Rules

- Helmets are required
- Must be Snell, SFI, or FIA approved. Link to approved helmet certifications.
- A limited number of loaner helmets will be available. If there are not enough for everyone you will be required to share.
UTV Entrants
- All UTVs must conform to the SCCA rules, including driver containment, tire sizing, and vehicle ride height.
Tire Restrictions
- To reduce the risk of unnecessary damage to the racing surface through the use of overly aggressive tires, the following restrictions will be enforced.
- Studded tires (including tires with DOT studs) are not permitted.
- Deep lug mud/swamp tires are not permitted.
- Factory installed style UTV or truck tires (generally no more than 1” tread depth) are allowed but no deep mud specific tires will be allowed.
- Judgment of tire suitability will be made by race officials.
Tech Inspection
- All preregistered competitors must complete and present their dated Self Tech form during the tech inspection time of the event so tech inspectors can review and spot check vehicles.
- Competitor vehicles will be inspected to verify that they are in proper working order and safe for competition use. Generally, vehicles safe for highway use are acceptable.
- No vehicle will be allowed to participate without the safety/tech inspection sticker displayed on the driver’s side edge of the windshield/roll cage. Vehicles with major fluid leaks will not be permitted.
- A tech inspector, event chairperson, or RallyCross director reserves the right to refuse any vehicle or safety equipment that does not meet these requirements.
Unsafe Vehicle Restrictions
- Rollovers are a very real possibility in RallyCross and are more prevalent with certain types of vehicles and poor vehicle conditions. To combat this possibility and allow us to run safe events that can be ensured the following restrictions are put into place.
Height vs. Width Restriction
- Competitor vehicles must be at least 95% as wide as they are tall. Width is the track width of the vehicle measured from the center of the tire to the center of the tire, and height is measured from the ground to the highest point on the roof. The width must be 95% of the height measured at the highest point of the roof on both axles.
