Cal Club SCCA Supplemental Safety Guidelines COVID-19 PUBLIC.pdf

Autocross, aka Solo, is a timed competition that challenges drivers to a course marked by cones laid out on an asphalt parking lot or a concrete aircraft runway. Safety is emphasized because cars enter the course one at a time and are spaced out to minimize risks to competitors and event workers. A key emphasis is placed on handling and car control, which breeds some of the most intense competition down to the hundredth or thousandth of a second! Learn more about us at solo2.com.

Cal Club Autocross is sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). The Sunday Autocross and Saturday Test n Tune are open to all SCCA members. If you’re not an SCCA member, do not worry. During the online registration process, you can buy a weekend membership that goes towards an annual membership should you decide to join later!

    • they have done at least ONE course walk; and
    • they will attend the Driver's meeting.

If you pre-register for the Sunday event only and do not attend, your credit card will not be charged. If you are registered for both Saturday and Sunday and do not attend Sunday, please email our treasurer at treasurer@solo2.com for a Sunday refund.  

How and What to Register For

You may register online for a discounted fee, or you may register on-site at the event for a higher fee. You can register in a class based upon your car and modifications, or you can register to run Time Only (if you register TO, you will not be able to choose when you run/work). A work assignment is required. 

An extra set of 4 runs (called X-runs) is available for purchase online or on-site for $25 (no additional work is required when you purchase X-runs). Your normal runs (in class or Time Only) must be purchased and completed prior to taking X-runs. X-Runs may be taken in the same group as your normal runs, but the group you take your x-runs in is based on first come-first serve during check-in at the event.  So you can have 8 runs on Sunday for only up to $60 if you pre-register! 

Free Fun Runs may be available in the afternoon after class competition is completed (provided we have a minimum number of drivers).

Saturday Test n Tune— May 15th

The purpose of Saturday is for drivers to test and tune setup changes. There is no live timing on Saturdays, and the times are not audited or posted online like they would be for Sundays (but you will get time slips). We encourage those looking for practice and seat time to come out on Sundays, do 8 runs (including X-runs) for up to $60, and then sticking around after for more Free Fun Runs. Better yet, do both days! 

Saturday space is capped to ensure a lot of runs, so be sure to register early for your best chance at acceptance. Registering for the event late DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR ENTRY. However, once you are on the confirmed entry list, your entry is then guaranteed. To avoid confusion once the practice sells out, we have added a new 'Waitlist Saturday' registration option. If the Test n Tune is sold out by the time you register, the only registration open will be for the waitlist. Annual Number holders receive early registration email for Saturday. 

The Details 

• People usually get 12 runs
• Work assignment is required
• Bring water and snacks

This membership is good for the entire weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. Your first two weekend membership can also go towards an annual SCCA membership should you decide to join later! Some restrictions do apply. See https://www.scca.com/pages/member-benefits for details.

Social Distancing Guidelines

It is very important that everybody cooperates with us with regards to our COVID-19 guidelines so we can keep putting on these autocross events during the pandemic. We believe as long as everybody cooperates, we can stay safe and continue to race! We certainly do not want to lose the site!

Please read this section carefully as it is a summary of Cal Club's COVID-19 Guidelines. 

1. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 30 days, you MUST have a subsequent negative test in order to attend the event. If you have tested positive within the last 30 days and do not have a negative test or have not been re-tested again, please cancel your registration and your fees will be refunded. 
2. If anybody in a car is tested with a fever over 100.3'F, everybody in the same vehicle will be denied entry and registration will be refunded. Temperature will be taken at the gate. Please do not come with a fever or if you are feeling ill. Please check your temperature before you leave your house.
3. You must use face coverings at all times when you are unable to socially distance 6ft away from others. We will be stepping up our enforcement of this rule during this coming weekend in light of the developing situation in LA County. 
4. Please do not ride as a passenger or "car hop" unless you are co-driving or live within the same household this weekend. We are currently strongly discouraging ride-alongs and taking on passengers. If somebody asks to ride along, please refuse. We will be advising our instructors not to ride along at this time. Co-driving of vehicles will be limited to household members and/or registered and consenting co-drivers. 
5. One 18+ crew-member allowed per registered entry. At the gate, your crew must identify himself or herself as "crew member of" the registered participant. The Speedway clarified that only crew members are allowed on site but not spectators.
6. Participants are required to bring their own PPE (eg. face covering, hand sanitizer, and gloves). We will have a hand washing station available for everyone to use. There will be hand sanitizer in the port-a-potties. 
7. No loaner helmets will be available. Please bring your own valid Snell approved helmet. This will be checked at Tech as usual. 
8. No Hospitality Tent. Cal Club will not put up its usual Fun Tent in order to discourage group gathering. However, we will have iced water available. 

Cal Club will be monitoring the social distancing practices throughout the weekend. If you refuse to adhere to our guidelines, we reserve the right to ask you to leave the site. Thank you for your cooperation! 

Driving Directions

Exit 210 or 10 freeways at Cherry, then head South (from the 210) or North (from the 10). You will see the large entryway gate. Tell the guard you are with the SCCA, they will tell you which lot we are in (usually we're in Lot 6). 

Hand Wash Stations

We have taken the precaution of renting (3) handwash stations for the weekend in addition to the usual port-a-potties. We've also confirmed with the vendor that hand sanitizer will be filled up in all of the portable restrooms. We ask that if you are experiencing cold/flu like symptoms, please consider staying home and joining us at a future event.
