Novice Class Rules
-
Novice Class is intended for beginning autocrossers. You are
NOT eligible for the Novice class if you have:
-
competed in more than 33% of any prior year's events
(e.g., for the
2006 series: Championship series plus Slush series equals
20 events; 33% is less than
7
events. You
are ineligible if you ran
7
or more events in 2006 in any class.)
-
earned any regular season trophies (Regional, Divisional, Tour, Nationals)
-
earned any Championship season trophies for any Novice Class (except event trophies
or special competition trophies)
-
earned a Winter Slush first place trophy (unless as the only eligible competitor in
the class)
-
been judged ineligible by the Novice Class Administrator or Solo Program
Chair (see below)
-
Autocross experience from another region and otherwise qualify -- give the real
novices a break!.
-
There is a novice class
for each Stock, Street Prepared, Street Touring, and Street Modified open class.
There are no Modified or Prepared category Novice Classes
-
Only cars fitted with "Street Tires" may run in Novice Stock, Street
Prepared, Street Touring, or Street Modified classes, including CSP-N.
"Street Tires" are (by current SCCA definition) tires displaying a DOT treadwear
rating of 140 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.
-
Car Identification: The regular class (e.g., DS, CSP) plus an
N
(for Novice class) -- e.g. CS-N -- must appear on both sides of your car according to SCCA standards to
ensure that timing and scoring can correctly associate your times with you.
-
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.
