GCRs. All vehicles (and driver’s personal safety equipment) must be submitted to the Scrutineer and must successfully pass any and all inspections before registration is complete. It is the entrant’s responsibility to properly classify the vehicle and declare all modifications.

∙ Insurance Waiver Form: All drivers, crew & spectators must sign the Organizer’s Insurance Waiver Form in order to enter event site. Registration is not complete until this is done! Minors are required to sign a Minor Release Form and are required to show a properly signed Parental Consent Form (forms are available at http://www.asncanada.com)

∙ Deadline for Entries: Registration will remain open until the last car in the first run group makes its run on the course.

Results: Official results will be posted on the ARMS web site.

Additional Regulations:

∙ 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.

∙ Competitors will be arranged into two run groups side by side in the paddock area. Cars in the same class will be grouped together in these two parking areas with multiple driver cars at the head of the rows and interjected into the run group with a minimum spacing of 5 minutes or 5 cars at the discretion of the organizers.

∙ 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.

∙ 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.

∙ Guests of drivers (including 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 enter the site and be present in the pre­grid, grid, staging and course areas. Waiver forms will be present at the manned entry gate.

∙ The general public (those not directly accompanying drivers) will not be permitted on site (within fenced zone).

∙ Refueling of cars on site may be permitted only when accompanied by an assistant and suitable fire extinguisher. Clean up any spills.

FWD
RWD

We certainly could not have done this without Sponsors to help keep our expenses down!

Please go out of your way to support and thank these companies for their contributions in helping us make this event great
...for instance when visiting the store, always start the conversation off with "I saw you as a sponsor at the NBSCC event and thought I'd come in" :wink:

I would be, but I've got some last minute wrenching to do before the Nationals next weekend. :(

Course is set and chalked ...and is a thing of beauty with nice long straights, slalom spacings at 32 paces, couple of lane changes, and a decreasing radius corner.

BTW fun fact...

With the super tide brought on with the full moon ...we actually had sea water 8O coming out a manhole and flooding one part of the course halfway through our runs (check out the windshield spray on Kent's yellow MINI in the previous post)
