This event will be held in the typical North Concourse Parking Lot at the Orange County Convention Center. This event will be a basic Test n Tune style event with a focus on maximizing distance between participants to comply with social distancing. There will be no official times or results and points will not be accrued towards the CFR Year End Points Championship. We will have timing running but the point of this event is to get out in the fresh air and have some #FunWithCars. With 75 minute heats I expect everyone should get plenty of runs.

This event will be split up into a morning and afternoon session. There are two groups in each session. Morning drivers will run/work the first two sessions then are free to leave. Afternoon drivers will run/work the afternoon groups and won't need to arrive until before their sessions. There will be a short break between the morning and afternoon groups for course walks. There will be no official lunch break. Waters will be provided although they will not be cold to comply with SCCA COVID-19 policies.

Face coverings will be required. No ridealongs unless the individuals live in the same household. Guests are discouraged to try and keep the total number of people on site low. There will only be 22 drivers per heat and therefore two-driver cars are encouraged to sign up for separate heats instead of trying to swap drivers to squeeze their runs in.

  • WORK ASSIGNMENTS: ALL SOLO COMPETITORS MUST WORK. Without everyones help, we cannot hold these events!
    • Check-in with the worker chief and go to your work assignment area promptly before the beginning of your assigned work heat.
    • If you do not work your work assignment, you will be disqualified from the event.
    • If you do not work your work assignment at multiple events, you will be banned from future participation with CFR SCCA Solo.
  • RAIN OR SHINE?:
    • Solo events occur whether it’s raining or shining.
    • Solo events will be suspended while lightning is in the immediate area, at which time participants and guests should shelter in a car or nearby building.
    • Extreme weather conditions may cause an event to be suspended or sometimes canceled, depending on the expected duration.
    • If an event is canceled, and you have not made any competition runs, you will not be charged an event fee. Unfortunately, if you have made any competition runs, we must still charge an event fee.
  • MANDATORY NOVICE COURSE WALK
    • A “Novice Course Walk” is mandatory for all novices; all other drivers are welcome.
    • This course walk will be conducted by one or our Senior Novice Instructors
    • This course walk will typically take place at about 9:15 AM, starting near the course start line.


 Junior Driver Policy

  • Unfortunately at this point in time the SCCA National Office has put the Jr Driver program ON HOLD.

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.
  • Vehicle must not be on the “Excluded from Street Category for reasons of Stability Per Section 3.1” list of the 2018 SCCA® National Solo® Rules.
  • For cars not specifically excluded on the above list, or specifically included in Appendix A, to be eligible, the vehicle must comply with the Stability requirements of Section 3.1 of the 2018 SCCA® National Solo® Rules.

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.
  • Loaner helmets are NOT AVAILABLE at this event due to COVID-19.

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.
