Autocrosses @ night - SCCA Rules?

Post by ConeEater »

Hey guys..

I think it was brought up here before about doing a night event and that it was shot down... am I right?

If so... was it a lot issue or was it SCCA national office?

Thanks in advance

Ok, I wasn't sure if there was SCCA rules against it due to visibility concerns. A local region ( not mine ) has some coming up and was curious about it.

I can't see it being 'fun' other than it being different.

I think there were issues with the lot as well. I don't think PSTCC wanted us there at night, and there were concerns about noise and the surrounding neighbors from a night event.

I did one. Couldn't look ahead at all. It was more fun than not autocrossing, but less fun than autocrossing during the day.

IIRC, CCR has a night series. The name Metrolina comes to mind.
