2012 Holbert Charity Solo Event
Supplemental Rules:
Special Event: This charity event is a special 2-day solo event held under SCCA Solo Rules and hosted annually by the Philadelphia Region of the SCCA. This year’s charitable contribution in honor of Al Holbert will go to Warminster Community Park & the SCCA Foundation. In the past, this has been Philly Region’s biggest event of the year with more than 200 participants including some of the best solo drivers in the Northeast United States.
*Please note that Day 1 will be held at Warminster Community Park in Warminster, PA with Day 2 being held at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.
The Holbert Trophy: This event features a special “Holbert Trophy” for the driver whose combined best times from both days produces the lowest indexed time. The 2012 PAX index multiplier is posted at http://home.comcast.net/~paxrtp/rtp2012.html and will be applied to all drivers. Everyone has a chance to win the “Holbert Trophy.” Last year’s winner, Chase Eillis, will bring the Holbert Trophy back to determine who gets to take the Trophy home for 2012.
Class Trophies and Points: Class finishing position trophies will also be awarded for each day of competition, Saturday and Sunday, per our standard Philly Region Supplemental Rules.
Competitor Rules:
- Each competitor must compete in the same class both Saturday and Sunday. Running a different class on each day will disqualify that competitor from the Holbert Trophy award.
- Each competitor must compete with their respective class unless prior approval is obtained from that competitor’s fellow competitors in the same class. Should a competitor compete in a separate heat from their class run group without pre-approval from the other competitors in the class, that competitor will not be eligible for the Holbert Trophy now will class points be awarded.
- Competitors may not be a passenger in another competitor’s car prior to or during their respective run group. This also applies to instructors as well.
Passengers: During this event competitor passengers will NOT be permitted. Our novice drivers may still request to have an instructor ride will them, but co-drive passengers allowed under our normal Supplemental Rules will not be permitted.
