2000 ONTARIO REGION SOLO EVENT REGULATIONS,

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION,

These Rules and Regulations are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of Solo events and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for such events. The Rules and Regulations of Sections 1 to 3 shall govern the conduct of all Solo I and II events in C.A.S.C. - Ontario Region. By registering for these events, all participants shall be deemed to have understood and contracted to abide by these Rules and Regulations. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death or property damage to participants, spectators, or others.

RULES APPLY TO ALL SOLO EVENTS

Each Solo I or Solo II event in Ontario Region must comply with Section 1 to 3 while Sections 4 to 7 apply to all Regional Championship events and are optional for all other Solo events. This is to say all Solo events (definitions below), including informal club level events, must comply with Sections 1 to 3 in order to be covered by Club Insurance.

ORDER OF PRECEDENCE

The precedence of Regulations shall be as follows:

1. CASC General Competition Rules and (planned) Solo Supplement

2. Regulations of the CASC Competition Committees (2000 Solo Regulations)

3. CASC Bulletins

4. CASC Series Regulations (if applicable)

5. Event Supplementary Regulations

6. Instructions from Officials

Event supplementary Regulations must not contradict these Rules and Regulations.

A rule that is specific to Solo I or II does not modify the intent of a similar rule for the other discipline and is to be ignored entirely by the other discipline.

DEFINITIONSDEFINITIONS

Solo 1 One-car-at-a-time speed events, held under these Solo 1 Regulations, where speeds reach those of racing. Competitor and spectator safety is of highest concern. Events include time trials, sprints, driving schools, testing and practice days and any other event held under these Regulations except a defined Solo 2 event and never drag races.

Solo 2: An event held on a paved smooth surface (except an ìice diceî which is held on an icy surface but never over open water) where the course typically resembles a miniature road course defined with pylons. The course design emphasizes the driversí handling skill rather than just car performance. Hazards and speed should not exceed normal legal highway driving. These include autoslaloms, driving skill tests, ice dices and schools that teach the skills to compete in any of these.

SECTION 2: SAFETY AND COMPETITION

2.0.1 HELMETSHELMETS

1 Helmets may be either open faced or closed face. They must be in good condition both inside and outside and never subjected to a crash or other severe impact.

2 (a) In Solo II, Snell 1985M or newer M helmet (motorcycle standard) are acceptable in all cases.

(b) In Solo I, a Snell 85M or newer M helmet is acceptable provided the car is not equipped with a roll cage:

STOCK

SUPER STOCK

STREET PREPARED

(c) It is expected Snell 2000M specification helmets will become available later this year, in this case Snell 85M helmets will not be accepted in year 2001.

3 In Solo I Modified Class competitors whose vehicles are licensed for street use and are competing on DOT approved tires only require an M rated helmet. An SA rated helmet is required by other Modified class drivers.

4 In Solo I, the driver of a vehicle equipped with a roll cage (regardless of class) requires an approved Snell SA rated helmet and 5 point seatbelt (NB: does not apply to cars with a roll bar).

5 Solo I competitors are advised that helmets meeting these standards will be accepted up until:

1985M, 1985SA December 31, 2000

1990M, 1990SA December 31, 2001

1995M, 1995SA December 31, 2006

2.0.2 SEAT BELTSSEAT BELTS

STOCK

SUPER STOCK

STREET PREPARED

3 In Solo I a five point, or better, restraint system is the required seat belt for the following:

Any car, any class, if equipped with a roll cage

All Modified Class cars

4 All competitors shall properly wear an approved seat belt (restraint system) during practice or competition. The competitor has the responsibility to ensure the seat belts in the car are in good condition and properly installed.

5 A non OE shoulder harness shall be mounted behind the occupant and slope downward from where it leaves the shoulder, at an angle of 45 degrees or less from the horizontal. Where appropriate, it is recommended to mount shoulder straps of non OE seatbelt systems to the mounting points used for the factory rear seat belts.

7 Competitors not using original equipment hardware shall use SAE grade 5 bolts or better. All mounting points shall be either original equipment mounting points or the frame or the roll cage or an adequately reinforced point. Reinforcements shall be adequately large and of sufficient thickness to prevent distortion under extreme load.

8 In a Solo I School only, a 3 point safety belt and Snell M helmet are acceptable minimum safety equipment for any closed wheel vehicle without a fold down or completely removable top.

2.0.3 FIRE SAFETYFIRE SAFETY

1 It is recommended that all competitors while competing or marshaling, wear long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes and socks, all made from non-nylon materials.

