INTRODUCTORY SECTION
I.1 SOLO® EVENTS
I.1.1 Definition
A Solo® Event is any event (where an event is considered to be an
entire program of competitions) in which one automobile at a time is
timed over a clearly defined course, with elapsed time and appropriate
penalties for course deviations being the determining factor for awards.
This shall not preclude the running of more than one car at a time, pro-
vided they are separated on course by adequate time and distance to
eliminate any possibility of a passing situation.
I.1.2 Revision of the Solo® Rules
The SCCA® may revise these rules or issue supplements to them at
any time, via Tech Bulletins in the official SCCA® publication and/or on
the official SCCA® website (www.scca.com). All supplements will have
a published effective date.
If circumstances create a situation where a rule clarification or change
is found necessary to be implemented immediately, the SCCA® Board
of Directors may issue a memorandum stating the change and its effec-
tive date. These memorandums will be posted on the SCCA® website
and published in the official SCCA® publication.
I.1.3 Replacement of the Solo® Rules
Effective on January 1 of each year, all previous editions of the Solo®
Rules will be superseded by the current edition. No revisions previously
published in the official SCCA® publication or on the official SCCA®
website (www.scca.com) will remain in effect unless included in the new
edition of the Solo® Rules.
I.1.4 Solo® Event
A Solo® Event is a non-speed driving skill contest such as, but not limit-
ed to, autocrosses and slaloms. These events are run on short courses
that emphasize the driver’s ability and the car’s handling and agility.
Competition licenses are not required and hazards to spectators, partic-
ipants, and property do not exceed those encountered in normal, legal
highway driving. All Solo® events must be sanctioned by the SCCA®,
Inc. The Solo® Rules are mandatory for use in SCCA® Solo® National
Tour and National Championship events and standards set forth in the
Solo® Rules must be adhered to by all SCCA® Regions who organize,
sponsor, co-sponsor, or sanction a Solo® Event.
While the right to protest in proper cases is undoubted, it should be re-
membered that Solo® events are sporting events to be conducted in a
sporting spirit, that all events are organized and managed by amateurs
who cheerfully give their time and do their best, that the competitor may
expect some imperfections of the organizers and of his fellow com-
petitors, and that, to a reasonable extent, these things are part of the
chances he takes in entering the competition.

Variety of Value Evolving Rules
Competition in a
Experiences Planned Manner
Each topic before the SEB is compared to these core values to ensure
an overall positive effect. It is recognized that an individual decision
may at times result in a disadvantage or increased cost to some individ-
ual members, but that the decision reached is based on the long-term
benefit for the majority of the members.
I.3 SOLO® development coordinator
I.3.1 Membership
Solo® Development Coordinators (SDCs), one per SCCA® Division,
are appointed annually by the Solo® Events Board (SEB), subject to
approval by the SCCA® Board of Directors (BOD). Current appointees
are listed on the SCCA® website (www.scca.com), published in the cur-
rent edition of the SCCA® Directory, published in an early current-year
issue of the official SCCA® publication, or available from the SCCA®
National Office.
I.3.2 Responsibilities
Solo® Development Coordinators are responsible to the SEB as fol-
lows:
A. Serve as a resource to Regions within the Division to assist them
with program challenges, including but not limited to growth/expan-
sion, operational matters, site acquisition/maintenance, communica-
tions, pormotion, and training/educational opportunities.
B. Maintain liaison with the SCCA® National Office, the SEB, Divisional
Solo® Safety Steward, and other appropriate Division Officials, in-
cluding Division Meeting organizers.
C. Notify SCCA® Solo® Department of the dates of any Inter-Regional
Solo® events and the organizational structure of the program.
D. Serve as a resource to the SCCA® National Office and the SEB to
share and propagate best practices as developed and performed by
the Regions within the Division.
SOLO® RULES
1. SOLO® EVENTS
1.1 MANDATORY PROVISIONS
Sections 1 (except 1.5), 2.0 (except 2.3, 2.7, and 2.8), 3.1, 3.3 (except
3.3.3.A), 3.6, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, and
5.11 are mandatory in all SCCA® Solo® Events that an SCCA® Region
solely or jointly organizes, conducts, sanctions, or otherwise cooper-
ates as a Region in organizing. The titles of mandatory sections are
underlined herein. At events where kart classes (KM, JA, JB, JC) are of-
fered, Sections 2.7 and 2.8 are mandatory. Vehicle classifications (e.g.,
Section 3.2) are not mandatory. Regions should use classing struc-
tures which are best for the development of their programs. However,
Regions may not allow faster karts per age group than those already
described in Section 19. National vehicle classifications are located in
Appendix A of these rules. Suggested optional classes and rules are
located in Appendixes A, G, and H. The entire SCCA® Solo® Rules are
mandatory for SCCA® National Solo® Events. Additional rules govern-
ing the SCCA® ProSolo® National Series are in Section 20.
1.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS
1.2.1 Solo® Event
A Solo® Event is an automobile competition in which one car at a time
negotiates a prescribed course, with finishing position based on the
time required to complete the course plus any penalties incurred. Where
course conditions permit, more than one car may be on course at a time
if they are separated by adequate time and distance. A Solo® Event is a
non-speed driving skill contest such as, but not limited to, autocrosses
and slaloms. These events are run on short courses that emphasize car
handling and agility rather than speed or power. Competition licenses
are not required and hazards to spectators, participants, and property
do not exceed those encountered in normal, legal highway driving. All
Solo® Events must be SCCA® sanctioned.
