Re: Safety Steward EMERGENCY!

Some of us need signatures to convert into SSS. It's not that hard to get signatures man... I had to get mine twice because USPS or SCCA lost my original app & I didn't photocopy it! Make sure you photocopy your application before sending it in. OK, maybe not hard, but somewhat difficult... I w...

Re: Time to find M2010 Helmets

Who/what authorizes helmet use for autocross? How is that information accessed? I ask because of the rumors that the 95 helmets will get a year reprieve, which would push out the 2010 requirement a year. Supposedly due to lack of wide availability of 2010's. How/where can one get the official scoop...

Re: 2010 Points Updated!

Looking at HS and the 2010 Supp Rules, it doesn't look like Gene or I would get a year end trophy for 3rd place. Can someone verify this? I'm a bit confused in the 7.7-7.91 section. Is 7.91 the correct rule for this?: "a trophy shall be given, for a Second Place within 5% of the winner’s total...

Supp 7.7-7.91

7.7-7.91 "a trophy shall be given, for a Second Place within 5% of the winner’s total and trophies to all others within 8% of the winner’s totals."

Must 3rd place be within 8% of 2nd's point total? or within 8% of 1st's total?
