Car Classification

For fully accurate classification information you should be looking at the CACC Time Attack Regulations. We post this information here as a courtesy, but it is not the official classification document.

NOTE: All Drivers new to running Knox Mountain Hill Climb must class their car according to the CACC Time Attack Regulations 2024. This classification system is based upon the SCCA Time Trials system.

Drivers who participated in a legacy class in 2023 or earlier MAY run in the Legacy Class again in 2024. Legacy classes may only be used when the driver and the car have participated at Knox Mountain Hill Climb in that legacy class in 2023 or prior. A returning driver with a ‘new’ car MUST USE the current CACC Time Attack classification system. A ‘new’ driver with a returning car must use the current CACC Time Attack Classification system.

2024 is the LAST year that the CACC Legacy classes will be allowed to run. Start preparing your car and yourself now for running in the above classes for 2025.