1.2.2 Autocross
An autocross is an event generally held on a paved, flat surface, wherein
the course typically consists of straight sections and connecting turns or
corners, generally resembling a miniaturized road course. The course
layout should be such as to emphasize car handling, driver skill, and
maneuverability rather than performance. The course is generally well
enough defined so that memory is not required to remain on course.
1.2.3 Slalom
Slalom typically refers to an event similar to an autocross, though the
term may also refer to one particular serpentine portion of an autocross
layout.
1.2.4 Entrant
An entrant is a person who has completed the necessary requirements
that are not in the acceptable range are. This chart is for all vehicles
not specifically listed in Appendix A.
The measurements are to be taken from the ground to the tallest
point of the vehicle for the Overall Vehicle Height and the normal
track measurement as stated in Section 12.5 for the Average Track
Width.
The SEB may use Static Stability Factor (SSF) for classing new ve-
hicles. SSF is defined as ½ track width (T) divided by the height of
the center of gravity above the road (H) and can be calculated by the
formula SSF=T/2H. Vehicles with an SSF of less than 1.30 should
not be permitted to compete in Solo® events due to the higher risk
of rollover.
B. Physically disabled drivers may use alternate vehicle controls and
preparation items appropriate for the nature of their disability. In the
case of a driver using alternate controls, extra care should be taken
to ensure that the driver does have adequate control of the vehicle
and that the control mechanisms can stand up to competition use. A
waiver from the SCCA® Solo® Department is required for the use of
such equipment in National Solo® events. Requests will be handled
on a case-by-case basis.
3.2 VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION
New car makes, types and models will be classified by the SEB as soon
as sufficient information is available to do so. The SEB may reclassify a
car within the 12-month period following its initial classification, without
the approval of the Board of Directors. “Initial classification” includes
the addition of a new listing on an exclusion list. Initial classification is
inclusive of a new listing on an exclusion list.

3.3 VEHICLE SAFETY
3.3.1 Driver Restraints
Seat lap belts are required in all cars, and must be installed in cars with
passive restraint systems that do not include a lap belt. Installation and
the use of shoulder belts or harnesses is strongly recommended, how-
ever non-factory upper body restraints may only be used in open cars,
cars with targa-tops in the open position, or cars with T-tops in the open
position when two conditions are met:
A. The roll structure must meet either the requirements of Appendix C
or the Club Racing General Competition Rules (GCR) 9.4.
B. The top of the roll structure may not be below the top of the driver’s
helmet when the driver is in the normal driving position.
3.3.2 Roll Bars
Roll bars or roll cages are strongly recommended in all cars. A roll bar
meeting the requirements of Appendix C or a roll cage meeting the re-
quirements of the Club Racing General Competition Rules (GCR Sec-
tion 9.4, Roll Cages For GT And Production Based Cars, and/or GCR
Section 9.4.5, Roll Cages For Formula Cars and Sports Racing Cars)
is required in all A Modified (AM), B Modified (BM), C Modified (CM),
and F Modified (FM) vehicles and all open cars in Prepared Category,
D Modified (DM) class, and E Modified (EM) class. For open cars in the
Street, Street Touring®, Street Prepared, and Street Modified catego-
ries, the roll bar or roll cage height may be reduced from Appendix C or
GCR 9.4 requirements to the highest possible height which fits within
an installed factory-specified hardtop or convertible top. The roll bar or
roll cage height may also be reduced in the same manner for cars in
the Prepared category with a full original equipment windshield assem-
bly and a standard (as defined herein) hardtop which has been bolted
securely in place.
Double-hoop roll bars must fasten properly to the chassis/unibody as
required by Appendix C, particularly at attachment points in the center
of the car.
3.3.3 Safety Inspections
All vehicles must pass safety inspection on the following points prior
to competing. Entry fees, if already paid, will be refunded if a car fails
to pass safety inspection. Safety inspection is not concerned with the
legality of a car.
The organizing Region may at its discretion provide an advisory inspec-
tion for vehicle classification and legality, in connection with technical
inspection.
A. Annual Inspection (optional)
An Annual Safety Inspection for a calendar year may be available
for vehicles presented for inspection by an SCCA® member. When
a vehicle has completed the requirements for an Annual Safety In-
spection, an official Annual Tech card will be issued to allow Regis-
2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules — 35
3. Vehicles
tration or other designated event officials to verify Annual Tech prior
to the start of competition. An official Region SCCA® Annual Tech
sticker shall be placed on the vehicle in a location that will be visible
to the starter when the vehicle approaches the start line for a com-
petitive run. If the Annual Tech sticker has been removed, the card
may be used to obtain a replacement. Alternatively, individual event
tech stickers can be issued when the Annual Tech card is presented
rather than the issuance of an Annual Tech sticker. The Annual Tech
should be honored for all SCCA® sanctioned Solo® events in that
Region. The following conditions apply to all Regional implementa-
tions of Annual Tech:
1) Regions have the option of placing additional restrictions on the
Annual Tech process, such as limiting the classes allowed and/or
restricting it to experienced drivers.
2) The Annual Tech inspection must be conducted by an experi-
enced inspector appointed by the Regional Solo® chairperson. It
is strongly recommended the Region Tech Inspector appoint and
train an adequate number of assistants.
