HillClimb Safety Rules
SAFETY RULES
For SCCA HillClimb Events, the minimum a car may participate is at Time Trials "Safety Level 2" rules. As a note - regions and programs may (and often do) require more than these minimum rules, and competitors are reminded to check "Supplemental Regulations" to determine when more safety is required for a specific event.
| 5. VEHICLE AND DRIVER GEAR SAFETY INSPECTION |
The entrant is responsible for insuring that the vehicle being used is properly prepared for operation under elevated acceleration, braking and cornering forces. Cars must have a SCCA Time Trials or Road Race Logbook or a logbook from an accepted racing organization. Annual Inspections are allowed. Car numbers shall be at least 8 inches high and class letters shall be at least 4 inches high. Vehicles and/or logbooks will be inspected by the SCCA tech inspector at each event.
Motorsports are inherently dangerous. These Rules are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators or others. You can reduce risk by driving well, properly using superior safety gear, paying attention, and reporting unsatisfactory issues to the event officials. Drivers are responsible for ensuring that the vehicle being used is properly prepared for operation under elevated acceleration, braking and cornering forces. Drivers must have a Technical Inspection (Tech) Sheet completed and available to present to an SCCA Official.
