Passengers will not be permitted in any vehicle while it is on course,
except instructors designated by the club.

Drivers under the age of 18 must present a notarized minor release/waiver
form signed by your parent(s)/guardian(s) at registration, or bring a parent
along to sign the paperwork at the site in front of the registrar.  E-mail
the Solo Staff, nyrsolo@gmail.com or call 516.312.4494 to have the form
mailed out to you in advance of the event.

Any person at or near the event site will be required to sign the
insurance waiver and obtain a wristband, whether or not they are
competing, serving as crew, or watching the event and only staying
for a minute.  Anyone who refuses to sign the insurance waiver will
be asked to leave the site immediately.

Car Numbers:  We will be running our events with unique car numbers at

              every event.  That means that there will only be one car #777.
              Whatever car number you were assigned at your first event of
              the season will be reserved for you all year, and changing car
              numbers or classes mid-season may cause loss of accumulated
              season points.

              Car numbers 0-399 are reserved for annual SCCA members.
              Novices must use car numbers 700-999.  Anyone who competed
              in enough events last year to qualify for season points
              is guaranteed their same car number for the current season,
              as long as they register for the first event of the year.

Novice Class: We will be running a season-long novice class and championship
               series, sponsored by JnJ Associates.  Scoring will be based on the PAX/RTP index for all entrants.

Pro Class:    NYR will be offering a voluntary Pro class, scored on the
              PAX/RTP index.

Formula Junior: We currently do *not* offer a Formula Junior class, only
              because we do not have an adult volunteer to be the Youth
              Steward as required by the SCCA's rules.  If someone wants
              to step forward and serve as the Youth Steward, we will gladly
              start our Formula Junior program up again.

Geezer Class: We will be running a season long class for drivers aged 55 and above. This class will compete from multiple classes via PAX/RTP indexing. The aim of this is for drivers who will not be driving in cars prepared to the full allowances of their respective class. Or a driver not driving for the goal of Nebraska wood. Inclusion in this class is by request, nomination, or  protest, and then approval by fellow "competitors" in Gezeer class.
 

 2011 Season Points:

     1) In order to create competition for season championships, drivers will compete in our 6 major   Solo classifications. Multiple low entrant classes will compete against each other via the PAX/RTP index. If a subclass reaches 5 entrants on Wednesday night(23:59 EST) before an Event, that class will bump out into it's own class with its own trophies. If that class can bump out for 4 events, it will elegible for season points.

          Stock - SS, AS, BS, CS, DS, ES, FS, GS, HS
          Street Touring - ST, STS, STX, STU, STR
          Street Prepared/Street Mod - ASP, BSP, CSP, DSP, ESP, FSP, SM, SSM, SMF
          Prepared/Modified - XP, CP, DP, EP, FP, GP, AM, BM, CM, DM, EM, FM, F125, FSAE
          Ladies  - all classes
          Novice  - all classes
          Geezer - all classes 
 

     1a) Nationally recognized classed will be able to bump out of the above points structure if 5 or more drivers compete in that class. Event trophies will be available if there are 5 or more drivers listed in the event regisration as of the end of the Wednesday night before the event.

The benefit of the structure of the large indexed classes allows ll be able to change vehicle classes between
       events without messing up their season's points if they would like to,
       as long as they drive another vehicle in the same category.

    2) Only annual SCCA members will accumulate season points, except for
       novices who accumulate points without regard to membership status.

    3) One event will be dropped for season points.

    4) Must have competed in 1/2 of the season's event in a class
        to qualify for an end-of-season trophy.  (In 2011, this is
        4 of our 8 points events.)

    5) In the event of a tie, the last event will count as double points.

    6) Points awarded as follows: 1st = 9 points; 2nd = 6 points; 3rd = 4 points;
       4th = 3 points; 5th = 2 points; 6th+ = 1 point

7) Points for Driver of the Year will be based off of the PAX10000 scale. (PAX driver time/PAX FTD)x10000 = event points

2011 NYR SCCA MirrorKhana Event Rules

1. AM heats will be for season points and MirrorKhana seeding. Seeding will be done by PAX time in two brackets in reverse order if 36 or more people participate, i.e. 34 vs 32, winner to drive against 30, winner to drive against 28 and 33 vs 31 winner to drive against 29, winner to drive against 27. If less than 36, a single bracket will be used.
2. The course will turned into a loop. The Start and finish area will be connected. First driver back to their own start advances.
3. If you elect to participate in the MirrorKhana, you must work in the afternoon. Failure to work will result is DSQs for your AM times.
4. There will be a 30 minute break for course walks of the new section between the end of the 2^nd heat and the Mirrorkhana drivers meeting.
5. The MirrorKhana will be double elimination.  After the first loss, a 2^nd bracket will be formed in the same fashion. 1^st loser vs. 2^nd, then vs. 3^rd.
6. If a driver opts out of the MirrorKhana competition, that slot will be considered a bye and the other driver will have a “free run”. This “free run” may be paired up with a “free run” from the other bracket.
7. There will be no timing equipment for the MirrorKhana. There will a grace of 2 cones allowed per run.  Hitting more than 2 cones will be a DNF. Lowest number of cones trumps +3 or more OR an OFF Course. If you catch up to your opponent on course, you win.
8. PAX class handicap: Faster classes will have more of a handicap. The handicap will be 4 parking spot widths per following group:
   1. AM, BM, FSAE, F125
   2. CM, DM, EM, FM, XP
   3. DP, FP, SM, SSM
   4. CP, EP, ASP
   5. SMF,BSP, CSP, SS
   6. DSP, ESP, AS, STU
   7. GP, FSP,STR, STX, CS
   8. ES, FS, ST, STS
   9. DS
   10.  GS, HS
       1. So an ESP car would start 16 spaces further back than an HS car and have to Finish at the Start line.
9. Cars will be release by manual start. Drivers will give the OK that they are ready.
