a. See WSCC Form #9C WSCC 2015 Helmet Requirements and Matrix
(represented here for 2016)
WSCC 2015 Helmet Requirements N
As most of you know, the 2015 Competition Code amendments were just voted on and approved
at the General Membership meeting in January. The Code has been revised and is now posted
on the WSCC website.
One on the approved changes will affect autocrossers as it applies to motorcycle helmets. For
2015, motorcycle helmets are no longer approved for use.
Article II, Section 1 Autocross/Slalom Code, Section C – Entry Requirements, #7 (page 16):
Was revised and now reads:
8. “Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course. All helmets
meeting the current or two immediate preceding Snell Memorial Foundation Standards SA, or
SFI standards 31.1A, or 31.2A are acceptable”
The current Snell Memorial Foundation standard is 2010, however, the 2015 Standard will be
in effect 10/1/2015. SA2015 helmets generally are not available until October or later. The
Comp Code allows for the two immediate preceding Snell Memorial Foundation Standards
(2000 and 2005); SFI rated helmets are also permitted with a 2000 or 2005 date. Note that only
SA2010 rated helmets are available for retail sale at this time.
18
January 1, 2016
If you have a SA2000 helmet you may use this helmet for autocross until 10/1/2015;
after that date an SA 2005 rated or later helmet will be required.
Snell Memorial Ratings are updated about every 5 years.
Snell’s advice – “Our advice to Safety Inspectors and Racing Authorities is that they continue to
accept helmets in good condition and certified either to the current or immediately previous
Snell standard. At this time, SA2010 is the current Snell standard and SA2005 is the
immediately previous.
Snell urges everyone to replace their Snell certified helmets routinely no later than five years
after the helmet is first worn. However, even by this conservative advice, many current SA2010
certified helmets still have years of service in them. Unless a helmet has been damaged, or has
five or more years of use, or is no longer accepted by safety inspectors or track authorities, there
may be no need to replace it.”
The WSCC rules are less restrictive than Snell, but we do rely on their advice. A helmet that is
over 5 years old is recommended to be replaced, but the final decision is up to the individual
racing. You are allowed to use a helmet for almost 15 years by our current Comp Code.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Snell Foundation Finalizes SA2015 Standard
The Snell Memorial Foundation, Inc. has finalized its SA2015 Standard for Protective Headgear which applies to auto
racing helmets. However, although there are several changes in test requirements and procedures from the current
SA2010 Standard, Snell certified auto racing helmets are expected to stay very much the same as they are now.
Changes include:

SA2015 helmets must be ready for the addition of frontal restraint tether hardware such as
used in HANS® and other systems.


SA2015 includes provisions for “Low Velocity” impact testing.
SA2015 includes “Low Lateral” impacts in case of strikes against side window frames and similar
structures.
The projected timeline for SA2015 is as follows:


SA2015 Certification testing has already begun.
SA2015 Certified helmets will not be available for sale until October 1, 2015, when the
standard takes effect.
Our advice to Safety Inspectors and Racing Authorities is that they continue to accept helmets in good condition and
certified either to the current or immediately previous Snell standard. At this time, SA2010 is the current Snell
standard and SA2005 is the immediately previous.
Snell urges everyone to replace their Snell certified helmets routinely no later than five years after the helmet is first
worn. However, even by this conservative advice, many current SA2010 certified helmets still have years of service in
20
January 1, 2016
them. Unless a helmet has been damaged, or has five or more years of use, or is no longer accepted by safety
inspectors or track authorities, there may be no need to replace it.
Please direct any questions, comments and requests for copies of the SA2015 Standard to [email protected] or call 916331-5073.

instructions call for the same or conflicting actions will not occur.
e. Special instructions are identified by the words "special instruction(s)" and become
active when received by the rallyist. They have the authority of, and may supersede,
the general instructions.
f. Information in the route instructions enclosed by parenthesis is not official. It is
intended to be an aid to the rallyist for course confirmation only. The course can and
should be followed without it.
4. Signs and Landmarks
a. Signs - Information in the route instructions enclosed in quotation marks refers to
material quoted from signs. Quoted material will be clearly readable at Rallye
speeds without the use of spotlights or other supplementary equipment. All or part
of the material on a sign may be quoted, except that parts of words or of numbers
will not be used. Individual signs or letters on the same support will be considered
one sign.
b. Signs printed on the surface of the road or curb, and signs on vehicles, will not be
used. Quoted signs will be on the right, or overhead, of the Rally route unless
otherwise indicated by SOL or SA (see definitions). Signs will be readable before or
as you pass them. Signs readable only after passing will not be used. The only speed
limit signs which will be used are those controlling your route of ravel.
c. Landmarks - A landmark is a physical thing or place, such as a main street, fire
hydrant, etc. References to landmarks in the route instructions will be capitalized
and may be underlined for clarity. Landmarks, and signs identifying them (if any)
may be located anywhere along the Rally route. Common landmarks will not need
identifying signs. Landmarks which are identifiable only after passing will not be
used.
d. Material identifying landmarks or quoted from signs will have no intervening words,
numbers, or letters omitted. Punctuation, arrows and artwork (illustrations,
drawings, etc.) need not appear in the route instructions but if they do, they must
appear on the sign as stated. Spelling must be exact. No attempt will be made to
duplicate the size, style, capitalization, or exact spacing or lettering.
5. Odometer Check
a. The first section of the Rally will be an odometer check. Its purpose is to permit
rallyists to calibrate their odometer against that of the Rally master who measured the
course. The end of the odometer check will be indicated in the route instructions,
and there will be no checkpoints during this sections. An elapsed time or an average
speed will be given for this section, as well as the official mileage. When you reach
the end of the odometer check, pull ahead out of the way and, if you are early, wait
for your proper time to leave.
6. Check Points
a. A check point marks the end of one leg of the Rally and the beginning of the next.
Checkpoints will be identified by a sign containing a checkmark and a point (period).
44
January 1, 2016
Stop only at those checkpoints that are on the right hand side of the Rally route. Do
not stop at the checkpoint sign. Stay in line with any other cars entering the
checkpoint at the same time. Pull up or beyond the timing table or car, and STOP!
A runner will deliver your timing slip. When you have received your timing slip,
pull well ahead of the timing area to make room for the arrival of following cars.
READ YOUR TIMING SLIP CAREFULLY! It contains important official
information such as assigned out-time, out-speed, next instruction, and any active
notes. Do not leave your car less you have a question concerning your recorded intime or assigned out-time and at the assigned out-speed.
