These regulations are intended to communicate the goals of the series and the rules governing these events. These rules document agreed upon "best practices" for conducting this series.

1. To provide all entrants with an inexpensive and fun way to compete in motor sports.
2. To provide less experienced drivers a low pressure means to gain experience.
3. To allow more experienced drivers to develop their vehicles and driving techniques.
4. To generate interest in the SCCA.

1. The Griffiss Series SCCA Solo II Program is conducted under the "Solo II Rules" as published annually by SCCA. These regulations shall not be interpreted in any way that invalidates the SCCA insurance.
2. All competitors must keep in mind that they are representatives of our sport and must set a positive example to other competitors, spectators, site owners/representatives, and the community in which the event is being held. The event chair may disqualify any competitor for conduct that is unsportsmanlike or dangerous both on and off the autocross site.
3. Exceeding 15 mph anywhere on the event site except while competing on course will result in immediate disqualification from the event.
4. All entrants and spectators must comply with requests and decisions made by event officials. Failure to do so will result in disqualification and removal from the site.
5. Entry is limited to one per driver at any Griffiss Series Championship event.

The cost of each event shall be $25 for non-SCCA members and $20 for members. These fees may be adjusted for financial reasons (e.g., high rental fee for a particular site or for a charity event) but the relative discount for members shall remain. Registration fees will be refunded to anyone failing tech inspection. Anyone registering after 9:15 am shall pay a $10.00 courtesy fee for the inconvenience.

EVENT SCHEDULE (unless otherwise announced)

Solo II events are amateur events organized by fellow entrants for the enjoyment of all. With entry comes the responsibility and requirement to share in the administration and work of the event. Accordingly, ALL entrants at Solo II events must complete work assignments that are assigned by the Worker Chief. An entrant may designate an alternate person to carry out his or her work assignment but the entrant is ultimately responsible for the completion of the work assignment. Failure to carry out the assigned task will result in disqualification for the event. Entrants who over the course of repeated events skip work requirements will be prohibited from competition in the Griffiss Solo II Series. Any person so prohibited may seek to be reinstated by writing a letter to the Series Chairperson.

1. At no time may drivers with less than five years experience combined autocross experience ride together.
2. Passengers are not allowed at any time unless approved by the event Solo Safety Steward.
3. Hand held cameras are not allowed inside an on-course vehicle during competition runs.
4. Failure to adhere to any of these requirements may result in disqualification.

All resulting bumped classes will be awarded event trophies as per the SCCA Solo II rules. A factored Ladies class and a factored Street Tire class will be offered. These classes may be entered at the option of those eligible to do so or the appropriate Open class may be entered. Eligible Tires for Street Tire class are based on the most recent SCCA Street Tire Class rules.

All protests shall be filed with the event chairperson in accordance with the SCCA.
