-All competitors are required to work the event. Qualified replacements may be used as substitutes in worker assignments. However, workers must notify the Chief of Course prior to the substitution. Failure to comply or properly perform assigned duties will result in additional work assignments or disqualification, as executed by the organizers.
-Course workers must be on their feet at all times while cars are competing.
-While on course, all competition vehicles MUST BE identified by a car number and appropriate car class which must be visible from the timing and scoring area. Cars not meeting this requirement will not be scored.
-Upon successfully completing scrutineering inspection, the Scrutineer will provide a mark to be fixed to the exterior of the car for the duration of the event in a place visible to the Starter (upper left corner of the windshield is recommended). Cars must show the Scrutineer’s official mark or they will not be allowed to enter the course.
-Items that fail scrutineering inspection (eg. old helmets) may be impounded, and will be returned after the completion of the event.
-Regardless of the results of the scrutineering inspection, the entrant/owner is fully responsible for the safety and soundness of the vehicle and equipment, for full and complete disclosure of all modifications, and for properly classifying the vehicle.
-Cars will run in numerical order as determined at the Driver’s Meeting. For cars with two drivers there will be a minimum spacing of 5 minutes or 5 spaces.
-Cars must be presented to the starter in order and prior to starting time or forfeit that run (DNS). Exception: Drivers of cars with mechanical difficulty shall have 10 minutes after the car is scheduled to start, to present the car at the start line. Grid personnel will verify the mechanical difficulty, and will refer the request for a mechanical delay to the Chief Steward in cases where the competitor may gain an unfair advantage by delaying a run, for example changing weather conditions.
-Directional pylons (pylons which are laid on their side) are for informational purposes and do not count if hit. Directional pylons placed directly adjacent to a penalty pylon must be obeyed or a DNF will result. Directional pylons not adjacent to a penalty pylon are for informational purposes only and do not result in a DNF if not followed. If a directional pylon displaces a penalty pylon, the pylon penalty will be assessed.
-A penalty will be assessed for each displaced course entry and exit pylon. The course may be lined on both sides, weather permitting. Crossing a line incurs no penalty.
-All entrants are expected to be responsible for their own garbage. Please clean up before you leave the site.
-A speed limit of 20 Km/h will be enforced at the event site including pre-grid and grid. Tire spins, rapid speed or direction changes, or other "abnormal/unusual" driving techniques are strictly prohibited throughout the event site other than during competition.
-Children and pets are allowed anywhere on the event site EXCEPT during active competition. During active competition, children under 12 and pets are not allowed in the grid, staging and course areas. Pets must be leashed at all times.
-Drivers are responsible for the actions of their crew and guests. All must sign a waiver to be present in the pre-grid, grid, staging and course areas. Waiver forms will be available at registration.
-Refueling of cars on site may be permitted only when accompanied by an assistant and suitable fire extinguisher. Clean up any spills.
-All incidents involving injury and/or property damage occurring on the event site, or felt associated to the event will be reported as soon as possible to the Organizers.

Pretty sure they will not ship Nitto's to Canada. You will have to ship to Calais and pick up I suspect.

Yes, shipping to the shop in Bedford. I completed their online checkout and did not have any issues with entering a shipping address in Canada. I got the first order confirmation email, and am waiting on the next with invoice and tracking number etc. I guess if I don't get that one I should be concerned.

They are for the M3. I listed it and didn't get much interest in the first couple weeks, and the options I looked at were pretty worn out. I'll probably turn it into a dedicated autoslalom and track car now and have some fun with it.

If they do actually ship the tires, let me know. I've heard of them cancelling orders before due to kal tires stupid monopoly.

Kal tire? Really? I also priced them from 1010 and didn't see any restrictions on shipping. I'll let you know on the outcome.

I don't know where Vantage got their stash shipped to, I believe they came from Tire Rack though.

Maybe things have changed, Trevor says their distributor can get them now. When I ordered the website said nothing about not being allowed to ship here, and it let me process the order but I got a call later.

Confirmed, no shipping of Nitto's to Canada. Kal tire is eclusive, even though 1010 has a listing as well.

Lol, yeah that would have been convenient. I tend to make up my mind at the last minute on this stuff. Anyway, they are ordered and shipped to Calais, and I have pickup arrangements all sorted out.

Why is it that GM can put a donut good for 2000kms at 120km/h on a full size car, but everybody else puts on a p.o.s. that can't get me home from work?
