Parallel women's classes run with each open class, please put an L after the class on your run card if you intend to run in the Ladies class. Classes listed are the same as SCCA National classes with the exception of Vintage Stock (VS), Vintage Street Prepared (VSP) for cars over 25 years old, and OSP (Open Street Prepared) open to any car that does not fit in a regular Street Prepared category and must be street register-able.

Tech and Registration will be open at 7:45 AM until 2:00 PM.  Please plan to arrive early enough to get registered, walk the course and your car teched prior to your run time. 1st grid is inverted, first car on parks in back, cars after the first car park in front until line is full, then start next line. After 1st run, two driver and single driver lines will be established.  All tech inspection will be done on grid. We use a two grid system where you bring your car to grid while the group previous to your run group is running on the other grid. Once on grid, you will be teched and you are then in position and ready to run with your group. You risk forfeiture of points & trophies if your car is not on grid before it closes. You must run with your class to qualify for trophies. All drivers must work the event or you will not qualify for trophies or year end points. You may run out of group for no points, please put FUN RUN on your card to indicate you have run out of group. All drivers must have a valid driver's license. Drivers under 18 must have a signed parental waiver and license or permit.
