About this event
"Border Wars" Road Rally
June 16, 2012
Rain or Shine
Carbon Motors Plant, Connersville, IN
Price: $10 per car
The rally route will be easy to follow with an odometer reading for each instruction so nobody will get lost. There will be photos of items that participants will need to find along the route as well as questions to answer.
Part 1: The Turrets of Connersville is all run in Connersville with a focus on the local architecture and sights
Part 2: Trip to Wally World - Out of the ordinary drive to Liberty Indiana (east of Connersville) - may be some gravel in this part.
Part 3: Return Home
There will be places that participants can stop along the route and get a playing card. Playing cards will also be awarded based on the number of correct answers. Best hand wins. We will have a list of what beats what as far as cards go (or maybe we'll just say the highest number of points when all cards are added together?) Of course we'll come up with a creative tie breaker.
There would be three awards in two different categories:
1st, 2nd, 3rd place in Adult
1st, 2nd, 3rd place in Junior (Junior category must have a minor along on the rallly - of course, we will need waivers for all minors that participate)
See www.indyscca.org website for flyers on the event.

3. Uncompleted Work Assignments
All competitors MUST complete their scheduled work assignment in order to be eligible for event trophies or year-end points. If a competitor does not complete their work assignment during their scheduled time, the competitors scheduled runs will be forfeited and entry fee will not be refunded. If the competitor does not complete their work assignment after completing their scheduled runs, the competitor will be disqualified from the event, will not be eligible for trophies, and will not score any points towards year-end awards. If it is documented that a competitor has skipped work assignments at more than one event during a season, the competitor will be subject to possible exclusion from competing in future events per the Solo Chairman’s discretion.
4. Car numbering and lettering.
Per National rules, numbers must be a minimum of 8" high with a 1.25" stroke. Class letters must be a minimum of 4" high with a 0.75" stroke. They may be made of any durable material that contrasts with the car’s paint. We will allow tape as long as the finished product meets requirements and are on the car before tech occurs. The correct width tape in different colors will be provided at the event for people who don’t bring their own numbers.
“Shoe polish” numbers will not be allowed.
Positioning the numbers on the car’s paint is preferred, but numbers may be placed on the car’s rear-side windows with the following conditions: The numbers/letters must meet size and material requirements (no shoe polish). The window must be adequately tinted so high contrast is maintained. If the tinting allows much light/detail to pass through the window, then the high contrast is lost and won't be allowed. The numbers and letters do not have to be the same color, as long as high contrast is achieved. So, panel numbers that are the correct size, and have high contrast with the panel, can be used with a different class color to maintain contrast with the car color.
5. Helmets
There will be a limited number of loaner helmets available.
Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course:
All helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, SA2000, M2010, M2005, M2000, K2010, K2005, K98), SFI standards 31.1, 41.1, 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A or British spec BS6658-85 type A/FR are acceptable.
Formula Junior drivers must use helmets meeting the above, SFI 24.1 (Youth Helmets), Snell CMR2007 (Children’s Motorsports Restricted), or Snell CMS2007 (Children’s Motorsports Standard) specifications.
For maximum protection, helmets must fit securely and should provide adequate peripheral vision. The chin strap must be securely fastened.