3) The vehicle should be presented for Annual Tech in the same con-
dition in which it will compete.
4) It is the responsibility of all competitors in a vehicle with an An-
nual Tech approval to verify that all items in Section 3.3.3 are in
compliance.
5) The event technical inspector or chairperson may require a ve-
hicle be presented for a re-inspection if there is good reason to
believe that a vehicle is not in compliance with Section 3.3.3.
6) A vehicle must be re-inspected if modifications are made to the car
after receiving an Annual Tech approval.
An official SCCA® Annual Tech sticker may be affixed to helmets
meeting the current standards in order to easily identify eligible hel-
mets.
B. Inspection Requirements
1) All loose items, inside and outside the car, must be removed. Hand
held items, such as but not limited to, cameras and cell phones are
considered loose items.
2) Passenger’s seat back and all cushions, bolsters, headrests, etc.
must be secured. All allowed aftermarket replacement seats (i.e.,
driver and passenger) must be securely and safely mounted. Spe-
cial care should be taken when using other than OE mounting points
and/or fabricated bracketry.
3) Any cameras, if installed, must be securely mounted to withstand
loads from driving maneuvers. The camera may be installed either
inside or on the outside of the car. In either case, its mounting meth-
od and position must not interfere with driving or pose an additional
hazard to driver, passenger, or course workers.
36 — 2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
3. Vehicles
4) Snap-on hubcaps, detachable fender skirts, and trim rings must be
removed.
5) Wheels must be safely affixed. They shall not be reversed so that the
lughole taper does not mate with the chamfer of the lugs. All studs
and lug nuts must be present and functional.
6) Tires must be in good condition, with no cord or belts showing or
cracks in the tread or sidewall. Each tire must have measurable (i.e.,
exhibiting positive measurement values) tread depth at no less than
two points on the tire which are 180° apart around the circumference,
and which are within the center one-half of the tread surface that
normally contacts the ground. Tires may not have cord visible at the
start of competition.
7) Seat belts (and harnesses if used) must be properly installed with at-
taching hardware, in good condition, secure, tight, and in compliance
with Section 3.3.1.
8) Throttle return action shall be safe and positive.
9) No excessive fuel, oil, water or brake fluid leaks should be observed.
For all Prepared and Modified category vehicles, engine crankcase
and radiator overflow/breather lines must terminate in containers of
at least one quart capacity. These containers cannot be vented into
the driver/passenger compartment. All Prepared and Modified cat-
egory vehicles must be equipped with an engine oil vent tank and
an engine coolant vent tank if coolant is used. Vent tanks are not
required with systems which are completely closed, i.e. have no
venting to the atmosphere. All oil lines passing through the driver/
passenger compartment shall be made of metal braided hose or
equivalent (e.g., Nomex, Kevlar, or nylon-braided hose) with AN Se-
ries threaded couplings or entirely covered and protected with a met-
al cover (this does not apply to the small oil lines used for mechanical
oiling system gauges).
10) Steering “spinner” knobs shall not be permitted.
11) No broken or missing spokes or more than one loose spoke per
wheel shall be permitted in wire wheels. No cracks shall be permitted
in disc or cast wheels. Other than standard parts as defined by these
rules, non-metallic wheel construction is prohibited (FSAE cars are
exempt from this requirement since the FSAE rules allow non-me-
tallic wheels).
12) Brakes must have an adequate pedal, sufficient fluid in the master
cylinder, and no apparent hydraulic leaks under pressure. Vehicles
must have a brake mechanism acting upon each wheel. The brak-
ing system shall be a dual system, arranged in a manner to provide
braking for at least two wheels in the event of failure in part of the
system. In the case of OE single systems, this requirement may be
satisfied by a functional, redundant emergency brake. Karts are ex-
empt from this requirement.
13) All swing axle cars, except Porsche, must have a camber compen-

14. Street Touring®
14. STREET TOURING® CATEGORY
The Street Touring® category of vehicle modifications is meant to fit
between the current Street and Street Prepared categories. This cat-
egory provides a natural competition outlet for auto enthusiasts using
affordable sports cars and sedans equipped with common suspension
and engine modifications compatible with street use.
Under the provisions of Section 1.1 of these rules, SCCA® Regions are
free to allow any other version of the Street Touring® concept which
meets the local needs. In particular, some leeway in the area of body-
work allowances (e.g., wings/spoilers beyond those allowed in Section
14.2.F) is encouraged at SCCA® Regional Solo® events.
See Sections 3.8 and 8.3.1 for documentation requirements.
14.1 AUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
All Solo® Rules Street Category allowances, plus all allowances con-
tained here in Section 14.
14.2 BODYWORK
A. Pedal cover kits and other interior cosmetic accessories may be
added. “Dress-up” items such as chrome dipsticks and non-standard
filler caps are permitted, provided they serve no other purpose.
B. The driver and front passenger seats may be replaced with the fol-
lowing restrictions. The seating surface must be fully upholstered.
The top of the seat, or an attached headrest, may not be below the
center of the driver’s head. The seat, including mounting hardware,
must weigh at least 25 pounds and must be attached using the OE
body mounting holes/studs. Additional mounting points may be add-
ed.
C. Factory rub strips, emblems, mud flaps, bolt-on front valance lips/
spoilers, and fog lights (except those integral to a headlight or turn
signal) may be removed. Rear wings may be removed so long as the
vehicle retains any federally-mandated third brake light.
