The Las Vegas Region SCCA Time Trials Series is a group of events where a competitor’s fastest lap time (Time Attack) is scored. The 2026 season is 3 events for points, consisting of 1 National event and 2 Regional events.

These are the rules for how events are run, what penalties there might be and how drivers should conduct themselves on track.

All Rules of the Track apply, and these National Competition Rules build on those basics to create the procedures for series events.
1. Time Trials Competition Format

1. Time Attack

1. Start.
Vehicles will be released from pit lane for a warm-up lap led by the first car
leaving the grid. The start of each session will be signaled by a Green Flag at the
start/finish line after the single pace lap, but competitors may separate and
accelerate before they reach the start/finish and the Green Flag. Warm up lap
pace should be at such a speed as to allow all cars to enter the track before the
first car comes around to create track space and give the best chance for clean
laps for each driver.
2. Track Limits/Loss of Control.
A. Drivers are expected to use hard-paved surfaces only and keep a
portion of one tire within the marked track limits at all times.
B. Any vehicle leaving the marked course area with all four wheels or
deemed to have a significant loss of control (such as full spin or contact with
another car), on course in a Time Attack session shall self-report to the pit area
for a discussion with the Driver Coach for that session. If appropriate (and
timely), the driver may proceed back on track after receiving appropriate signals

from the Pit Marshal. Drivers who do not self-report will be black flagged for a
discussion with the Driver Coach. Drivers may be black flagged for discussion
with the Driver Coach in the case of repeated two (2) or three (3) wheels-off
situations.
C. Drivers deemed to have exceeded track limits or experienced a
significant loss of control will have their fastest lap of that session disqualified. A
second offense may result in disqualification from that session. Further offenses
may result in exclusion from the event. Track limits are defined as the marked
course surface and adjacent curbing. Exceptions may be made if the off-course
resulted from controlled avoidance of an unsafe situation or for offs resulting from
sportsmanship (E.g., pulling over when on a cool-down lap to clear the line for
faster cars).
3. Session Interruption. Any driver deemed to have caused a Black Flag All or
Red Flag condition for a driving error or mechanical issue will receive one
warning. A second offense will result in exclusion from resuming that session.
Further offenses may result in exclusion from the event.
4. Sportsmanship Standards. Drivers are reminded that SCCA Time Trials
Events are not wheel-to-wheel competition, but a contest of lap times. Drivers are
expected to share the track and work together so that all drivers may perform to
the best of their ability. Drivers deemed to have interfered with a competitor
intentionally or thoughtlessly will be disqualified from that session. Further
offenses shall result in exclusion from the event.
5. Session End. Sessions shall normally be ended by a Checkered Flag shown
at the Start/Finish after the session time or number of laps has elapsed. After
receiving the Checkered Flag ending the session, drivers will be given cool down
time to exit the track.
A. It is permissible to use a second Checkered Flag as a reminder after
competitors have seen the Checkered Flag at the Start/Finish line.
B. It is permissible that a session be ended with a Black Flag All in the
event of an incident requiring that flag condition.
C. If the session is stopped with a Black Flag All or Red Flag, no more lap
times will be officially scored once the Black or Red Flag is shown and
competitors should slow down and proceed to the pits (Black Flag) or stop (Red
Flag).
6. Flag Violations.

A. If a driver fails to obey a yellow, black, red or checkered flag they will
lose their fastest lap of that session.
B. Repeated offenses may result in exclusion from sessions or the event.
7. Re-Runs. There are no re-runs allowed.

2. Time Trials Event Procedures
1. Unscored Sessions. Unscored lapping sessions or passes of the course may
be timed and may be used for practice or group seeding. Passing rules should be
the same or more restrictive as the group’s scored sessions. Unscored sessions
may be done at speed, or controlled by a pace car and used as familiarization.
Any unscored sessions run at speed shall have the same minimum safety
standards as scored sessions.
2. Unscored Session Etiquette. Despite not being scored, drivers are reminded
to share the track, not to hinder other drivers, give point-byes when needed, and
may be asked to report to the Driver Coach for any off-course or loss of control.
3. Groups and Grid
A. Groups in “Time Attack” style sessions should be divided by competitor
lap times without regard to class. Group passing is by point by only on any
portion of the track.
B. Organizers may allow competitors to run outside of their groups for
mechanical problems, re-runs or other issues, but may assign penalties for
competitors running out of assigned groups.
C. Grid
Whenever possible, competitors at SCCA Time Trials Events should be
positioned on grid in order of their best times from previous scored and unscored
sessions. Competitors late to grid may lose their earned grid spot.
4. Late Starts and Early Exits
A. Late Session Starts. Drivers are not required to be on grid to
participate in a session, they may join late.
B. Drivers who start late may be held until every car has completed a clear
lap to cause the least disruption to those already on track.
C. Early Session Exit. Drivers entering the paddock before a session
ends may keep any times run during that session but may forfeit those times if
they return to the track during that session—if the event is one which uses
impound procedures.

3. Rain Event
If Event Officials declare a “rain event,” then competitors in restricted-tire classes
(Sport, Tuner, Max) may change to an alternate set of tires, even if the rules
require a single set for an entire event.

4. Scoring & Timing

determines your score. Las Vegas Region events are 1-day, and National events