2 Solo I Modified Class competitors except those whose vehicles are licensed for street use and competing on DOT approved tires shall wear single layer Nomex (or equivalent) gloves and driving suit in good condition, subject .3 (below).

3 All Solo I competitors driving open wheel formula cars (i.e. F-1600, F-4, etc.) shall comply with CASC-OR Regional Racing safety requirements.

Minors (under 18) may be carried as passengers provided they have the consent of the organizer and they and their Guardian have signed the Underage Waiver (a different waiver than for adults). Minors must be at least 9 years old to ride.

2 Passengers must wear the same, or better, safety equipment as required for the driver and must keep their hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.

2.3.0 DRIVING AND SCORING

A A competitorís score for a run shall be recorded as the time in seconds plus penalties. A DNF (defined) , (Did Not Finish), may be recorded in letters or alternatively a club may add 200 seconds (or other announced amount) to the actual time achieved.

B If, during a competitorís run, the vehicle leaves the course through the official exit, the remaining laps of the run will be recorded as a DNF.

C A competitor may only enter an event once, however, any vehicle may be entered by multiple drivers subject to a maximum of 3 in Solo II and 2 in Solo I at a Regional Championship Event.

D If the competitor fails to leave the start position, their run shall be recorded as a DNS. (did not start).

E Elapsed times and penalties for each run by each competitor shall be posted continually throughout the event.

F If identical times are recorded for two or more vehicles in the same class or candidates for the same award, the second best times will be used as a tie-breaker.

N Each entrant or driver shall be responsible for the conduct of their crew.

O Competitor help is essential for the success of events. Organizers may require competitors to marshal and may exclude one or more results or deny runs of those who do not. Why not help in the organization of an event or series to avoid marshaling and learn the sport? (newcomers welcome, ask!)

2.3.1 DRIVING AND SCORING, SOLO II

A If a pylon, including the end pylon, is not left standing in a vertical position or is totally displaced outside it's marked location (typically called "down or out"), a two-second penalty shall be assessed.

B If the competitor after leaving the start position and before completely stopping in the finish box, leaves the course, reverses (backs up) or steps out of their vehicle or removes their seatbelt, that run shall be recorded as a DNF (defined in 2.3.0) .

C If a vehicle comes to a stop in the stop box and is touching or resting against any of the pylons marking the stop box's outline, then a 2 second penalty will apply for each pylon so affected. The vehicle is allowed to drive forward to attempt to correct this situation provided that in doing so it does not contact the end pylon of the stop box.

D If the competitor fails to complete the entire run, fails to exit directly from the course via the finish box after completion of the run, that run shall be recorded as a DNF.

E Vehicles shall run in consistent order as determined by the Organizer.

F Either a RED or YELLOW flag used at a Solo II means STOP as soon as possible and await instructions. It must be obeyed without question.

2.3.2 DRIVING AND SCORING, SOLO I

A If, during a competitorís run, the vehicle leaves the course or causes an incident which delays the running of the event, all laps of the run will be recorded as DNF. (did not finish). ìLeaving the courseî is defined as having all 4 wheels off the paved racing surface (which includes the curbs) at the same time, moving a vehicle in a direction different to the direction to which the course is to be run or reversing (backs-up) the vehicle.

B Vehicles shall run in consistent order as determined by the Organizer and announced (and communicated to the Director) at least 2 days prior.

2.4 RERUNS

A A Rerun is only granted when authorized by the Organizer in Solo II and the Clerk of the Course in Solo I.

B When a rerun is granted, it shall be taken the equivalent of 5 cars after the competitorís original numerical run order

C Pylon and other penalties are carried over to a rerun.

D A rerun shall only be for the number of timed laps affected.

E If a competitor is red-flagged or yellow-flagged while on their run, a rerun may be granted provided the competitor did not cause the flag.

F If a car is red-flagged as a result of a timing failure, a rerun may be granted by the Clerk of the Course.

B In Solo II if a course pylon is not replaced before a competitor enters that portion of the course, the competitor must stop immediately. A rerun will be granted by the Clerk of the Course, subject to confirmation by the Organizer.


2.5 VEHICLE NOISE

A. The maximum vehicle noise-level shall be 90 dBA in Solo II and 95 dBA in Solo I. In Solo I, it will be measured on the inside of a turn, from a safe location, unless otherwise specified by Event Regulations. There are no appeals possible. An organizer may specify a higher or lower noise level.

