriate Street Prepared class, or they may elect to run in the appropriate Street Touring open class. Rookies who are FCSCC members accumulate points for the season championship using the same guidelines as open classes, but points accumulated in open classes do not count toward the Rookie Championship.
13) The Street Tire class is a PAX-factored class intended to provide a competitive venue for people without R-compound tires. Prohibited tires include all competition models and any tire with a treadwear index less than 100. Standard SCCA classes are used to determine PAX factors. Event and year-end trophies will be awarded as per the rules for other classes. Street Touring category (STS, STS2, STX, STU) cars are not allowed to run in the FCSCC Street Tire class.
14) All vehicles must be muffled, with a maximum sound-level of 90 dba at 100 feet. After one warning, disqualification may result. Final judgement rests on acceptability of sound levels, regardless of measured sound level, and is based on evaluation of the sound's impact on the event environment and rests with the Event Chair or other FCSCC official.
15) Karts and SUV’s are not permitted to enter our events. Pickup trucks are generally not permitted but may be allowed if, in the judgment of the technical committee and event chair, they do not present an undue hazard.
16) It is the intention of the FCSCC to provide a quality autocross that is safe, fun and fair to all contestants. Rules will be applied in the spirit of friendly competition and not where the letter of the law would create an inequitable situation for any driver or class. Club officials, the event chair and the technical committee reserve the right to disqualify participants and/or to direct participants and crew to leave the premises if their participation and/or presence presents a risk to the safety or well-being of themselves, other participants, the FCSCC, our hosts or our neighbors. Club officials retain final judgment in all cases.
