8. CRS Rallycross Championship

Championship

Rallycross events are those events which do not have route instructions, do not require a co-driver, and do not require a roll cage. Any year that there are four or more rallycross events on the calendar at the beginning of the year, there will be a CRS Rallycross Championship for that year. In years where there are enough events at the beginning of the year in both the North and South Regions, CRS will have both a North and a South Rallycross Championship with separate year-end trophies for each. For this to apply there will need to be a minimum of two venues and four events in each region. Those events north of Visalia will be in the North Region; all others will be in the South Region. CRS members can receive points in either or both regions. In addition each competitor can count his best out of region event as a replacement event for his worst event in his region.

Rallycross Calendar

The rallycross organizers will be limited to a maximum of three events per venue that will be included in the championship. The Rallycross Liaison will be the single point of contact for establishing and revising the championship calendar, which will be maintained on the CRS website.

An initial calendar for the Rallycross Championship will be published in this rulebook. The following rules apply to changes:

Rallycross Points

The Rallycross Championship will use the same system for awarding points, and resolving ties as the Rally Championship. There will be no organizer points awarded, because it is possible for an organizer to compete in his own event if he wants to. To be eligible for a year end award a competitor must have been a CRS member and started at least two events. For purposes of computing CRS Rallycross Championship points all runs will be counted. If a rallycross organizer should tabulate his results differently the Rallycross Pointskeeper will retabulate the results as necessary. Rallycross organizers will be limited to a maximum of three events per venue that will be included in the championship. Competitors will drop their worst event at any venue that has two or three championship events, as shown in the table below.

Rallycross Classes

Rallycross Championship points will be awarded in Street Stock 2wd, Street Stock 4wd, Street Modified 2wd, Street Modified 4wd, Rally 2wd and Rally 4wd classes. Two-wheel drive cars are not eligible to run in any four-wheel drive class. There is no price limit for any of the Rallycross classes. For CRS Rallycross Championship points, competitors will only be allowed to accrue points in one class per event (to be declared by the competitor before the event).

Street Stock 2wd (SS2) & Street Stock 4wd (SS4):

These classes are for cars that have limited performance modifications, and are using street tires. Street tires do not include ice/winter specific tires (designated by the mountain/snowflake emblem), light truck tires (designated by “LT” on the sidewall), or tires designated for rally or competition use. SS2 will be for two-wheel drive cars and SS4 will be for four-wheel drive cars. Street Stock cars must be stock (or equivalent) with the following exceptions:

Street Modified 2wd (SM2) & Street Modified 4wd (SM4):

These classes are for cars that have been modified beyond the limits detailed above and are using street tires or ice/winter specific tires (designated by the mountain/snowflake symbol). Light truck tires (designated by “LT” on the sidewall) are not allowed, nor are tires designated for rally or competition use. SM2 will be for two-wheel drive cars and SM4 will be for four-wheel drive cars.

Rally 2wd & Rally 4wd:

Cars running tires that do not qualify for the "Street" classes will be placed in either the Rally 2wd or Rally 4wd class.