B The Clerk of the Course at Regional Championship Events will prohibit any vehicle from running which exceeds the noise level as measured by a CASC approved Noise Meter. At any Solo II or a non championship Solo I event the Organizer or Clerk may prohibit any vehicle from running which would be deemed offensive by the general public.

SECTION 3: EVENT ORGANIZATION SECTION 3 EVENT ORGANIZATION

3.0 COURSE SAFETY

A It is important that the spectator viewing areas and the spectator parking areas be kept a safe distance from the course, especially the start/finish area. Course security is a must at all times. Uninformed and misguided spectators are to be expected, and adequate crowd control provisions must be made to avoid their unwanted and dangerous wanderings onto the course area. Unless protected by substantial barriers, spectator areas are to be roped off or clearly defined.

B Full consideration must be given to safety in the pits, around the start/finish areas, and near the flag stations. Particular attention must be given to assuring that no-one including timekeepers and marshal are placed in hazardous locations.

C There must be adequate course marshals to oversee all competition runs and to ensure safety as well as equality to all competitors.

D Where the course is not visible in its entirety from a central point where the Clerk of the Course is located, a reliable communication system linking the flagging stations with the Clerk of the Course shall be established.

E The organizer must provide each marshal station and the start/finish area with red or yellow flags. The marshals must be instructed in their proper use.

F A minimum of two 10BC fire extinguishers must be provided at each event.

G The Organizer must have a prearranged plan to cope with major emergencies. This, as a minimum, means having quick access to an unlocked cellular phone with a list of local emergency phone numbers. Note: 911 dialing is not available in all areas, find out in advance!

3.0.1 SOLO II Course DesignCourse Design

The following rules of course design are provided to give organizers proper directions in designing or choosing a course and also to ensure that adequate safety precautions are met. A Solo II event may be open to a total novice and this should be taken into consideration in designing the course. It would be possible to set extremely strict and rigid standards for Solo II events with regard to speed and course dimensions. However, we do not want to outlaw sites that cannot accommodate a course of certain stated dimension or create the impression that so long as some magic speed limit is not exceeded these regulations are adhered to. Organizing an event that complies with these regulations calls for the exercise of prudence, good judgment and common sense. The protection of life and property shall be the prime factor governing all decisions relating to course design and safety.

A. Hazards must not exceed those encountered in legal highway driving.

B. Courses must be tight enough so that cars run the entire course in their lower gears. Speeds on straight stretches should not normally exceed 90 kph in stock or super stock cars, and the fastest portions of the course shall be those most remote from spectators and property. Turns should not normally allow speeds in excess of 70 kph in stock or super stock cars.

C. Courses should be open enough to allow good competition between large and small cars but should avoid sustained high speed, extremes in maneuverability and not be memory tests.

D. Turns and corners should be marked by course markers (except at a permanent facility such as a kart track). Corner limits must never be marked by curbs, buildings, poles, trees, soft shoulders, or other hazards likely to cause damage to a car or likely to cause a car to overturn.

E. A long straight (over 150 feet or 46 metres) should not terminate in an extremely sharp or decreasing radius turn.

F. Dips that get a car airborne must not be included.

G. The course should be designed so that noise, particularly tire noise, is kept to a minimum. Burnoutís are not permitted.

H. A double, mirror image, or similar type slaloms shall at no time permit the cars on the two separate courses to run within fifty feet of each other.

J Clubs must not run events that require the competitor to leave the car during a timed run or to start the event from outside the car.

K For slaloms, driving skill tests, and similar type events, a finish box with an end pylon shall be used. The minimum finish box length shall be forty feet.

L. The course boundary shall not normally pass closer that 25 feet (7.7 metres) from solid objects or curbs.

M The course must be a minimum of 15 feet (4.6 metres) wide. Single file slalom markers be at least 45 feet (13.8 metres) apart (including box entry or control gates). Measurements are from the edge of the cone.

N Where the venue is suitable, a Solo II may be held on a race track or kart track provided the layout used ensures risks to a competitor and their vehicle do not exceed the expectations (and abilities) of a potential Solo II competitor. Pylons (penalties) shall be used to direct competitors away from high curbs, soft ground or rough terrain.

3.1.0 PERMITS

A A club organizing a Championship Event is required to submit a performance bond of $250.00. The performance bond may by forfeited if the event is canceled or if either in the opinion of the Solo II/I Director or CASC-OR, and such a decision is ratified by the board of CASC-OR, that the event was not conducted in a safe and/or appropriate manner.

