2024 SWRRC Rules (updated 1/05/2024)

1.  Driver Eligibility:

A.  All SCCA licensed drivers with a region of record being one of the nine regions within Southwest Division of the SCCA, including SowDiv Novice permit holders with completed school requirements.

B.  Drivers must finish a minimum of four (4) SWRRC races during the championship season to be considered in the Championship standings. No exceptions will be made.

C.  Drivers must maintain a SowDiv Region as their Region‐of‐Record at the time Championship points are earned.

2.  Class Eligibility:

All SCCA Runoff Eligible Class and SCCA Regional Class cars, recognized by SowDiv SCCA, are eligible for the SWRRC Series.

3.  Points:

Points will be awarded on the following basis for each race: 1st‐25, 2nd‐21, 3rd‐18, 4th‐17, 5th‐16, 6th‐15, 7th‐14, 8th‐13, 9th‐12, 10th‐11, 11th‐10, 12th‐9, 13th‐8, 14th‐7, 15th‐6, 16th‐5,17th‐4, 18th‐3, 19th‐2, 20th and below‐1.  Must complete at least half (1/2) of the full race distance to qualify for SWRRC points.

Points will be awarded based on a driver’s actual finishing position in class in all designated points races except at SowDiv Super Tour races where the SWRRC points will be awarded based on the driver’s finishing position against other SowDiv drivers only.  All Southwest Division and Southern Conference Regionals, Majors and Super Tour races that are run under SCCA Sanctions in the Southwest Division will be eligible for SWRRC points at the election of the Region or the Division/Conference. Only those races declared as SWRRC races will count for SWRRC points.

The final race of each SWRRC racing season will be a Double Points SWRRC race.

The SWRRC points report will be maintained at the Division level and the SWRRC is the only racing championship sponsored by the SCCA Southwest Division.

4.  SWRRC Season:

Each SWRRC race season will start with the first SWRRC race scheduled after the season ending SWRRC Double Points Race. The final SWRRC Double Points Race of each year will be held prior to the National Runoffs of each year at a Track and Date agreed upon by the racing regions.

Year‐end total points for championship: Drivers count their seven (7) best points races of the regular championship series season plus the year end SWRR Championship Double Points race.  A maximum total of eight (8) races will be counted for each class championship by each driver.

In the event of a tie for any position within the divisional championship, the tie breaker will be the driver with the most class wins during the championship season. If a second tie breaker is needed, this will be the driver with the most 2 nd place finishes in the championship season.

5.  Championship Awards:

SowDiv will provide year‐end awards to the eligible drivers finishing 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd in the year‐end points for each class. Each 1st Place driver in class will be awarded a Champion’s Jacket or equivalent. To receive a Champion’s Jacket a driver must compete with at least one other driver in his or her car class that has entered and raced at least 4 SWRRC races in that car class.

6.  National Runoffs via Division Points:

To be eligible for the SCCA National Runoffs via the Divisional Path, please refer to the SCCA Runoffs Qualification Criteria posted by SCCA Road Racing for that year’s Runoffs.
