Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a helmet to race?

    Yes – you will need a Snell 2005 or newer Helmet to race. We have “Loaner Helmets” in the Timing and Scoring Trailer free on a “first come, first served” basis.

  • What Class will my car run in at the event?

    This depends on the car and what if any modifications have been made to it.

    Our events are held in accordance with the SCCA National Solo Rules and our Sacramento Chapter Supplemental Regulations.

    We will have copies of both documents available at registration to help you determine your car classification.

    Those documents can also be found at these links:

    SCCA National Solo Rules

    Sacramento Chapter Supplemental Regulations

  • Can I run in a different Run Group?

    Yes, but not for points, and you still need to work that group’s work group.   If you wish to collect points towards overall class and PAX championships you must run in your assigned run group and work in your assigned work group. More information on this can be found in the Sacramento Chapter Supplemental Regulations

  • Can I be a passenger?

    Yes – we have an unlimited passenger rule. You can be a passenger at any time as long as it doesn’t interfere with your normal runs.

  • If I am 65 or older and I run, do I have to work?

    Yes – If we have enough workers, those 65 and older may be able to get out of their work assignment. Speak with the Event Chair to find out.

  • Where is Tech?

    We Tech on Grid – anything in your car that is loose and could fly around needs to be removed. Batteries need to be held down – bungee cord, strap, actual battery tie down. Any stereo equipment in the trunk needs to be bolted down or it has to come out – same with the spare tire.

  • Can I get a refund or credit if it rains?

    No – We race rain or shine and hope you do to. We will not be offering refunds or credits for no shows, including those due to weather conditions.

  • What is ``Reverse Grid``?

    First Car on Grid will be the Last Car to go out – Last Car on Grid will be the First Car to go out.

  • What is a ``Red Flag Situation``?

    When a course worker is seen waving a Red Flag, you and the course are said to be “Red Flagged” and there is a Safety Situation that requires you to immediately stop and take directions from the course workers.  The course workers will then direct you when it is safe to proceed through the rest of the course at reduced speed.  Depending on the reason for the Red Flag Situation, you may get a re-run so listen to the announcer or check with a grid worker or the timing trailer after returning to grid.

  • Timing Slip Station?

    This will be set up at the very end of the course where you will pick up the slip that shows the time you ran. You MUST STOP for your timing slip – this is a safety issue and must be adhered to.

  • What is DNF?

    DNF – (Did Not Finish) – This means at some point you did not complete the whole course (ie: went around a cone, drove off-course and didn’t come back on behind where you left, etc).

  • What is the penalty for hitting a cone?

    Each cone hit will add a 1 second penalty.

  • Do I need to be a Member to race?

    Yes – If you are not a full member, you must become a “Weekend Member” to run at our events. This nominal fee let’s you be covered by SCCA Insurance, plus it knocks some money off when you become a full member.