B No permit shall be required for a non championship Solo II event unless it forms part of a series with a prize package totaling $1000 or greater (in cash and/or merchandise valued a retail.

D In a lapping session or a Solo 1 driving school, passing is permitted if, and only if, Supplementary Insurance to permit passing of a moving car has been obtained (see rule 3.9.1, Insurance). Passing is only then permitted in designated areas if the leading car has signaled to be passed AND has slowed down. Passing zones and procedures must be clearly explained both in the Supplementary Regulations and at the Drivers Meeting.

3.6 TIMINGTIMING

A An electronic timer shall be used as the primary timing system at all championship events. It shall be operated under the direction of the chief timekeeper throughout the event.

B If, in the opinion of the chief timekeeper, a failure has occurred with the timing system, a rerun may be given.

C In the event of a total failure of the primary timing system, another timing device capable of timing to the hundredth of a second shall be used and the event continues. The organizing club shall supply this timing device.

D If a competitors official time was on a timing system only capable of timing to a hundredth of a second while another competitors official time was on a timing system capable of timing to a thousand of a second, then the following shall apply: If and only if, the competitorís are tied to a hundredth of a second, then the thousandth of a second timing factor shall not be considered for scoring points or for club awards.

Example: a time of 61.495 shall be considered tied with a time of 61.49.

3.7 PADDOCK

A A paddock area will be provided for the use of competing vehicles and their services vehicles and a speed limit of 15km/h will be enforced.

3.8 STEWARDSSTEWARDS

A. Where no non-competing steward is appointed, either by the Region, or failing that by the Organizing Club then the Organizer shall appoint a committee of 3 competitors as acting stewards who shall carry out the duty of Chief Steward. Stewards, if possible, should be experienced competitors, come from differing classes and be members of other than the organizing club. Names of the steward(s) shall be announced at a driverís meeting.

B If the Event is not a Regional Championship Event and no prizes of monetary value are awarded, the organizing club may have the Organizer also act as Steward. Where the Organizer is also Steward, the Steward's/Organizer's penalties may not extend beyond the end of the Event. Competitors, crew and officials are still liable to CASC for their actions even when the organizer acts as the steward. Where the Organizer will also act as the Steward, this shall be announced at the Drivers Meeting


3.9 INSURANCEINSURANCE

A Non-speed event and one-car-at-a-time insurance is provided under the ASN Canada FIA master plan from K & K.

SECTION 4: REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SCORING

4.0 OVERALL CHAMPION FOR SOLO II AND FOR SOLO I

A The competitor with the greatest points from their 4 highest scored events (of 6) in Solo II and separately the competitor with the greatest points from their 7 highest scored events (of 12) in Solo I shall each be declared an Overall Champion. Solo I and II are 2 unrelated separately scored championships.

B Solo 1 Tie Breaking: In the event of a tie, the overall champion shall be the competitor who scores higher when both competitors are scored again, as below, based on the average of all the runs at each event. The competitors worse runs are excluded from this calculation. The number of runs to be excluded will be equal to the number of laps in one heat. If computer generated times are not available the Solo II method will be used for the effected events.

Example : Lap times 54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,DNF

Event is 9 laps with 3 laps per run

Tie breaking Points = 100 * (54/54 + 54/55 +54/56

+54/57+54/58 +54/59) / 6

Editorial: This only affects you if you are one of the competitors tied for the overall standing. This year your strategy will be first to win your class, then run consistent fast time all day. You are only allowed one big mistake (eg FWO which wipes out your heat) or 3 minor ones (your 3 worst lap times).

C Solo II, in the event of a tie, the Overall Champion shall be the competitor who scores higher when both competitor's years are scored again based on their second best times at each event.

4.1 ROOKIE CHAMPIONROOKIE CHAMPION, FOR SOLO II AND FOR SOLO I

A The novice competitor with the highest points from their 4 highest scored events in Solo II and separately the competitor with the highest points from their 7 highest scored events in Solo I shall each be declared a Novice Champion. The Solo II Rookie Champion will be scored on the basis of PAXed times while in Solo I it will be on the basis of points from events.

B To be considered a Solo II rookie, a competitor must not have competed in more than three solo, road race, ice race or equivalent status events, OR has ever held any Motorsport Competition License from any jurisdiction, prior to the start of the current year championship.

To be considered a Solo I rookie, a competitor must not have competed in more than 3 Solo 1, stage rally, race, ice races or equivalent events, or be a Solo 2 past Overall Champion prior to the start of the current Championship .

