- No loose or missing lug nuts/bolts
- Braking system in good condition
- Battery is secure (No zip-ties or bungees, must be securely fastened down)
- Throttle return works

Yes, novices are welcome at all WMC events!
If you are a novice, let the people at registration know and they will help you get registered and set you up for a course walk. Most of our events are split into morning and afternoon sessions. Novices are welcome during both sessions. An experienced club member will be assigned to take novices through a detailed course walk to familiarize them with the course of the day.
Determining which class a vehicle belongs in is the responsibility of the competitors. If you are not sure which class your car should be in you can find the latest SCCA Solo Rules here. If you are still unsure of classification, drivers may always run in “NFP”. Not for Points.
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Only 1 passenger per vehicle. NO ONE under 16 years of age and they must be a licensed driver. Only a WMC approved instructor may be a passenger (for instruction purposes) or carry a passenger. Again, for instruction purposes.
A helmet is required. You may use your own or the club has loaner helmets available for use. If you bring your own, it must follow the latest SCCA SOLO guidelines. Currently SNELL M2010 or SA2010 or better.
