  4. Weather:   These events will not be run in heavy rain. The nature of a clay/dirt surface is that severe ruts will develop and could cause damage to the underside of unprotected vehi-cles. Deep ruts could also cause a sliding vehicle to dig and roll. A rain date has been set for the day after the scheduled date, unless specified. If in doubt, access the website www.flr-scca.com, or contact the RallyCross Chairman before leaving for the event.

At registration, please sign the waiver, fill out the entry form, sign up for a car number and receive your scorecard. Registration fee includes after-event hospitality.
  7. Entry:  The entry will be limited to 50 entries. Preference to entry will be given to those who volunteer to help organize the events and to help maintain the course.
  8. Tech Inspection:  When you arrive, go to Tech first, in the service area and will be similar to a Solo inspection. Tech Inspector will have the Tech forms. A Snell M95 or newer helmet is required. Loaner helmets will be available courtesy of the Finger Lakes Region Solo program. The Event Chairman has the right to disallow an entry FOR ANY REASON. If the tech inspection reveals any unsafe condition that cannot be fixed, the competitor will not be allowed to run. High center of gravity vehicles will not be allowed to run. Exceptions to any of these provisions must be approved by the RallyCross Chairman and the Safety Steward prior to the day of the event.
  9. Classes:  
    The classes for this event will be:  
    STREET - O4, O2 , U2
    MODIFIED - O4, O2, U2
    RALLY - O4, O2, U2

    The STREET category includes stock production vehicles with no allowed modifications from OEM. These cars are basically in the same configuration as delivered from the factory. DOT approved street tires are required (no Performance Rally tires permitted).

    The MODIFIED category includes stock production vehicles with any modification al-lowed. DOT approved street tires are not required.

    The RALLY category includes any vehicle that has an SCCA, Rally America, or CARS vehicle logbook.

    O4 is defined by the SCCA RallyCross classes for Open and PGT 4wd.
    O2 is defined by the SCCA RallyCross classes for G5 and PGT 2wd.
    U2 is defined by the SCCA RallyCross classes for G2 and P.

  10. Scoring:  The score will be the total time of all runs. Timing will be to the 100th of a minute. There will be at least 4 runs, weather permitting. Scoring will be conducted at the house. Times will be radioed by the start and finish workers to the scoring workers. At the end of each run, the hard copy of the start and finish logs will be collected and used to verify the scores. The scores will be posted on the Official Notice Board located in the service area. Scoring questions must be addressed to the RallyCross Chairman.
  11. Start Order:  Car number order. If there are multiple drivers for a single vehicle, we will assign car numbers that allow sufficient time to do the driver swap.
  12. FTC (Finish Time Control):  The FTC location is shown on the course map and is denoted by a clock sign. The worker will write the finish time on the competitor scorecard.
  13. Service Area (Paddock):  The service area is shown on the course map. Please enter and exit the service area as shown on the map to prevent traffic problems. Speed limit in the service area is 5 mph.
  14. Spectator areas:  There are two designated spectator areas shown on the course map. The SPECTATOR AREA is outlined with straw bales. Please access this area by walking straight out from the ATC, along the white markers, parallel with the start straight. The SPECTATOR MOUND is in the back yard of the house. Please walk along the road and then along the mowed yard to access this viewing area. Please stay on the mound and do not get too close to the course. All individuals in spectator areas must have signed a waiver.
  15. Course Safety:  There will be a course marshal positioned on the SPECTATOR MOUND who will give a course clear message, via radio, to the start worker. The SPECTATOR MOUND is the only location that can view the entire course. Two cars will be on the course at the same time. In dry conditions, the course will be 1:30 to 1:45 minutes long. The starter will try to start one car every minute unless the course clear message is not received.
  16. Penalties:  Hitting and significantly moving a course marker .10 min. Off course will result in a fixed (bogey) time for the run 3.00 min. If double runs are used, the OC penalty will also be doubled. Failure to work for each run OC penalty per work missed.

    Off-course is defined as failure to negotiate all course markers in order. If a competitor leaves the course during a run, the competitor must re-enter the course at the same location and complete the run in order to not be off course.
  17. Caledonia Road:  Please do not park on, or block, the road in any way. We do not want to sensitize the locals any more than we already are!
  18. Dusty Conditions:  If the course is dry and dusty, and the wind is coming out of the south such that we are dusting the neighbor’s house, we will modify the course as necessary. The neighbors are cool with this RallyCross course but they deserve our respect for their prop-erty and safety.
  19. Course Walk Through:  The course walk-through time is published in the schedule. We have de-rocked the course but it is a never-ending battle. All of the rocks under the deck at the house came from the course! Competitors are encouraged to pick rocks and place them at the inside of the apex markers for collection at a later time. Please do not throw rocks elsewhere into the field, as we may have to change the course someday! Rocks may be thrown into the woods, however place them at the inside of the apex markers for collection at a later time.
  20. Official Notice Board:  The official notice board will be located in the Service Area. It will be used to post the insurance and sanction certificate, post scores and relay any special in-formation such as course changes.
  21. Bathroom:  Participants and volunteers are invited to use the bathroom in the house. Use the back door on the deck. It is the first room on the left.
  22. Competitor Work Assignments:  All competitors are required to work a position for every run they make. See the worker coordinator for worker assignment.
  23. Course Condition:  Due to the nature of loose surfaces, the course condition will change throughout the event. This situation may even necessitate a course change during the event if an unsafe condition arises. The RallyCross Chairman and/or Safety Steward has the right to change the course, AT ANY TIME, during the event to maintain a level of safety. As in Performance Rally, there is no guarantee that all competitors will have the same course conditions.
  24. You must return all loaned equipment, including car numbers, radios, clocks, etc. or you will be removed from the final results of the event.
