    Conduct of the Event

    1. Passing will only be allowed in designated areas with a point-by from the car that is being overtaken. Dive bomb passing is prohibited.  Failure to follow these strict rules will result in expulsion from the event. 
    2. Intentionally “cutting” the track or otherwise dropping wheels off the surface is strictly prohibited, but it is recognized that this is a competition event and that sometimes mistakes occur.  Repeated dropping of wheels is grounds for loss of session time or expulsion from the event.  It is not the intention of the officials to punish honest mistakes.
    3. A driver who comes to a halt on the track surface (due to a spin or any other reason) or who puts all four wheels off track, and is unable to continue is required to report to the pits
    4. Barring event problems, entrants will get two track sessions of 20 min each in the morning and two track sessions of 20 min in the afternoon.

Transponders will be used for timing and scoring the event.  Damage to transponders is solely the responsibility of the entrant.  In the event transponders are not available or not working, competition runs will be hand timed and lap times will not be officially provided for practice sessions.
    6. Entrants are not required to work the event.  
    7. The Chief Driving Instructor and Chief Safety Steward will hold a mandatory drivers meeting prior to each day’s competition.  This meeting is the instruction session for the event and all entrants are required to attend.  Driver safety practices will be discussed.
    8. Sound control will be measured and enforced as specified in section 5.7 of the GCR.  All vehicles will be monitored and the readings will be posted below the timing tower at lunch and at the end of the day.
    9. No trophies will be awarded.
