FAQ's

How can you have two cars on one course, both starting and finishing at the same time?
If a picture is worth a thousand words, an animated video must be worth a million. Check out the Flash Demo on the Video Page.

What do I need to actually have displayed on my car?
You have to have all of the normal ProSolo stickers and the "The Tirerack" window banner. All of those items will be available at Tech. You also have to have class letters and numbers that meet the standard set in the SCCA rule book. You, however, are not required to display your qualifying class.

Does DoubleX have special classes?
Qualifying at DoubleX is handled like any other ProSolo with drivers competiting in recognized ProSolo Classes. From there, classes are combined into categories (Stock 1 and 2, Street Touring, Street Prepared and Prep-Mod) for the purpose of event rankings and setting dial ins.

Who is in charge of this thing anyway?
DoubleCross is a collaborative effort between the SCCA National ProSolo staff and the Atlanta Region. For all intends and purposes, the ProSolo rules set the standard for the event with adjustments to facilitate the DoubleX format. As this event is sanctioned and scored as a ProSolo final authority lies in the hands of the ProSolo chief steward.

During elimination and challenge rounds, who decides who won?
DoubleX is judged by the human eye. Judges will either pick a winner or declare “too close to call.” If it is too close the pair are re-run. While the technology is there to make this system electronic, part of the mystic and excitement of the event is that is done the old fashion way, just like calling balls and strikes at the ball park.

What is "blind" qualifying?
Blind Qualifying was a anti-sandbagging rule that kept all timing secret until the end of qualifying. For 2008 this policy has been removed.

What is the "in house" rule?
Basically, if co-drivers have to face each other in a challenge round they have to settle the round "in house." This means they can borrow cars, flip coins, wrestle, etc. As long as it is settled in the time allowed, it is up to the co-drivers to decide who advances.

Since each starting line has its own entry into the course, won't one side be faster?
Yes, but each class has a dial in for each line. So you will be competing based on the top time in your qualifying class from that start line only. This means that you want to run on the side that you ran closest to the class dial in.

How do you determine who gets to leave first, and by how much?
The car with the slower dial in time will leave first, by the amount that their dial in is slower.

Will cones be announced during elimination runs?
Not until after the round is completed.
