"Street Tires" are (by SFR definition) tires displaying a DOT treadwear
rating of 120 or greater.

Novices must run in their specified run group to be eligible for points.
Open class cars in your class will be running with you, so don't hesitate
to approach them for help, information, or rides.
-
Time Cards: The regular class (e.g., DS, CSP) plus an
N
(for Novice class) -- e.g. CS-N -- must appear on the class entry
on the time card for the event to ensure proper accrual of points.
Your mistakes here will NOT be corrected
after the event.
-
The Novice classes run with their matching open classes.
-
There are no separate Ladies' Novice classes. Ladies may run in
their regular Ladies' classes, naturally.
-
Trophies will be awarded to the winners of each Novice class at
the end of the year according to the SFR
Supplemental Regulations.
-
The Novice Class Administrator will verify eligibility of all entrants.
The
administrator can make appropriate adjustments to the class rules if necessary
to ensure fairness to all competitors.
