Getting Started

To ensure safety of all participants, all cars must pass tech inspection. At SCCNH we aren’t likely to bother you for small issues, but safety is always the top priority, fun is a close second.

• Safety Helmet: Must be approved by the Snell Foundation within the past 15 years which have a readable and genuine SA,M, or K Snell sticker attached to the inside of the helmet.
• Safety Belts: Firmly attached safety belts must be worn.
• Solidly Mounted Battery: The battery must be held down properly. If it can be moved at all, it will not pass.
• Legal Tires: The tires must have measurable tread, and must be in good condition. Excessive weather checks or visible cord/plies will fail inspection.
• Brakes: The brake pedal must be firm, with no loss of pressure when held down.
• Steering / Suspension: The steering must be tight, with no excessive play. Wheel bearings cannot have excessive play.
• Hub Caps and Trim Rings: Hub caps, trim rings and wheel covers must be removed, unless they are bolted to the wheel.
• Loose Items in Car: All loose items must be removed from the passenger compartment and trunk.
• Fluid Leaks: No excessive fluid leaks.
• Adequate Muffler: Must be quieter than 96db measured 50 feet from the course at a place where the car is under full throttle.
• Throttle: Accelerator pedal must have a return spring and operate freely.

Event results will be here within one week (usually within a day or so) following the event. Click the Results button below.

The top three positions in each class will be awarded a trophy or keepsake (at discretion of autocross director).

We keep track of the points that you accumulate throughout the year based on how you place at each event. This is kept track by your number. Therefore it is important that you use the same number and SCCNH class. If you are going to run in a different SCCNH class you need a different number. However, if you change SCCA classes but remain in the same SCCNH class you can use the same number. Starting at first place in class you get: 10,8,6,5,4,3,2 and everyone else gets 1. We count your best seven of the eight events. At the end of the year, SCCNH members receive awards based on placing in the top three positions of each class.

We use SCCA classing that are all indexed using the PAX/RTP modifiers. From these SCCA classes, SCCNH has created six (6) groups of classes. SCCNH also offers a Novice class for all newcomers to compete amongst one another. Upon registering, if you are unsure of your class, select “I don’t know” and we will help place you in the correct class when you check in.

Five of our classes are based on SCCA classes grouped by a close PAX modifier. This allows for closer competition around similar performance vehicles.

SCCNH’s classes are Class I through V:

• Class I – Highest performance class – includes SCCA classes: CSP, DP, BP, FP, SSM, XP, CM, DM, EM, FM, KM, BM, FSAE, AM
• Class II – includes SCCA classes: ASP, EP, CP, BSP, SSP, SM, JA
• Class III – includes SCCA classes: AS, JB, SS, FSP, STR, STU, CAM-S, ESP, SMF, DSP, SSR
• Class IV – includes SCCA classes: STS, STH, BS, HCR, STX, CAM-T, CAM-C
• Class V – includes SCCA classes: JC, HS, GS, ES, HCS, SSC, FS, DS, CS
• Exhibition – includes SCCA classes: XS-A, XS-B, EV, and others (restrictions apply).

The Novice class is open to drivers that have not been racing; including autocross, solo, HPDE and hillclimb; in the past 20 years and are driving a car that falls into one of the above classes.

This Index was developed by Rick Ruth and reflects study of results from well over 500 nationwide Solo events including, the Solo National Championships, National Tour, Alabama Region, many SCCA regions and many independent clubs like ours. This system is meant to allow different classes of cars to run together and be competitive. Your time is modified by multiplying it by the PAX/RTP index for your SCCA class. In theory this would allow a Honda Fit to fairly compete with a Porsche GT3.
