The Rules:

General Requirements

Almost any safe 4 wheel vehicle is usable for auto crossing.  Cars must be safe and structurally sound and must pass an onsite safety and tech inspection.  More rules and specifications can be found in the SCCA Rule Book.

Exceptions to SCCA Rules -
We do not allow Karts at most of our events. 
ALL vehicles must have some sort of muffler. 

All drivers must have a valid drivers license.  Anyone under the age of 18 must also have a minor waiver signed by a parent or guardian. 

We do allow passengers as long as there is appropriate seat belts.  All passengers must also have a valid drivers license.  Any passenger under 18 years of age must also have a separate minor waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

All driver and passengers must have an approved helmet.  Some loner helmets are available but are in limited supply.  Loner helmets are only available for drivers and not passengers.

The is no restriction on clothing worn.  Be comfortable especially for long hot days.  The only exception is for those running open cockpit cars that must have a full face helmet for some sort of heavy eye protection - sunglasses do not count.

Currently ASCC and NORA do not allow Kart's of any kind at the event. As demand grows we will look into adapting Karts into our format.

 

Event Scoring and Special Classing

The Akron Sports Car Club season will consist of 12 points events. Your top 10 events will be scored and added together to compile your season class total score. You must compete in at least 8 events to be eligible for season point totals and awards.

Event points are awarded for the top ten spots in each class.

1st – 20
2nd – 17
3rd –
14
4th –12
5th – 10
6th – 8
7th – 6
8th – 4
9th – 2
10th – 1

Index Class:
All single car classes will be grouped into an Index Class were they will compete against each other based on the PAX index. An "I" will need to be placed on the car prior to running to show you are in the Indexed class. This will give everyone a competitor to compete against.

Pro Class:
Top drivers can compete in the "Pro" Class. Anyone competing this class will also run against the PAX index. You must place an "X" on your car to show you are running the Pro Class.

Rookie Class:
All Rookies and Beginners can also compete in a Rookie Class. This class in also run against the PAX index to accommodate various types of cars. An "R" will need to be placed on your car. After 3 events you can no longer compete in the Rookie Class. New people to autocross will also receive special instruction for the events.

Driver of the Year Award:
A special award will be handed out at the end of the season to the Driver of the Year. The DOY will be determined by a combined PAX total from all the regular points events and all classes. You must run 10 of the events to qualify and all 12 events will be counted toward your points total.

 

 

 
Car Numbers

Numbers must be a minimum of 8" high with a 1.25" stroke.
Class letters must be a minimum of 4" high with a 0.75" stroke.
In all cases, the height of the class letters must be between 25%
and 75% of the height of the numbers. Stroke width must be atleast 10% of the height.

Class/Number colors must be in contrast to vehicle color unless there is another contrasting background behind. No silver numbers on a gray car unless the numbers are on a black background.

Shoe polish on windows doors will not work any more. We have always had extra numbers and letters at registration for people to place on their car for $2.

Masking tape will no longer be acceptable to "write" numbers and letters on your car either. Basically, make your own or pay for ours.

All two driver cars must use the number "1" in front of the primary number to designate the second driver for the heat. T&S will only score the number on the car as it comes to the start line. If you forget to change your number, you will simply lose that run for yourself your co-driver. We can not spend 30 minutes when the event is over trying to sort peoples mistakes. We will try to warn you as best we can if T&S thinks you have the wrong number on to prevent it from happening again, but it is your responsibility to look after yourself.

Before you bring your car to Tech, you must have all of your class and numbers on both sides of the car. If they are hard to read, sloppy, or too small, you will not pass tech and will not be allowed to run till it is corrected.

Just taking care of the things mentioned above will actually speed our events up even more. Eliminate confusion for the spotters, workers, and timing people, cut down on reruns, and most importantly, make auditing the results at the end of the day much fast with far fewer mistakes. That alone can get us to the trophies almost 15 mins sooner.

We will also try to have extra magnetic letters for our special classes below. Please try to have your own. If we run out, then it will be up to you to get the right identification.
Rookies "R"
Index "I"
Pro Class "X"
