About the Divisional
Why are Divisional Solo II events held in each division?
-
One reason is to promote inter-regional competition and camaraderie within
the Solo community.
-
The second reason is for meeting the National Solo II entry requirement
as specified in section 4.2.E of the Solo II rules.
-
Another reason is to help prepare/familiarize the competitor with the method
of how the Solo II Nationals event is conducted in Topeka.
This will be a great opportunity for you SFR rookies to experience what
a national caliber event is like if you choose to attend the Solo II Nationals
in Topeka sometime in the future. Also, the event will help you to gauge
your driving skill level with national level drivers in your respective
class.
SFR Rookie, SFR Pax, and Street Tire classes will be allowed
to compete with their Open or Ladies classes, and are eligible for event
trophies and divisional points in the Open class, as well as SFR series
points in the SFR class. The SFR Open Street Prepared class Will run in
class, but are not eligible for Divisional Points.
Another factor in administering/hosting the divisional event, all entrants
are required to pre-register and must be current SCCA members. A
non-member may sign up by completing membership application and your membership
application may be attached to your event entry. See the online
registration form.
Another important subject is the Tech Inspection. All safety
related items will be inspected for compliance with section 3.3.C of the
Solo II rules. I strongly encourage every competitor to read 3.3.C of the
Solo II rules in order to prepare you for the inspection. There are only
two tech inspection sessions. They are the same time periods as the registration
sessions. After you complete the tech inspection a tech inspection sticker
will be affixed to your car. You must have the tech inspection sticker
in order to run.
Car numbering is very important for timing & scoring. Numbers
higher than 99 will not be allowed. Also, you will only be allowed no more
than two drivers per car in the same class. The ladies class entrants do
not count with the open class. In otherwords, one car will be allowed to
have a maximum of two drivers in the open class and the same car will be
allowed to have a maximum of two drivers in the respective ladies class.
All cars will run in numerical order in their respective class and with
their class.
The grid procedure will be different than a local SFR regular
series event. Every driver/car will be assigned a home spot on the grid.
This will be your home spot for both days. Information on the grid home
assignments will be provided at the event. You will be required to return
to your assigned spot after each run and this includes after your last
run of the day.
Each competitor will be required to submit to an impound inspection
at the conclusion of their run group. After the run group is completed
you will be escorted to the impound inspection area for a thirty minute
period.
Please don’t feel intimidated by the format of the event. A divisional
is truly is pleasurable experience and you will have fun and learn a lot.
Your entry fee will include a party
hosted by the SFR Fresno Region. If you have never experienced a Divisional
Saturday night social dinner, then you are missing something.
Trophies will be awarded as per the Solo II rules. In addition
to awarding trophies to class winners, trophies will be awarded to rookies
based on their performance against their fellow rookie drivers. More details
will be announced on this subject. |
