• Helmet Requirements for all SCDA events.

  Helmets with a SA-2015 or SA-2020 rating are REQUIRED for all SCDA Events

  Helmets with an M-rating are not Acceptable.   Motorcycle helmets do not have the proper safety requirements for car use, specifically a rollbar multi-impact test.

  Helmets MUST have one of these two labels on the inside.

  

   

   

  Helmet Suppliers:

  • Driving Impressions
  • HMS Motorsports
  • TMI Racing Products

Long sleeves and long pants are suggested at all tracks. Open-toe shoes are not allowed. Drivers of competition cars are encouraged to wear fire-suits.

SCDA Convertible Policy

For safety reasons, all convertibles (Boxster, Miata, Corvette, BMW Z4, Honda S2000, Pontiac Solstice etc.) are required to have a roll bar that meets the following two criteria in order to be eligible to run during any event.

1. The roll bar must be in the fixed position and visible at all times. This means that roll bars which are designed to automatically deploy are not acceptable unless they are in the full upright and locked position at all times.
2. The roll bar must allow the driver to pass the “broomstick” test which means that the top of the drivers helmet must be below the line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield.

There are aftermarket roll bars and/or seats which can be used to help meet these requirements. If your convertible meets these standards, then you are welcome to participate!

Factory hard tops ARE acceptable at SCDA events.

The ONLY time there may be a passenger on track is:

• If the Driver is a registered SCDA Instructor or Coach
• If the Passenger is a registered SCDA Instructor or Coach
• Non-entrant passengers MUST sign in and receive the proper wristband

Tech Inspection

All Cars must be brought to Tech Inspection prior to entering the track.

• Participants should bring their completed SCDA Tech Form to inspection with their helmets.
• Vehicles must be empty of items and have the numbers attached that are in the driver packet
• NOTE: Please visit Registration to get the event packet with the vehicle numbers in it. We cannot inspect a car that does not yet have the tech form and numbers installed provided in your event packet at check in.
