Autocross Event around Philly Area? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

DanFromPA · 08-15-2006, 11:13 PM

Hey,

Is anyone regular @ SCCA Autocross in Philly area? Beside getting the SCCS member ship, what else do I need?
Also, I have a helmet from Motorcycle. Is that allowed for AutoX? Should I buy a new helmet?

Please, let me know of the next event so that I stop by...

Thanks,

Dan.

i belive the Motorcycle helmet is actually a higher rating then the SA2005 that is now required for autox and track use...

and for autx...you dont even need the member ship IIRC...but its not a bad thing either way to have...

Let me guess, you wanna test that brand new MR, huh?

There was an SCCA event at the Boeing facility last month... I was working that day. But there's a few more in this area before the season's out. I'll check the dates and PM you.

Philly Region is running in Warminster, PA on August 27th. Registration Link

The motorcycle helmet is fine as long as it has a Snell rating of M95 or later. The SA helmets have more fireproofing, but that isn't required for Autox.

TurboTagTeam · 08-18-2006, 03:48 PM

Basically, if the helmet is road legal for a motorcycle than it's fine for autocross. They've changed the rules recently. I used to autoX in my dirtbike helmet because it had a real good vision range. However, I don't think a dirtbike helmet would be legal anymore.

What class is Stock EVO MR? Anyway to tell how they classify the cars for AUTOX?

92dxman · 08-19-2006, 05:57 PM

An Evo MR would be classified in A stock. Here is a link where you can download how cars are classed and which categories cars are in:
