LOCAL - Dixie SCCA Solo Championship Series Rules

4. Every driver must work a job at every event to receive a time.

5. All drivers are responsible to see that their cars are classed properly. There will be no reclassifying once the event has begun.

6. A driver with no Solo or autocross experience will be designated a "Novice" for a period of 12 months, beginning with the first event entered, or until they place first in their class, whichever occurs first. The novice with the fastest time will be recognized at each event.

Dixie Region Solo Championship (DRSCS)

1. To qualify for the Dixie Region Solo Championship Series:

   a. The driver must meet minimum SCCA qualifications for entering Regional Solo events.

   b. The driver must compete in at least 50 percent of the regular season Dixie Region Solo events (not including the Runoffs).

   c. The driver must be a member of SCCA at the time of the Runoffs. Trial Members and Temporary Members will not be eligible for the year-end championship awards. If a driver becomes a member before the Runoffs, all points accumulated in that calendar year will be counted toward the championship.

2. Regular season events will be held approximately monthly within the boundaries of the Dixie Region. A minimum of six regular season events per year must be held to award individual year-end class awards. If less than six events are held, the Region will only award the overall points champion.

3. Points per finish in each regular season event are awarded as follows: 1st:12 - 2nd:9 - 3rd:7 - 4th:6 - 5th:5 - 6th:4 - 7th:3 - 8th:2 - 9th:1

4. Bumping:

a .If a driver is bumped into a higher class, points will be awarded as follows: The bumped driver that comes in second will receive first place points in the car's regular class; third place will receive second place points, fourth will receive third place points and so forth.

b. If a driver in the higher class fails to beat a lower class car in a combined class, that driver will only receive points based on his or her actual finish.

5. The Dixie Runoffs are the last event of the season. The Runoffs will be held sometime between the second Sunday in November and the second Sunday in December. Double points will be awarded at this event, but it only counts as one event for meeting the requirement to enter 50 percent of the season events.

6. Year-end trophies and class titles will be awarded for every class in which a driver met the requirements. In the event of a tie, the driver with the most first place finishes will be the winner. If there is still a tie, the driver that beat the driver with whom he or she tied the most times will win the tie.

7. If a driver competes in all events in the series, the driver will be required to drop the points from one event.

8. Every driver must work a job at every event to qualify for points.
