Persons participating at any level of event activity who are under the age of 18 must have the appropriate Minor Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement Forms Completed by their parent or legal guardians. Forms are available at registration.
RUN PROCEDURE / SCHEDULE
We will run two sessions of competition, a morning session and an afternoon session, likely with course changes between sessions.
We will run two groups of competitors, Group A and Group B. Groups will be comprised of complete car classes. Groups will be organized to have the same number of drivers, or as close the same number of drivers as possible.
The grid sheet outlining which classes are in each group will be posted at registration.
Drivers will be gridded within their class in reverse order of which they registered. This means the earlier you register, the better your starting position.
CAR/DRIVER LIMITS
There will be a maximum of two drivers per car per run group.
METHOD OF TIMING
Our events will be electronically timed with pneumatic hose triggers at start and finish. Times are reported and recorded to the thousandth of a second.
PENALTIES
A two (2) second penalty will be charged for each upright cone knocked down or displaced, including those after the finish.
A ten (10) second penalty will be charged for missing a gate or going around an upright cone the wrong way.
In the case of a DNF or a jump start, a bogey time will be awarded for that run. That bogey time will be calculated by using the slowest raw time, per class, per run group, plus fifteen (15) seconds.
SCORING
Each driver will be scored on his/her total accumulated time for all official runs, including penalties.
MECHANICAL FAILURE
One (1) 15-minute mechanical break (referred to as a “mechanical”) may be taken per event to make necessary repairs.

Hello all of my dirty compadres! I hope that everyone has had a chance to clean the dust out of their cars, clothes, shoes and those hard to teach areas of their bodies. After that last event most of us are still coughing up dirt. It may not seem close, but our next event is approaching quickly as we have our next event scheduled for September 26th at the Farm Show lot. I hope everyone has brushed up on their rain dance skills so that we can get some moisture into the ground for this event to avoid the massive dust plumes of the last event. As the year goes on I want you all to know that we are still working hard on the development of the new venue that should really help cut down on the dust issues (trees really help stop the flow). We’re looking to have that venue up and operational for a RallySprint before the end of this year, so we will be asking for course workers for that event as we get closer. I personally am looking forward to being able to unveil that venue for both RallySprint and RallyCross for next year so that we can have a full season of one of a kind racing and excitement. Once again, I’d like to thank each and every one of you for making our program fun and exciting and I look forward to seeing you in September.

- Anyone at an event who must work under their vehicle MUST have that vehicle supported by jack stands or ramps suitable for soft surfaces.
- Participation while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol will not be tolerated
Use common sense, this list is not exhaustive as there are too many no-no’s to list
WAIVERS
Competitors, workers, crew and guests must sign the SCCA Liability Release Waiver and display the wrist band issued to them to indicate that the waiver has been signed. Persons participating at any level of event activity who are under the age of 18 must have the appropriate Minor Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement Forms Completed by their parent or legal guardians. Forms are available at registration.
RUN PROCEDURE / SCHEDULE
We will run two sessions of competition, a morning session and an afternoon session, likely with course changes between sessions.
We will run two groups of competitors, Group A and Group B. Groups will be comprised of complete car classes. Groups will be organized to have the same number of drivers, or as close the same number of drivers as possible.
The grid sheet outlining which classes are in each group will be posted at registration.
Drivers will be gridded within their class in reverse order of which they registered. This means the earlier you register, the better your starting position.
CAR/DRIVER LIMITS
There will be a maximum of two drivers per car per run group.
METHOD OF TIMING
Our events will be electronically timed with pneumatic hose triggers at start and finish. Times are reported and recorded to the thousandth of a second.
PENALTIES
A two (2) second penalty will be charged for each upright cone knocked down or displaced, including those after the finish.
A ten (10) second penalty will be charged for missing a gate or going around an upright cone the wrong way.
In the case of a DNF or a jump start, a bogey time will be awarded for that run. That bogey time will be calculated by using the slowest raw time, per class, per run group, plus fifteen (15) seconds.
SCORING
Each driver will be scored on his/her total accumulated time for all official runs, including penalties.
MECHANICAL FAILURE
One (1) 15-minute mechanical break (referred to as a “mechanical”) may be taken per event to make necessary repairs.
VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION

Specific trucks may be barred from competition at the discretion of the Safety Steward and/or RallyCross Chair. No SUVs or Jeeps will be allowed.

This will be our final (at least at this point in time) event for the season. I know that sounds weird since we only had 2 events before this one due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, this one will be a little different. We decided that since 2020 has been such a train-wreck and has put many individuals and families through some very difficult times, we would make this event a charity event to benefit local families and individuals by joining up with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. All of the profits from the event and all of the money collected from the “silliness” portion will be donated to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. If we manage to fill up registration to capacity, we will raise at least $1000 for the charity, but I don’t feel that is enough and I would like to see us raise closer to $3000. The food bank has decided to no longer accept canned goods donations for a few reasons, some due to COVID-19 and some not, but they informed me that for every $1 raised they can purchase $6 in food from their distributors. So, if we manage to raise $3000, that equals $18,000 in food and that will feed a lot of deserving families for the upcoming holidays.
Since it is a week before Halloween we will be holding a “costume” contest with a sweet prize for the best vehicle costume as well as the best human costume.
Now back to the rest of the event, the morning will be a normal points event and we will have 3 runs. After that we will proceed with the “silliness” portion of the day. If time allows, we will be offering “fun runs” at the end of the day for $1 per run. This will be your opportunity to swap vehicles or try out new techniques.
The rules for the non-competition portion of the day are as follows:
- The purchases will be blind and not known to any competitor, unless you tell them.
- You will hand the “cashier” your slip with the vehicle number and the amount of penalties/reversals on it. Once verified, the money will go into a sealed box and the “cashier” will tally the penalties/reversals to the appropriate vehicle.
- We will provide slips of paper to write the vehicle number on, you must provide your own pen/pencil/crayon/marker.
- You may purchase cone penalties against ANY competitor in ANY class for $1 per cone.
- You may purchase cone penalty reversals for $2 per cone.
- You will not be allowed to receive a “negative” cone penalty due to purchasing cone reversals.
- Cone penalties/reversals may only be purchased at 2 specific times, once in the morning and once at lunch time.
- No purchases will be allowed after these times with no exceptions!
- You may “pre-load” monies to use through MSR when you pre-register and the “cashier” will have a record of you balance. You may also make just a simple donation at the same time.
- The day of purchases must be cash, due to not having the ease of accepting credit cards, and change will not be available.
- A “trophy” (TBD) will be awarded to the competitor with the highest dollar amount assigned to their vehicle number.
The rules for the costume contest are as follows:
- All costumes, whether on a vehicle or person, must be family friendly as well as safe.
- If at any point during the competition the “costume” becomes a safety issue, you will be given 10 minutes to remove the unsafe portion before being allowed to resume competition.
- At the end of the day 2 (two) winners will be picked based on originality and flair.
- There will be a winner with the best vehicle theme and a winner with the best personal theme.
- The winners will receive a (rather) large bag of candy. (Approximately 5-6 pounds)
