ETRSCCA SeDiv SOLO 2014

"Rumble in the Hills"

July 25-27, 2014
Smokies Baseball Stadium - Seveirville, TN

This is a two-day autocross, and part of the 2014 Southeast Divisional Solo Series. This will be an ETR points event. ETRSCCA and the Southeast Division are working to offer you a tiny taste of what national competition might feel like, but in a much more fun and laid-back atmosphere. ETR wil host a welcome party on Saturday evenging, so bring a chair and a tasty beverage. ETRSCCA will be providing burgers, dogs, and the fixins'. There's rumors of a kickball match and a big wheel race after Saturday's runs!

Timing and Scoring

This event will be scored differently than your typical autocross. We will be using a "RallyCross" scoring method. This means that your entire cumulative time across Saturday and Sunday competition will decide the winner. You will receive one drop run on Saturday, and one drop run on Sunday. A DNF will be a 10 second penalty, but only if you rejoin the course beginning with the element you missed. If you do not finish the course in it's entirety (mechanical issue, for example), you will be given the slowest time in class, plus 10 seconds, for that run.

Sound Policy

The sound policy will be in effect with a revised limit of 101.5 db for this event only.

Due to the relatively remote location of the event, we'll try to keep violations advisory in nature, but no one wants "ear-bleeding loud" cars or events. Nothing good can come from it.

Anybody planning on getting a hotel room?

[thrdeye]

I'm still working my $$/convenience/dog equation

[TedV]

I'm wondering what vehicle to run. The Scirocco on street tires with no sway bars along with gearing all wrong was more fun for y'all to watch than me to drive.

[Chuck629]

Will they be checking sound? I have a friend that wants to bring a car out that wouldn't fly at Pellissippi. It's somewhat on the loud side.

Hello,


Given that this event will necessitate a two night stay for many of us, has the Region arranged a recommended (special rate) Hotel?



Thanks,

I always have had good luck with the SCCA member discount at Choice Hotels. At times it's been better than a group special rate.

[thrdeye]

I think Lin is working on something though.

[NEVRLIFTLIN]

The host hotel The Hampton Inn. Its right off exit 407 . I believe the rate is $119.00/night. Reserve your room as soon as you can......Scott Dobbler actually worked on the deal and stated they will release what rooms by July 12th......details are where you register on MSR.


I made an error quoting the hotel rate...... $119.00. Sorry