D. Alternate steering wheels are allowed except that steering wheels
with an integral airbag may not be changed.
E. Fenders may not be cut or flared but the inside lip may be rolled to
gain additional tire clearance. (The outer fender contour may not be
changed.) Plastic and rubber wheel well splash shields may be mod-
ified for tire clearance and to accommodate a rolled inside fender lip.
The modifications may serve no other purpose (e.g., air intake, brake
ducts, etc). No other changes to the standard fenders or wheel wells
are permitted.
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances,
side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that
either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of
a US model of the vehicle. (“Model” is defined in Section 12.3.)
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog
2015 SCCA® National Solo® Rules — 79
14. Street Touring®
for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for
parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g.,
Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen,
NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc).
Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact
replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.
G. Strut bars per Section 12.18 are permitted with all types of suspen-
sion, subject to the following constraints:
1. A 2-point strut bar may be added, removed, modified, or substi-
tuted, but only with another 2-point strut bar.
2. A triangulated (3-point) strut bar may be removed, modified, or
substituted; substitution may be with either a triangulated or a
2-point strut bar. The connection to the chassis (e.g., firewall,
bulkhead) must be in the standard location.
3. Lower suspension braces must be attached to the lower suspen-
sion pickup point locations on the chassis within 2” (50.8mm) in
any direction of the actual suspension attachment to the chassis.
4. Except for standard parts, no connections to other components
are permitted.
Additional holes may be drilled for mounting bolts. Only “bolt-on” at-
tachment is permitted. Interior trim panels may be modified to allow
installation of strut bars. Holes or slots may be no larger than nec-
essary and may serve no other purpose. This does not permit any
modifications to the frame or unibody beyond the allowed mounting
holes.
H. Longitudinal (fore-aft) subframe connectors (“SFCs”) are permitted
with the following restrictions:
1. They must only connect previously unconnected boxed frame rails
on unibody vehicles.
2. Each SFC must attach at no more than 3 points on the unibody
(e.g., front, rear, and one point in between such as a seat mount
brace or rocker box brace).
3. SFCs must be bolted in place and not welded.
4. No cutting of OE subframes or floorpan stampings is permitted.
Drilling is permitted for mounting bolts only.
5. No cross-car/lateral/triangulated connections directly between the
driver’s side and passenger’s side SFCs are permitted. Connec-
tions to OE components such as tunnel braces or closure panels
via bolts are allowed and count as the third point of attachment.
No alteration to the OE components is permitted.
6. SFCs may not be used to attach other components (including but
not limited to torque arm front mounts or driveshaft loops) and
may serve no other purpose.

15. Street Prepared
15. STREET PREPARED CATEGORY
Cars running in Street Prepared Category must have been series pro-
duced with normal road touring equipment, capable of being licensed
for normal road use in the United States, and normally sold and de-
livered through the manufacturer’s retail sales outlets in the United
States. Cars not specifically listed in Street, Street Touring, or Street
Prepared Category classes in Appendix A must have been produced in
quantities of at least 1000 in a 12 month period to be eligible for Street
Prepared Category.
A vehicle may compete in Street Prepared Category if the preparation
of the vehicle has not exceeded the allowable modifications of Street
Category, except as specified below. However, the distinction between
different years/models used in Street Category does not apply in Street
Prepared Category. Example: Porsche 911 models that are listed on
the same line are considered the same.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current Club Racing Im-
proved Touring (IT) rules are permitted to compete in their respective
Street Prepared classes. Neither Street Prepared nor Improved Touring
cars are permitted to interchange preparation rules. Improved Touring
cars may use tires which are eligible under current IT rules even if they
are not eligible in Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current Club Racing Amer-
ican Sedan (AS) rules are permitted to compete in Street Prepared
class B (BSP). Neither Street Prepared nor American Sedan cars are
permitted to interchange preparation rules. American Sedan cars may
use tires which are eligible under current AS rules even if they are not
eligible in Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current Club Racing Tour-
ing category rules are permitted to compete in their respective Street
Prepared classes. Neither Street Prepared nor Touring cars are permit-
ted to interchange preparation rules. Touring cars may use tires which
are eligible under current Touring rules even if they are not eligible in
Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current Street Touring®
category rules are permitted to compete in their respective Street Pre-
pared classes, with the additional allowance that they may use any tire
which meets the requirements of 15.3 and fits on the Street Touring®
compliant wheels and within the Street Touring® compliant bodywork.
Cars eligible for the current Club Racing Spec Miata rules are permitted
to compete in Street Prepared class D (DSP), with the additional allow-
ance that they may use any size of any tire which meets the require-
ments of 15.3 and fits on the Spec Miata compliant wheels and within
the compliant bodywork. Spec Miata cars in DSP may not intermix use
of the Spec Miata and Street Prepared allowances. The competitor is
responsible for being in possession of the Spec Miata rules and for
proving that his/her car conforms to the rules.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current Club Racing B-
2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rule — 89
15. Street Prepared
Spec Regulations are permitted to compete in their respective Street
Prepared Classes. Neither Street Prepared nor B-Spec cars are permit-
ted to interchange preparation rules. B-Spec cars may use tires which
are eligible under current Club Racing B-Spec rules even if they are not
eligible in Street Prepared.
