on PAX index. Competitors not qualifying for the 'FAT KAT' Challenge will be seeded in a Consolation Challenge, based on RAW index. Sunday afternoon the Consolation Challenge will be run, not only for bragging rights, but also for a $100 winner’s prize. The 3 separate 16 car ‘FAT KAT’ elimination run groups will face off in their run group elimination challenges, to determine the final 3 competitors.

Elimination Challenge Procedures:


Each challenge competitor will be required to work another challenge.
Elimination Challenge eliminates 50% of competitors in each round;
16 cars – 8 cars – 4 cars – 2 cars – Final “FAT KAT” Challenge Qualifier
Each competitor will be “dialed in” based on their best individual scratch qualifying
time, not PAX time.
Any Competitor “breaking out” from this dial in time will be assigned a new “dial in”
time equal to 1.5 times the “break out” for the next round.

Example:
Dial In time 60.00 secs
Run time 59.00 secs
1.0 second break out times 1.5 = New Dial In time 58.50 secs
In the event of a tie, the round will be rerun.
If a vehicle breaks the competitor may only use another vehicle within the same class.

Sound Policy
We have a strict sound policy; The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be placed 3-4 feet above ground level, positioned perpendicular to vehicle direction of travel. Measurement will be taken at a minimum of 1 sound station but usually 2, rules apply for both stations. 

If a vehicle registers a reading between 91.0-92.9dB the driver(s) will be given a courtesy warning that they are near the limit. 

If a vehicle registers a reading at 93.0dB or greater the driver must make a mechanical change to the vehicle (ex. install a turn-down1, install a silencer, close an exhaust valve(s)2 etc.), the mechanical change must be shown to and accepted by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member prior to the next run. A “mechanical delay” is permissible to make this change. If during the next run the driver(s) registers a second reading at 93.0dB or greater that vehicle will not be allowed to continue running (for both drivers in case of a two driver car). 

Vehicles that register below the 92.9dB maximum in the measured section(s) of the course but are found to be excessively loud (eg. exhaust backfire, tire squeal etc.) in other sections of the course may also not be allowed to continue running if so deemed by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member. 

Drivers of vehicles that blow over within their first two runs will receive their money back should they be unable to make a successful mechanical change and not able to continue their runs in a different vehicle. If the vehicle blows over after the first two runs refunds will not be issued.

Please note that this also applies to showroom stock vehicles, we are aware that there are a very small handful of unmodified cars (ex. Porsche 911 GT3 and Ford Mustang 350R) that can exceed the 92.9dB maximum, these vehicles must still adhere to the sound policy.  

Our sound policy is based on the SCCA’s which can be found in Appendix 1 of the rules located here: https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

1. Turndowns can only be installed pointing directly upwards, downwards, or rearwards, pointing the turndown 90° away from the sound meter is not allowed. 
2. Exhaust valves that are adjustable electronically via the push of a button inside the vehicle are acceptable.
