Any driver in good standing holding an unrestricted Rally America National or Regional License may enter 2WD national or 4WD national event. Novice drivers are subject to approval by Rally America on a case-by-case basis. Licenses may be purchased from the Rally America office. The cost of a regional license $100, national $200.

The number of entries will determine the schedule of events. Friday afternoon / evening will be load-in, registration, and scrutineering. Saturday will be practice and qualifying, and, possibly, the first round of heat races. Heat races and D, C, B, and A main events will take place Sunday.

Practice: 3 laps per session, at least one session.

Qualifying: 3 laps, the fastest lap will determine heat race grouping.

Heat races: 3 heat races of 4 laps for each competitor, each grouped by qualifying time; 5 slowest in the first heat, followed by the next five slowest, until there are less than ten cars left, which are split evenly for the last 2 heat races. Drivers are assigned points based on their time for the completed race in a heat (not finishing position). The fastest driver receives 1 point, next fastest 2 points, etc. A DNF receives 80 points, DNS 85 points, and DSQ (black flagged) receives 95 points.

The sum of the driver's two best (numerically lowest) scores will determine their placing in the main events.

Main events: The 20 drivers with the lowest scores advance to the 5-lap main events, with 1-5 in the A main, 6-10 in the B main, 11-14 in the C main, and 15-20 in the D main. The top 2 finishers from the D main advance to the C main, the winner of the C main advances to the B main, and the B main winner advances to the A main.

Approximately 1.3 miles per lap from standing start to flying finish, 70% tarmac 30% sand. 1 jump.

Tarmac
Heat races will start 5 abreast.
Main races will have a staggered 2-2-2 start.

There will be an alternate element adding approximately 2 seconds to a given lap time (“joker”), which may be taken on any competition lap, but must be taken only once per heat race or main event. The joker will not be used during qualifying, but may be used during practice.

Transponders will be used for timing and scoring and will be required. Transponders will be available for rent or purchase. Any compatible transponders may be used from any source. Teams are encouraged to provide their own transponder. All transponders will be tested at scrutineering.

Some contact is inevitable in wheel-to-wheel racing, but rough or bad driving will not be tolerated, and result in a black flag (DSQ) for that heat or race, or disqualification from the event. The judge's decisions are final; there is no provision for protests or appeals. Drivers who are consistently rough or deemed to be unqualified may not be permitted to enter future events solely at Rally America's discretion.

There will be 2WD national and 4WD national classes. There may be additional classes, events, or races added as part of the rally cross weekend. Except where noted, normal Rally America technical rules apply.