While the rules of the Street Prepared Category have remained es-
sentially the same, the laws governing various aspects of street-driven
vehicles have changed over time. The original concept of this category
as made up predominantly of street-driven vehicles has been rendered
inappropriate. SCCA® does not encourage or condone the breaking
of laws governing pollution control systems or the alteration of street-
driven vehicles contrary to state and federal laws regarding their use. It
continues to be the responsibility of the individual to comply with such
state and federal laws.
See Sections 3.8 and 8.3.1 for documentation requirements.
Specific vehicle classifications are located in Appendix A of these rules.

A. All Allowable modifications permitted in Section 13, Street Category
are allowed.
B. Street Prepared vehicles may only be modified in excess of Street
Category rules in the following ways. Any modification not specifically
authorized by the Street Category or Street Prepared rules is prohib-
ited. No unauthorized modifications are permitted in order to accom-
modate authorized modifications (e.g., non-standard hood scoops or
holes necessary for carburetor clearance). Structural modifications,
such as the addition of members known as “jacking rails,” are not
permitted unless specifically authorized herein.
C. Equipment and/or specifications may be exchanged between differ-
ent years and models of a vehicle if:
(a) the item is standard on the year/model from which it was taken,
and
(b) the years/models are listed on the same line of Appendix A, Street
Prepared Classes.
The updated/backdated part or the part to which it is to be attached
may not be altered, modified, machined, welded, or otherwise
changed to facilitate the updating/backdating allowance. Standard
factory installation methods, locations, and configurations are al-
lowed. The updating and/or backdating of engines, transmissions,
transaxles, and/or unibodies must be done as a unit; component
parts and specifications of these units may not be interchanged.
Cars not listed in the Street Prepared Sections of Appendix A may
not be updated/backdated until approved by the SEB and published
in the official SCCA® publication.
D. Alternate computer control modules may be used whenever an
equivalent change to the conventional system is allowed. For ex-
ample, alternate computer module control of ignition settings or fuel
injection is allowed.

E. Air conditioning systems may be removed in whole or in part. This
rule should not be interpreted to allow modification of the heater sys-
tem.
F. On all forms of suspension, camber/caster adjustment within fac-
tory specifications may be achieved by the use of shims or eccentric
bushings. The intent of this allowance is to permit cars to be restored
to within factory-allowed specification ranges, not to provide an addi-
tional method beyond those permitted in Section 15.8, Suspension,
to obtain alignment settings beyond the factory specifications.
Refer to Appendix F for past clarifications of these rules.
15.2 BODYWORK
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of Section 13.2 as specified
herein.
A. Fenders and bumpers may be modified for tire clearance. This in-
cludes the portion of a hood which serves as a fender/wheel well,
where applicable. This does not permit modifications to the chassis
or bodywork inboard of the vertical plane of the hub/wheel mounting
face (at rest, with front wheels straight ahead). Flares may be added
although tires may extend beyond the bodywork. Replacement of
complete hood, flared fenders, or quarter panels is prohibited. Plas-
tic and rubber wheel well splash shields may be modified for tire
clearance and for installation of fender flares as allowed herein.
Hardware may be added to the steering system outside the passen-
ger compartment to limit steering travel, provided it doesn not alter
steering or suspension geometry within the limited range of motion
and serves no other purpose.
B. Factory rub strips, emblems, mud flaps, rear wings, and/or spoilers
may be removed.
C. Strut bars (per Section 12.18) are permitted with all types of suspen-
sions, subject to the following constraints:
1. A 2-point strut bar may be added, removed, modified, or substi-
tuted, but only with another two-point strut bar.
2. A triangulated (3-point) strut bar may be removed, modified, or
substituted; substitution may be with either a triangulated or a
2-point strut bar. The connection to the chassis (i.e., firewall, bulk-
head) must be in the standard location.
3. Lower suspension braces must be attached to the lower suspen-
sion pickup point locations on the chassis within two inches (2”,
50.8 mm) in any direction of the actual suspension attachment to
the chassis.
4. Except for standard parts, no connections to other components
are permitted.
Additional holes may be drilled for mounting bolts. Interior trim pan-
els may be modified to allow installation of strut bars. Holes or slots
may be no larger than necessary and may serve no other purpose.
This does not permit any modifications to the frame or unibody be-
yond the allowed mounting holes.

15. Street Prepared
D. Subframe mount bushings may be replaced, but must attach in the
standard location(s) without additional modification or changes. Sub-
frame position may not be changed. The amount of metal in a re-
placement bushing may not be increased relative to the amount of
metal found in a standard bushing for the particular application. Solid
metal bushings are specifically prohibited.
E. Longitudinal (fore-aft) subframe connectors (SFCs) are permitted
with the following restrictions:
1. They must only connect previously unconnected boxed frame rails
on unibody vehicles.
2. Each SFC must attach at no more than three points on the uni-
body (e.g., front, rear, and one point in between such as a seat
mount brace or rocker box brace).
3. SFCs must be bolted or welded, but welding must be to the OE
subframe stampings, not to the floor pan in between.
4. No cutting of OE subframes or floorpan stampings is permitted.
Drilling is permitted for mounting bolts only.
5. No cross-car/lateral/triangulated connections directly between the
driver’s side and passenger’s side SFCs are permitted. Connec-
tions to OE components such as tunnel braces or closure panels
via bolts are allowed and count as the third point of attachment.
No alteration to the OE components is permitted.
6. SFCs may not be used to attach other components (including but
not limited to torque arm front mounts or driveshaft loops) and
may serve no other purpose.
