Junior Driver Policy

• At this site, CFR SCCA supports the SCCA Junior Driver Program for JA (12-18 years old) and JB (8-12 years old). CFR SCCA does not currently support JC (5-8 years old).
• All Junior Drivers (Unlicensed karters older than 8 and less than 18 years old) must be pre-approved by CFR SCCA in order to participate.
• For new Junior Kart participants, the parent MUST send an email to solo@cfrscca.org that includes the karter's name, age, and level of experience, as well as a complete description of the Kart. This can be a description of the driver's past events, or training within a kart if they have never participated in an event. If you have not done this step PRIOR to the event, the karter MAY NOT BE PERMITTED TO DRIVE.
• Also, refer to all of the following information SCCA Junior Driver Programming.
  • In the above linked materials, please note that Junior Driver karts must be legal for the class the driver is running in (JA or JB),
  • Also, the Kart must meet all of the safety items identified.
  • Jr Karters of age 12 and under must wear a SFI certified chest protector

PERMITTED VEHICLES

• All vehicles must pass technical inspection which includes but is not limited to:
  • Tires are not damaged and do not show cord.
  • Wheels are secure with all lug nuts present and properly torqued.
  • Battery is secure.
  • Body panels are secure.
  • Brakes work with firm pedal.
  • No loose items are present in the car.

CLASSES

• All karts being run at the Jr Kart School must comply fully with the class allowances for JA, JB, or JC.
• For classing information, see Section 19 of 2018 SCCA® National Solo® Rules, which define the classing categories, and the allowable modifications in each category.
  • Cars that are near stock will generally fall into Section 13 “Street Category”.
  • If you have modifications to your car, work down the sections from Section 13 to Section 19 to find the category that accomodates all of your car’s modifications.

Helmets

• All drivers must wear a SNELL 2005/2010/2015 (M or SA) approved helmet. Other European standards are also accepted. See 2018 SCCA® National Solo® Rules.
• If you do not own a helmet, we have loaner helmets available in exchange for your Driver’s License as collateral.
  • Pick these up at the timing trailer/tent prior to the heat you will be running.
  • In rare cases of high demand for loaner helmets, it may be required that you share the helmet with other competitors, or to turn in the helmet between your runs.

Sound Policy

• Our general sound policy will be the same as for SCCA Solo National events. The general limit is 100 dBa at 50 ft where the vehicle is expected to be at its loudest. See Appendix I of the 2018 SCCA® National Solo® Rules for details.
• The exact implementation for our regional events, will be somewhat different in that we will generally not have a dedicated sound position. If, in the opinion of the event officials, any vehicle might be in violation, the sound level for that vehicle will be measured on its next run, and the SCCA National rules will be imposed.
• Note: Directional exhaust tips aimed laterally away from the sound measurement station DOES NOT constitute a viable remedy, although directional exhausts may be used to aim the exhaust straight up, straight down, or straight back.

Payment Policy

• With our move to MotorsportReg.com for registration, we will authorize your credit card at the time of registration, but we will only charge your card after the event has completed.
• If you cancel your registration prior to registration cutoff on Motorsportsreg.com, (5:00 PM the day prior to the event), you will not be charged.
• If you cancel after that time, or do not show up for the event, you will be charged a fee of $10.
