UNSAFE VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS

Rollovers are a very real possibility in RallyCross and are more prevalent with certain types of vehicles and poor vehicle conditions.  To combat this possibility and allow us to run safe events that can be ensured the following restrictions are put into place.

Height vs. Width Restriction

Competitor vehicles must be at least 95% as wide as they are tall.  Width is the track width of the vehicle measured from the center of the tire to the center of the tire, and height is measured from the ground to the highest point on the roof. The width must be 95% of the height measured at the highest point of the roof on both axles.

The ratio may be adjusted through lowering the vehicle or by using higher offset wheels but not through the use of wheel spacers.

Permitted trucks, CUVs, and SUVs must be stock ride height or lower while meeting the Height vs. Width requirement. “Lifted” vehicles (body, blocks, springs) will not be allowed to compete.  Most "unibody" or car based CUVs, SUV, Vans, Trucks are allowable as long as the ride height hasn't been modified.

Vehicles that appear to pose a rollover risk may be disqualified at any time prior to or during the event at the discretion of a safety steward, event chair, or program director. 

ROOF & WINDOW SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

If you have a vehicle modified to the extent that you have removed windows or replaced them with plastic, here are the safety requirements.  These are intended to protect you in the event of a rollover by keeping the structure of the roof in tact and containing you within the vehicle.
