Park your vehicle next to the vehicle that arrived just before you (e.g.. not in the middle of the parking lot). We would like to have all cars parked in the order of arrival.

It is preferred to have 3 or more competitors in a group. If that is not possible within these guidelines, a group may be comprised of less than 3 competitors. If the competitor(s) in this group agree, they may at their option run in the next highest group regardless of the number of class bumps. The exception to this rule is the Modified class which cannot be grouped with any other class. Competitors will be bumped no more than one class to form a competitive group. Grouping will be performed by Timing & Scoring based on the registration information from Clubregistration prior to the event. It is important that the vehicle information is accurate and up to date upon registration Vehicles are placed in the appropriate stock class using the current Parade Competition Rules for Autocross. The Chicago Region has made some minor changes to these classes based on Region experience and participation numbers. Modifications providing a positive effect in performance will cause the vehicle to be bumped up to a higher class depending on the type and number of modifications. Competitors must compete in the class defined by the year, make and model of their car plus any bumping required by modifications. Year End Awards: The following point table will be used to calculate the finishing points for each event. At year end, the point totals for each competitor will be calculated and the top 5 (five) will receive year end awards for the season. General Notes: There must be at least a 5-minute cool down period between runs by a vehicle including re-runs. The competition will have two categories, Open for all participants and Women’s. Competitors must choose the category they will participate in prior to the start of the first event and must compete in that category for the remainder of the season. Participants who do not pre-register will compete in X-Class for that event and will be ineligible for an event award. PCA members will have their results integrated with the appropriate class at the end of the year for overall consideration. |
