ALL JUDGMENT OF THE EVENT OFFICIALS IS FINAL
LIABILITY RELEASE WAIVER: Notes regarding the liability release waivers are found by clicking here.
REGISTRATION: Each driver must register to run on course. A valid driver’s license must be presented at registration. An SCCA membership card must be presented in order to receive the membership discount rate, otherwise the non-membership fee applies. Entry fee for registration is non-refundable once the driver makes his/her first run.
Competitors may
enter each event only once (entrant may not enter an event in more than one Car
Class).

ENTRY FEES: |

*Entry fees are collected at pre-registration check-in and walk-up registration.
CLASSES: Determination of
the appropriate class to run in is the responsibility of the competitor. Tech inspectors
verify car safety but may help you determine your class (with National SCCA
rules). CKR will use Open classes as listed in the Solo Rule Book.
Ladies Open classes will also be used. There is no Novice
class. There will still be novice walk-through's at each event to help new drivers, but for
simplicity and to help new members build up points for the season, we have
chosen not to have a novice class.
CKRSCCA will be
using a new class this year know as the “Open Street Tire
Class”. This is a regional only
class. The purpose of this class is to
allow some cars that do not fall into a normal Street Tire class to compete
against other cars on street tires.
Points will be based on the class “PAX” index that the car
would normally fall in under the SCCA national rules. Each car will have its respective
“PAX” index applied to the competitor’s time. This will determine the class winner. Drivers wishing to compete in this class will
use their same class with a “T” added at the end to signify running
in the special class.
CAR NUMBERS: A permanent car number registry is located by clicking here. Any member wishing to compete for points in the year-end championship must reserve their desired car number here. Rules for selecting a car number are discussed at the link above.
FORMULA 125: 100 and 125 cc Karts as listed in the Solo Rules book are legal in CKR on approved sites. Minor drivers (under 18) must have a driver’s license (no formula Junior / 5 HP cars).
SINGLE CAR
CLASS: A minimum of two cars makes a class. CKR does not use
"bumping"; by the close of registration, if only a single entry exists
in any class, this entrant will be grouped into a "Single Car
Handicap" class to award trophies for that event, judging by the PAX
index. However, year-end points will be awarded for each classed vehicle
in their open class (since the definition of the Single Car Class includes cars
with no other competitors of the same open class, each entrant will receive 1st
place points for their open class.)
PAX Index:

YEAR END CHAMPIONSHIP: Only CKR SCCA members or associate members in good standing are eligible for the year end Solo Championship. Non members may count results from two previously participated events as member entries when they submit their membership application. An SCCA member of another region can qualify for a CKR year end trophy by joining the CKR as an associate member (membership is $10.00 and like regular membership, a participant may count their two previously participated in points events toward the seasonal year end championship). A member must run a minimum of four points events in a class to be eligible for year end trophies. Year end trophies are awarded from points accumulated from a member's best five points events in a class. This year we will have eight points events. The number of points earned at each points event is described below. This is the same point system utilized by the Great American Solo Series (GASS):
Points/Event = 100 - [900 x (entrant's time - class winning time)/class winning time]
DNF = 20 points
DSQ = 0 points
Anyone who completes at least one timed run will
receive a minimum of 20 points.
Tie breaker is as follows: The winner is the competitor with the highest score of total sum of scored points (not just the best four). This method favors a competitor's performance at more than just the minimal number of events.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION: Cars must be presented in competition condition: Tires changed, no loose material in trunk & interior. Car number and class must be legible and visible on both sides of the car, double entries must have only one number visible at any time on course (so you the driver on course can be identified). Nitrous Oxide systems are not permitted on the site (first time entrants will be given a waiver requiring disconnection of the system).
NOISE
CONTROL:
All cars are highly encouraged to have adequate mufflers. Your car must
be quieter than 98dbA measured at 100 feet away at a place where the car
is under full throttle. If noise becomes
an issue at any of the sites, CKR reserves the right to amend our noise rules
at any time with notice posted to the CKR website.
HELMETS: Helmet must have Snell 95 or later sticker. We have a limited number of loaner helmets. You must get your own helmet to use before each run, and must return it to the same area where you got it immediately after each run.
DRIVERS MEETING: YOU MUST ATTEND THE DRIVERS MEETING. This is where you receive the run/work order and schedule. Special announcements for the day are discussed.
WORKING: ALL COMPETITORS MUST WORK. Run-work order will be announced at the driver’s meeting, and work assignments will be announced by the worker chief just before the beginning of each heat. You must check in prior to working. Failure to work your assignment will result in disqualification.
TIMED RUNS: Will be scored regardless of dry or rain. The number of runs during an event may be changed due to time constraints or severe weather.
RE-RUNS: Are granted for timing malfunction, if red flagged, or stopping for an obvious safety issue without being red flagged. Re-runs for a previously downed cone are only granted if the competitor stops and points to the cone. If you continue your run past a downed cone, you don’t get a re-run, and the cone may be added to your time.
TIMING
RESULTS:
All announcements and preliminary results are unofficial. The official results
will be posted as “Final”. Protests against timing & scoring will not be
accepted without firm evidence. If you have a timing problem, PLEASE don’t attempt to enter the timing trailer. Instead,
find an official who will relay your concern.
Any
decisions made by the Solo Chair or Regional Executive on the day of the event
are final, unless an official written protest is filed.
SAFETY: THE ORGANIZERS RESERVE
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY TO ANY PERSON OR VEHICLE. Spectators must remain in
designated areas. Anyone with a camera on course must be approved in advance by
an official and be accompanied by an adult spotter (corner workers may not use
a camera, and must stand during runs). Cell phone use on the course by
workers, drivers or passengers is prohibited.
Any
decision made by the Chief Safety Steward on a safety issue is final and cannot
be protested.
WEATHER: The event may be
delayed or cancelled for extreme weather. If so, the requirement to award
trophies and points is that every car in a class has completed one run. Refunds
only if an entire class can not complete one run. The decision can be made at anytime by the Chief
Safety Steward to end an event due to inclement weather.
DISQUALIFICATION: The following are
automatic disqualifiers-
-Consumption of alcohol or drugs by an entrant, or anyone in their party, during
the event.
-Burnouts, speeding, or any reckless or unsafe driving while not on course.
-Reckless or unsafe driving on course.
-Not reporting for your work assignment.
-THE EVENT OFFICIALS MAY DISQUALIFY ANYONE FOR BAD CONDUCT. NO REFUNDS!
PROTESTS: For car classification, please see the bulletin board for our policy and procedure. If you disagree with an official judgment, a written protest will be considered. This must be presented to an official and identify specific items from the rule book. The official must date and sign the protest, and identify his/her position to the person who presents the protest.
