Due to staffing shortages, we will NOT be holding a CRE in conjunction with this event.
In an effort to relieve congestion at the front gate, registration will take place at the pavilion in the paddock on FRIDAY night only. Stop at the front gate, sign the GingerMan waiver, proceed to your paddock area and get set up. Then you and your crew MUST come to registration, sign in and get your wristband. Hours of registration will remain the same. All workers, drivers and crew MUST go through SCCA registration. Registration on Saturday and Sunday will be at the track gate.
All entrants/crew must either possess a SCCA Annual Waiver or sign the SpeedWaiver at the time of registration. Failure to have a SCCA Annual Waiver or sign the SpeedWaiver may result in penalties.

Event requirements
CLUB RACING DRIVER ELIGIBILITY: Drivers must be a current member of the SCCA and hold a SCCA Full Competition license to participate in this event. If you do not have the proper credentials it is your responsibility to contact the Registrar prior to the event.
WHEN YOU REGISTER, YOU WILL NOTE THAT THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $20 CHARGE FOR "RUNOFFS APPEARANCE FUND." THIS IS A MANDATORY FEE FOR ALL RUNOFFS ELIGIBLE CARS. The press release explaining the fee follows:
Recently approved by the SCCA Board of Directors, the Runoffs Appearance Fund is a modern version of the former “Tow Fund” that existed until 2015. It is a self-funded contingency program that will pay out to Runoffs participants who finish atop a Majors Tour conference points championship or in the Hoosier Racing Tire Super Tour points standings.
Deanna Flanagan, SCCA’s Road Racing Director, explained that the number of positions paid will be determined by the average car count per class throughout the U.S. Majors Tour season.
“The old tow fund had its flaws, but the premise behind it is something that has been missed based on the consistent requests for the program to return,” Flanagan said. “The commitment involved in racing for a championship is significant, and the Runoffs Appearance Fund recognizes those who have carried their success during the season into the National Championship event.
“Since the elimination of the tow fund, we have seen a smaller percentage of top points finishers compete at the Runoffs,” Flanagan continued. “The new program provides additional incentive and supports our goal of encouraging the best of the best to attend the Runoffs.”
