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. 

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 3.3.3 of the Solo II rules. I strongly encourage every competitor to read 3.3.3 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 (for the first driver of a car; second driver is first number plus 100). 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. The inspection is done by your fellow competitors, not some higher authority.

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 Sacramento Chapter. If you have never experienced a Divisional Saturday night social dinner, then you are missing something. 

Work Group Swap:  Sacramento Chapter will be pioneering a new service to help long-distance travelers coming to our event.  We are asking local drivers to sign up and indicate whether they would be willing to work in the last group, pre-volunterring to swap and do the work assignment of someone who has a long drive home.  Travelers who would otherwise be assigned to work in the last group may contact the Swap Chief to find a volunteer worker replacement.  This swap arrangement is only for the last work group of the day.  The number of swaps we  can accomodate will depend on the number of local drivers who volunteer for the swap.  Note that key positions, such as timing & scoring, will be more difficult to accomodate, but we will do our best. 

Trophies will be awarded as per the Solo II rules. More details will be announced on this subject.