F. The driver and front passenger seats may be replaced with the fol-
lowing restrictions: Seats must be securely mounted per Section
3.3.3.B.2. The seating surface must be fully upholstered. Any re-
placement seat must be a full back, bucket-type automobile seat in-
corporating a functional headrest. Kart seats, low-back dune buggy
seats, and other similar types of seat are expressly prohibited. Cars
may have no fewer than the standard number of seats. The seat
tracks are considered part of the seat and may be substituted. Al-
ternate seat tracks may serve no other purpose. The standard seat
belts may be removed to facilitate the installation of alternate re-
straints complying with safety requirements. An alternate seat which
replaces an airbag-equipped seat is not required to have an airbag.
G. Any steering wheel may be used. An alternate wheel which replaces
an airbag-equipped wheel is not required to have an airbag. An alter-
nate wheel is not required to have a horn button.
H. Airbags may be electrically disabled but not removed unless explic-
itly allowed.
I. Spoilers/splitters and cosmetic trim pieces are permitted. Side skirts
may not be used. Spoilers/splitters must comply with the following:
1. A spoiler/splitter may be added to the front of the car below the
bumper. It may not extend rearward beyond the front most part
of the front wheel well openings, and may not block normal grille
or other openings, or obstruct lights. Splitters may not protrude
92 — 2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
15. Street Prepared
beyond the bumper. Openings may not be used for the purpose
of ducting air to the radiator or oil cooler, but they may allow air
to flow through a permitted oil cooler provided no ducting is used.
The spoiler may not function as a wing.
2. A spoiler may be added to the rear of the car provided it complies
with either of the following:
a) It is a production rear spoiler which is standard or optional
equipment of a US model of the vehicle or an exact replica in
an alternate material.
b) It is a non-production rear spoiler which is mounted to the rear-
most portion of the rear hatch, deck, or trunk lid. The spoiler
may extend no more than 10” (254 mm) from the original body-
work in any direction. Alternatively, in a hatchback, the spoiler
may be mounted to the rear hatch lid at or near the top of the
hatch; in such a configuration the spoiler may extend no more
than 4” (101.6 mm) from the original bodywork in any direction.
The spoiler may be no wider than the original bodywork, and
it shall not protrude beyond the overall perimeter of the body-
work as viewed from above. The use of endplates is prohibited.
Angle of attack is free. The spoiler may not function as a wing.
J. Rollover structures
1. Roll bars must comply with Section 13.2.G.1 in Street category.
2. Roll cages must comply with the following:
a. The roll cage need not be removable. It shall be bolted or weld-
ed to the car.

sisting of the basic cage with 6 attachment points and 2 addi-
tional optional braces.
c. The forward part of the cage shall be mounted to the floor of the
vehicle. If used, the 2 optional braces referred to in (2) shall be
mounted, one on either side, from the forward section of the
cage to the firewall or front fender wells. No braces shall pass
through the front firewall.
d. Roll cages that utilize NASCAR-style door bars that protrude
into the door cavity must comply with the GCR roll cage re-
quirements for production-based cars.
e. Roll cages which utilize door bars that protrude into the door
panel must comply with all Club Racing GCR requirements for
roll cages.
Installation of roll cages in Street Prepared cars must follow the
same standards for interior modifications to accommodate the
cage installation as those which are applicable to Touring cars in
Club Racing.
K. The use of a fuel cell which complies with GCR requirements is per-
mitted, provided all of the following additional restrictions are met:
1. The capacity of the cell may differ by no more than 20% from that
of the original tank.

See Sections 3.8 and 8.3.1 for documentation requirements.
16.1 ALLOWED MODIFICATIONS
A. All Street, Street Touring®, and Street Prepared category modifica-
tions are authorized. Except as noted by these rules and the refer-
enced rules, vehicles must be as originally delivered including all
road-going components such as lights, wipers, interior, heater, etc.
B. Competitors may pick and choose between all Street, Street Tour-
ing®, Street Prepared, and Street Modified category allowances
when preparing a Street Modified category car. Apparent conflicts
between inherited rule sets from Section 16.1.A shall not prohibit
any specific inherited allowance. Allowances inherited from Section
16.1.A may not incorporate Street Modified-specific allowances. For-
eign spec parts may not be used to substitute for parts which are
required to remain standard.
C. Brakes, including calipers, caliper mounts, disks, drums, lines, back-
ing plates, pedals, boosters, master cylinders, handles, ABS sys-
tems, proportioning valves, etc., are unrestricted. Brake rotor/drum
friction surfaces must be 100% ferrous metallic. Carbon or ceramic
composite brake components (except pads) are expressly prohibit-
ed. Standard parts, per Section 12.4, are exempt from this restriction.
A functional, redundant emergency (parking) brake must be present.
D. Drivetrain and related components (induction, ignition, fuel systems,
etc.) are unrestricted except for the following limitations:
1. Engine block must be a production unit manufactured and badged
the same as the original standard or optional engine for that mod-
el. Badges that exist as marketing aliases for the manufacturer
will be recognized as equivalents. Swaps involving makes related
only at a corporate level are not recognized as equivalents. Mod-
els produced as a joint venture between manufacturers may uti-
lize any engine from any partner in the joint venture, provided that
an engine from the desired manufacturer was a factory option in
that particular model (e.g., Eagle Talon, available originally with
either a Mitsubishi or Chrysler engine, may use any motor from
Chrysler or Mitsubishi). This allows engine blocks manufactured
as production units for sale in other countries such as Japan or
Germany.
