Drivers must drive in a safe and controlled manner at all times while on the event site. Speeds in the grid and pit area must remain at a “walking pace,” and any extreme driving maneuvers such as tire spinning or "skid pad loops" intended to heat tires before reaching the starting line of the course are expressly prohibited, and may result in forfeiture of a run, or in extreme circumstances, expulsion from the event. Furthermore, any extreme driving displays or unsafe driving behavior in the general area surrounding the event site including public streets are expressly prohibited, and may result in disqualification at the discretion of event officials.

There will be NO smoking or open flames allowed in grid or any other area where fueling may occur. Other areas may be designated no smoking at the discretion of event officials.

There is no minimum number of entrants required per class.  Class bumping will not occur in classes that have only one entrant.

Any entrant that damages the start or finish timing heads will be required to pay for the replacement of the damaged head. Approximate costs will be $25 for the reflector and $250 for the timing head.

Riders are allowed in competing vehicles. The riders must be at least 12 years old. The riders must also be wearing an approved, properly fitting helmet and seatbelt. All parts of the rider's body must remain inside the car while on course. If the rider is also competing, he or she can be protested for riding in another car if the rides are taken before the rider has completed all competition runs. If successfully protested, the competitor / rider may be penalized in an appropriate manner up to and including the forfeiture of all points awarded for that event. The only exception is for competitors who are eligible to compete in novice class. These novice autocrossers can ride at any time without loss of points. The purpose of this exception is to accelerate the learning process.  Minor (under 18) riders must have a properly executed (signed by BOTH parents) Minor Waiver on file.

Any potential entrant arriving after check-in has closed will not be permitted to run. Exceptions must be approved by the event chairperson. The check-in hours will be clearly posted on the event announcement. Pre-registration is required for all Summer Series Events. Potential entrants arriving without first having pre-registered will be allowed to run only with the approval of the event chairperson. The pre-registration times and dates will be posted on the RMSolo website and announced on the RMSolo email list.

The number of drivers per car in any heat will normally be limited to two at any single event.  Three drivers per car may be allowed, upon approval by the Event Chair.  Approval must be obtained by direct communication with the event chair, prior to registration for the event.

Approval to run three drivers per car does not guarantee all drivers will receive all prescribed runs.  The Grid Captain has the authority to cause a driver’s run to be forfeited, if allowing that driver’s run would unduly delay the event.  It is the drivers’ responsibility to effect driver changeovers quickly and efficiently so as not to cause an undue delay. The “five minute delay between runs” rule will remain in effect.

RMSS will use all of the nationally recognized Solo classes plus the following local classes:

Novice class

In addition to the standard SCCA classes, a Novice class will be available. Instead of competing only in Novice class, all Novice drivers will drive with and compete in their respective open class, and will be eligible for awards in those open classes. At the end of each event, a separate list of novice drivers will be created, sorted by index times, and novice awards will be awarded from this list. This means that a novice driver could conceivably receive awards in both novice and open class.

The intent of the novice class is to provide an additional incentive and reward for "novice" drivers. The novice class is indexed using the current indexes. The novice-class is open to any beginning driver who has competed for less than a full season. Once a competitor completes enough events in one season to qualify for an end-of-year award, they will no longer be eligible for Novice status.  A competitor can opt-out of novice class at any time. Novice status must be requested during registration for each event. If a Novice class competitor scores 940 points or more at 3 Summer Season events, they will no longer be eligible for Novice status, but will still be eligible for the year-end "Rookie of the Year" award.

X Class

In addition to the standard SCCA classes, an X-class will be available. The intent of the X-class is to provide competition for "more experienced" drivers by allowing them to compete in one indexed class. The X class is open to any competitor. Cars competing in X class should have ONLY their car number and index class designation (X) on each side of the car, not their open class designation. A competitor can move to X class at any time during the season, and their season points will be moved to X class. However, no points earned while driving in X class may be moved out of X class.

Women's Class

RMSolo provides a single indexed Women's class.

Women have the option of running in the indexed Women's class (W class), or running in open class, but not both.

Cars competing in the Womens’ class should have ONLY their car number and index class designation (W) on each side of the car, not their open class designation.

Street Tire Class

We have established a regional class for stock class legal vehicles running STS legal tires (DOT highway legal tires with a tread wear rating of 140 or higher) known as AT.

- AT is an indexed class open to drivers of any stock class legal car. Cars will be designated with  their car number followed by the class designation “AT”.

Any tire listed on the Street Touring tire exclusion list will not be allowed in AT.

Each class will be scored using the current RTP index, just as Novice, Women's and X class is currently scored. Drivers may compete in either their open Stock class or AT but not both.

Cars competing in AT class should have ONLY their car number and index class designation (AT) on each side of the car, not their open class designation.

Open Street Prepared

OSP vehicles must use DOT approved tires and be "street legal." RMSS will make no effort to verify legality in terms of Colorado laws; however, an OSP car must be something that could conceivably be registered and driven on public roads. For example, it must have a windshield (if originally equipped with one), DOT legal headlights, taillights, windshield wipers (where applicable) and a reasonable exhaust. This class encourages maximum creativity for cars that do not fit in the SCCA's other categories. OSP is indexed at 0.872.

In Street Prepared, RMSS will allow any wheel and tire combination for otherwise legal SCCA Improved Touring vehicles. Eligible vehicles will be in full compliance with the Improved Touring rule set, and may not take advantage of other Street Prepared category allowances.

Karts

Formula Jr. Karts will follow the rules for FJr. kart classes as printed in the SCCA Solo Rule book, and amended in the FasTrack section of Sports Car magazine.

FJr. classes are eligible for season Awards.  Awards will be distributed following the guidelines found elsewhere in these Supplemental Rules.

    -  Points will be scored and kept separately but using the same methodology described elsewhere in these Supplemental Rules.

FJr. Courses:

         -  Where a site permits, and the Solo Event Chair agrees, a separate course shall be setup just for the FJr. drivers.  The goal is to keep the interest of the FJr. drivers.

         -  FJr. course design and setup are the responsibility of the Youth Steward.

         -  The Youth Steward may draft workers to assist with course setup and operation.

         -  The Youth Steward will report these individuals to the Chief of Workers.

         -  FJr. drivers should help with course setup and tear down.

         -  The FJr. course will be approved by the Event Safety Steward.

         -  For Summer Series events, the first 4 runs will be timed and scored.

         -  Results will be provided to the T&S Chief for inclusion in the event results.

Considerations for Course Designers

Supplemental rules regarding course design for World Arena are available here.

Changes to Supplemental Rules

Supplemental Rules will be approved by the active Chief’s Team, and published by the Solo Chair(s) prior to the start of the Summer Points Season. Changes to the supplemental rules will be voted on (in person or electronically) by the Chiefs Team. A simple majority of those voting will determine the acceptance of any change.
