A Weekend Membership fee makes you an SCCA Weekend Member and will give you a $15 discount towards a full SCCA membership, a copy of SportsCar (our national magazine), and is valid for all SCCA-sanctioned events held during that weekend.

CLASSES, CAR PREPARATION AND MODIFICATIONS
The Region utilizes the 2021 SCCA National Solo Rules classifications.
For 2021, the Region will have four Classes: Novice for those new to the sport, Open is our intermediate class for those Region competitors looking for fun with some competition, Expert which is the "Deep End Of The Pool," with very stiff competition, and Ladies can run in any of the three classes as well as the Ladies class. All of these classes are better explained in the 2021 Autocross Supplemental Rules and can be found on the Region Website at www.alaskascca.org.
Each competitor will be required to use the Tech Sheet to self inspect their vehicle following Registration and return Tech Sheet to registration area. Vehicles shall have mufflers, working seatbelts, and NO leaking fluids, in addition to the other items on the Tech Sheet.
This year the Region will be enforcing a sound limit rule to ensure that we are able to continue to enjoy our sport. The details are outlined in Appendix I of the 2021 National Rules. Bottom line is sound level readings will be taken at a location on the edge of the courses and competitors who exceed the maximum sound level will be given the opportunity to make repairs to meet the acceptable sound level. If on subsequent runs the competitor does not meet the acceptable level, they will not be allowed to continue to compete.