2. Maximum engine displacements per class are specified in
106 — 2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
16. Street Modified
Appendix A.
3. Fuel System
a. Any fuel line(s) may be used. All non-standard fuel line(s) pass-
ing through the passenger compartment shall be made of met-
al, metal braided hose, or equivalent (e.g., Nomex, Kevlar, or
nylon braided hose) with AN Series threaded couplings, or en-
tirely covered and protected with a metal cover.
b. Any fuel pump(s), filter(s), and pressure regulator(s) may be
used. Such components may not be located in the passenger
compartment but their location within the bodywork of the car
is otherwise unrestricted. If a mechanical pump is replaced,
a blanking plate may be used to cover the original mounting
point.
c. A cool-can, not exceeding one gallon in volume, may be used.
The cool-can may not be installed in the passenger compart-
ment.
d. The fuel tank may be modified or replaced. If the fuel tank is
modified or replaced, the following restrictions apply:
1. No part of the fuel tank or fuel cell shall be closer than 6”
(152.4 mm) to the ground unless enclosed within the body-
work and mounted above the floor pan. A metal bulkhead is
required that provides total separation between the driver
compartment and the compartment containing the fuel tank
and/or filler/neck. This includes fuel tanks that are flush
mounted with driver compartment panels or otherwise ex-
posed to the driver compartment. Fuel filler doors in the driv-
er compartment must be positively fastened (non-metallic
fasteners are not allowed).
For the purposes of these rules, a fuel tank consisting of a
structure containing a fuel bladder is considered to be the
entire fuel cell including the containing structure. The con-
taining structure of a fuel cell does not qualify as a bulkhead.
A separate metal bulkhead must isolate the fuel cell from the
passenger compartment.
2. Internal body panels may be modified to accommodate the
installation of the fuel tank as long as such modifications
serve no other purpose. In the event installation includes en-
croachment into the driver’s compartment, a metal bulkhead
shall prevent exposure of the driver to the fuel tank.
3. Fuel tank breathers shall not vent into the driver/passenger
compartment.
4. Minimum capacity of a non-standard fuel tank/cell shall be
no less than 5 gal.
Engine and drivetrain mounts are considered part of these allowanc-
2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rule— 107
16. Street Modified
es and any material is permitted. The allowances of Section 16.1.P
may be used to affix brackets, but these brackets shall serve no pur-
pose other than engine and drivetrain mounting (e.g., they may not
provide chassis stiffening).
E. Suspension components are unrestricted as long as they use the
original attachment points. For the purposes of this rule, “suspen-
sion” is defined as any item that is designed to move when a wheel
is deflected vertically. This includes shocks/struts, control arms,
steering knuckles, uprights, etc., but not tie rods, steering racks, and
subframes. In addition, shock absorber/strut upper mounts are to be
considered suspension components.
F. Steering modifications are permitted as follows:
1. Steering components, including the steering rack and/or box, tie
rods, idler arms, power assist devices, and related components
may be replaced, added, moved, or removed. The steering col-
umn within the passenger compartment is specifically excluded
from this allowance. This does not permit removal or modifica-
tion of column-mounted accessories. Wheel-mounted electrical
switches such as those for the horn, radio, cruise control, or shifter
may be relocated and/or replaced, or eliminated.
2. Rear-steer devices may be replaced with solid links.
3. Supplemental steering gear boxes or steering quickeners are al-
lowed as long as they are mounted in accordance with Section
16.1.F.1.
4. Steering wheels and associated mounting hardware may be re-
placed. This does not permit removal or modification of the steer-
ing column or column-mounted accessories. OE wheel-mounted
electrical switches such as those for the horn, radio, cruise con-
trol, or shifter may be relocated and/or replaced, or eliminated.
G. Subframe connectors are allowed as per Street Prepared Section
15.2.E.
H. Subframe bushings may be replaced with bushings of any material
as long as they fit the original location. Offset bushings may not be
used.
I. Front hoods (engine covers), engine covers, trunk lids and hatches
not containing glass, front fenders, rear fenders not part of chas-
sis structure (unibody), front & rear fascias, and side skirts may be
modified or replaced, and may be attached with removable fasten-
ers. Associated hardware including latches, hinges, window washer
system, and hood liners may be modified, removed, or replaced.
J. Tires legal in Street, Street Touring®, or Street Prepared categories
are permitted.
K. Rear passenger seat(s), including restraints and associated hard-
ware may be removed.
108 — 2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
16. Street Modified
L. Aerodynamic Aids: Wings may be added, removed, or modified. Non-
OE wings may only be attached to the rear deck/hatch area behind
the centerline of the rear axle. The total combined surface area of all
wings shall not exceed 8 square feet as calculated per Section 12.9.
The number of wing elements is limited to 2.
Wings, and any component thereof, may not extend beyond the ve-
hicle width, as defined by the outermost portion of the vehicle doors,
less mirrors, door handles, rub strips, and trim. In addition, no portion
of the wing or its components may be more than 6” forward of the
rear axle, more than 0” beyond the rear most portion of the body-
work, or more than 6” above the roofline of the vehicle, regardless of
body style. For convertibles and roadsters, the highest portion of the
windshield frame will be considered the highest portion of the roof;
however, a convertible or roadster utilizing a hardtop will use the
highest portion of the hardtop as the roofline.
Reinforcements to the wing mounting area may be used, but may
serve no other purpose. Body panels to which a wing mounts must
remain functional (e.g., trunk lids and rear hatches must open). Wing
endplate surface area is limited to 200 sq. in. each and limited to a
maximum of 2.
Except for standard parts, wings designed to be adjustable while the
car is in motion must be locked in a single position.
Canards are allowed and may extend a maximum of 6” (152.4 mm)
forward of front bodywork/fascia as viewed from above. No portion
of the canard may extend past the widest part of the front bodywork/
fascia as viewed from above. Canard area will be measured in the
same manner as wings using Section 12.10. Canard area may not
exceed 15% of total wing allowance. The sum of canard area and
rear wing area may not exceed the total wing allowance.
M. Front splitters are allowed and shall be installed parallel to the ground
(within ±3° fore to aft) and may extend a maximum of 6” (152.4 mm)
from the front bodywork/fascia as viewed from above. Splitters may
not extend rearward past the centerline of the front wheels. No por-
tion of the splitter may extend beyond the widest part of the front
bumper/fascia as viewed from above.
N. Removable OE hardtops, T-tops, targa tops, sunroofs, moonroofs,
and similar roof-mounted panels may be removed/replaced with al-
ternate panels provided that the area of interface is limited to the
original perimeter of the t-top, sunroof, etc. or utilizes the OE panel
mount points, and that the contour of any replacement panel surface
does not vary from the contour of the part being replaced by more
than 1” (25.4 mm) in any direction. The material used to construct the
alternate panel and the method used to attach it to the interface is
unrestricted. Any actuation mechanism and the associated wiring, if
any, may be removed. Vehicles utilizing alternate (non-OE) hardtops

18. MODIFIED CATEGORY
Sports cars and sedans altered in excess of Prepared Category, sports
racing and two-seat specials, Formula cars, single-seat specials, dune
buggies, and kit cars. Active Automatic Braking Systems (ABS) and
Traction Control Systems (TCS) are prohibited in Modified classes B
(BM), C (CM), and F (FM). Traction Control Systems are prohibited in
Modified Class A (AM). Active Automatic Braking Systems (ABS) and
Traction Control Systems are prohibited in Modified Classes D (DM)
and E (EM), except for the original system installed on the car, which
may not be modified. Engine RPM limiting devices (rev limiters) are
allowed in all Modified classes. Data acquisition systems are allowed
in all Modified classes unless specifically prohibited by the applicable
Club Racing GCR (General Competition Rules) Section(s).
Modified Category cars are divided into classes based on potential
Solo® performance. They need not be licensed for or capable of street
use. The Solo® Rules shall take preference over the Club Racing GCR
concerning safety requirements for vehicles in this Category. Aerody-
namic devices must be securely mounted on the entirely sprung part of
the car and must not be moveable when the car is in motion. The use
of any moving device (e.g., a fan, propeller, turbine) or hinged wing to
create downforce is prohibited. Movable side skirts are not permitted
except where noted herein or in Appendix A, Modified Category.
18.0.A. Sound Control Modifications
If a formula car or sports racer is restricted by a GCR-stated exhaust
length or vehicle length and therefore prohibited from installing the
necessary exhaust devices to quiet the car to meet local dB limits,
the following shall apply:
The vehicle exhaust system length may be extended to allow for the
installation of noise suppression devices. This allowance is provided
solely to reduce the exhaust noise emanating from these cars by al-
lowing the installation of (a) noise limiting device(s) and in so doing
keep the total exhaust length to a minimum for safety reasons. The
installation and the noise limiting device(s) shall serve no other pur-
pose than that stated and this allowance only applies to an extension
of the exhaust system, not the vehicle bodywork or frame.
18.0.B. Engine Classifications
1. Four-stroke cycle and two-stroke cycle, naturally aspirated, inter-
nal combustion engines will be classified on the basis of actual
piston displacement.
2. Rotary Engines (Wankel): These units will be classified on the
basis of a piston displacement equivalent to twice the volume de-
termined by the difference between the maximum and minimum
capacity of the working chamber, times the number of rotors.
3. Turbocharged or supercharged versions of the above engines
will be classified on a basis of 1.4 times the computed displace-
ment.

TIMING AND SCORING PROCEDURES
The Official Times, which include copies of the Master Time Log with
penalties included and the Course Incident Reports, will be posted after
each run. If a computer malfunction occurs and a printout cannot be
posted, this will not delay the start of the next runs; however, every ef-
fort will be made to have a computer printout of preliminary results after
each run.
The Course Incident Report sheets will be picked up halfway through
each run from each corner station and posted as part of the Official
Results. These supersede the penalty portion of the Master Time Log if
there is a discrepancy in cone counts or DNFs. The reason for picking
up the Course Incident Report sheets halfway through each run is so
that the competitors who run in the beginning of the heat will be able to
see the times and cone counts before their next run.
Theoretically, downtime should only occur when the corner sheets are
being picked up (approximately two minutes).
It is the competitor’s responsibility to bring any posting discrepancies to
the attention of the Chief of Course, who will then confer with the Chief
of Timing. This can be done without having to go through the Protest
procedures; however, if a competitor feels that he/she has not received
a satisfactory action or reply from the Chief of Course, the next step is
to go through the Protest procedure.
