13.1 Impound

The impound will be a building, tent, or protected parking lot where every solar car will be secured under the direction and supervision of event officials. There will be no vehicle maintenance allowed on the solar cars while in the Impound. Solar cars transported to the Impound and arriving after 9:00 PM will be impounded immediately upon arrival.

13.2 Garage

The garage will be an area for charging and maintaining vehicles before and after the impound. No other vehicles will be permitted in the garage area.

13.3 Support Vehicle Parking

All support vehicles must be parked in this area. Maintenance or repair of solar cars requiring close proximity to their support vehicles must be done in the support vehicle parking area.

13.4 Headquarters

Event Headquarters will be located near the Impound and Garage area. All official announcements and postings will be at the Headquarters.

13.5 Accommodations

Teams are responsible for securing their own accommodations. In Dallas, the official SCC Hotel is the DFW Marriott & Golf Club at Champions Circle. On cross-country events, a special list of event hotels will be mailed to teams prior to the event so that timely reservations can be secured. Special team prices are available at all event hotels.
