Johnson Valley RallyX Events Supplemental Rules
JayCom's RallyX events at Johnson Valley are sanctioned by the SCCA. These events are held under the SCCA RallyX Rules and the following Supplemental Regulations.
Safety All drivers and passengers must wear a Snell 95 or better helmet.
Cars must pass a safety (tech) inspection before being allowed on course. If the Event Chairman after consultation with the Event Safety Steward determines at his discretion that a vehicle cannot safely negotiate the course, it may be excluded.
Course is subject to immediate change if degradation is determined to cause a safety concern.
Speed limit is 5mph in the paddock. Outside of the venue, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a speed limit of 15mph when within 50ft of a people group.
Please be aware that this is a fairly isolated location with limited emergency access. Some cell phone services have been determined to work and the event management will have working communications. Local medical and security response organizations have been made aware of the event dates as well as the exact location. If a medical or security issue should occur, whether related to the RallyX or not, notify the Event Management to ascertain the problem.
Bring lots of drinking water. Even when it's not hot, it is very dry and easy to get dehydrated. Recommended water supply is 1gallon/person/day.
Photographers must stay within a normal spectator area unless given specific permission by the Event Chair or Safety Steward. Permission will at least require a spotter to accompany the photographer.
The Safety Steward of record has final say in all safety related issues.
Scoring and Prizes A 2 second penalty will be given if a course pylon is upset or totally displaced (including post finish cones). A 10 second penalty will be given for each missed gate or off course. Starting before receiving signal from the started will be considered an off course penalty. For a mechanical DNF the driver will be given the slowest time of a driver's normal group +10 seconds. Scored time will be the accumulation of all runs, including penalties.
The Johnson Valley RallyX Series will be a cumulative points class competition. The fastest time in each class shall receive 100. Points for slower time = (fastest/slower time)x500 - 400. The minimum number of points for any entrant shall be 20.00. Competitors must compete in at least half the total events to qualify for series awards. If an entrant competes in more than two-thirds (rounded down) of all events his lowest points in excess shall be deleted from the totals. Points are not transferable between classes. At a minimum the prize pool for each class will be $4/entrant/event. Pay out of 55%, 30%, 15% for 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
We will be targeting 4 runs per entry. If time allows we may expand to 6 runs.
Combined Classes
As mentioned, we will be accommodating both California Rally Series (CRS) and SCCA RallyX classes. There will be six competition classes combined as such
Class 4A = CRS R4 + SCCA M4 + SCCA PA
For CRS points purposes, CRS classed cars will be scored out separately.
Class 2A = CRS R2 + SCCA M2+ SCCA PF + SCCA PR
Class 4B = CRS SM4 + SCCA SA
Class 2B = CRS SM2 + SCCA SF + SCCA SR
Class 4C = CRS SS4
Class 2C = CRS SS2
Passengers
Unless otherwise noted passengers (navigators) will be allowed unrestricted. Passengers must be at least 12 years old and have signed the SCCA waiver.
ATVs, Mountain Bikes, etc
Personal vehicles of these types are not allowed in the grid area and can only be operated on course with the permission of event management. These personal vehicles are allowed in the paddock and outside of the event area, however extreme caution should be used in their operation. Per the rules of the site (Bureau of Land Management) ATV riders must wear a helmet, and passengers are not allowed. We will be enforcing the BLM site rules.
Wildlife
Protection of the indigenous wildlife is top priority. Harassment or interference with any of the wildlife is strictly forbidden. This includes the destruction of plant life. The Desert Tortoise is a federally protected animal. If a Desert Tortoise is spotted, the event management is to be informed immediately. See the BLM's notice on the Desert Tortoise here. The BLM encourages the use of propylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant (any coolant which is ethyene glycol-free) in all vehicles, for the prevention of the accidental poisoning of desert wildlife. See the BLM's notice on the Propylene Glycol Antifreeze/Coolant here.
Camping and Other Land Rules
Primitive camping is allowed anywhere within the OHV boundaries for up to 14days. Using pallets for firewood is strictly prohibited. Firewood containing nails, screws, or other metal is prohibited in all OHV areas (43 CFR 8365.1-6). All fires must be completely extinguished prior to leaving the area. Fireworks are illegal on the public lands and are strictly prohibited. Proper registration or out-of-state permit is required on all Vehicles. There is a speed limit of 15mph when within 50ft of a people group.
