Solo Tech InspectionSolo Tech Inspection

Every car must pass a tech inspection at each CCR Solo event, unless the car carries an annual tech sticker. Failure to pass the tech inspection will prevent a vehicle from participating in the event. If a problem is found, the participant does have the opportunity to correct the problem and present the car again for re-inspection.

Vehicles must be brought to tech in competition condition. All loose items must be removed before the car will be inspected.

Drivers must have been to registration BEFORE coming to tech.