4.2 CLASS CHAMPION

A The competitor with the greatest points in a class from their highest scored 4 events Solo II and 7 events Solo I, shall be declared the respective disciplines class champion, provided they competed in a minimum of 4 events.

B If a tie exists, it shall be broken using the same method as for the overall standing as in section 4.0.

4.3 CHAMPIONSHIP SCORING SYSTEM

A To be considered a competitor for scoring purposes, a competitor must start the course at least once.

B A non competing chief event organizer or non-competing steward if appointed by CASC shall be awarded points equal to their best other event. These officials may drive timed laps and may compete for club awards provided no practice runs are taken. However, for points, the they shall not be considered a competitor, as part of a class and shall not be listed in the official results as a competitor. No individual shall be awarded points in this manner more than once during the series.

C. If an event is deleted from the championship and no substitution is made, the number of events to be scored shall de decreased by one for every event so deleted.

4.4.0 SERIES SCORING, SOLO II

A To be eligible to compete or score points, a competitor must be a full member of an Ontario Region CASC affiliated club. They must also meet all the requirements of registering for the Championship .

B A competitor may compete in only one Regional Solo II event without purchasing a club membership. However, a temporary club membership must be issued by the organizing club to ensure that proper insurance coverage is in effect at the event. The organizing club may choose not to charge for this one time issuance. The competitor may score championship points in those events if they subsequently purchases the required items before the next event and notifies the Organizer.

4.4.1 CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES SCORING, Solo I

A If a competitor requires a license at an event where a CASC-OR representative is not present, they may give the Organizer a cheque made out to CASC-OR for the amount of the desired license along with any relevant information. The competitor may then immediately compete as if they were a license holder. The organizer, after the event, shall complete and submit a license application on behalf of the competitor. If CASC-OR subsequently refuses to issue a license the competitor shall suffer a retroactive exclusion from all events, loss of points and awards.

4.5.0 SCORING CALCULATION (Solo I & II))

A 100.0 points for first in class, others receive: Class winners time / their best time x 100 points.

B Class X is said to be propositioned by class Y if the winner in class Y if faster than the winner of class X and the faster vehicle classified in Y which would run in class X if they had more preparation points. (that is to say, a class is propositioned if the winner of a ìslowerî class was faster than the winner of the ìfasterî class, see example below)

C If a class is propositioned then all the competitors in that class will be scored as a ratio of the faster time by the respective method below:

B S/P winner runs 50.0 sec

B S/S winner runs 51.0 sec

B S winner runs 49.8 sec

B S winner receives 100 points

B S/S winner receives 49.8/51.0 = 97.647 points

B S/P winner receives 49.8/50.0 = 99.600 points

C The class winner in A Mod must be the fastest time of day to score 100 points.

4.5.1 SCORING CALCULATION, Solo II

A The class winner must be faster than all lower classes in their family, e.g. the class winner in B/SP must be faster than the class winner in B/SS, who must be faster than the class winner in B1 who must be faster than B2 who must in turn be faster than B3. The times of family classes are not compared to other families i.e. B classes are never compared to A classes.

B New for 2000, due to limited population, the stock classes A3, A4, B3 and C3 will not be scored. Competitors have a choice, enter a stock class vehicle and have their scores adjusted by the timing program (i.e. be ìPAXed upî and have their recoreded times reduced) so they score in the first possible stock class or use the Set Up Rule (refer to the Index for the page number of ìStep Upî) to prepare their vehicle and compete in a higher class.

C The CASC Pax factoring system shall be used to determine event scores for those competitors in classes with less than 3 competitors. Each class family, such as B, will have a an event Pax factor calculated from the average "fastest factored" time for each filled (3+ cars) classes. Any underfilled classes (except Modified) will then be factored relative to its class family pax. For example if B1, B3 and B/SS had 3+ cars, their fastest time will be factored and then averaged (B1+B3+B/SS /3). Any cars in B2 and B/SP will be scored using this averaged B family pax. Modified vehicles are outside normal family classes, one in class will score 95 points and the winner of a class of 2 will score 97.5 points. No competitor in any situation will receive more than 100 points.

If there are no filled classes (3 or more competitors) within a family, then all competitors in that family will have their times paxed and scored against filled classes in other families, and if there are no filled class then all competitors will have their times paxed and scored against the fastest paxed time at the

event. A/Mod and B/Mod are similarly treated as a family in case either has no filled classes.

4.5.2 SCORING CALCULATION, SOLO I

A When there are less than 3 competitors in a class they will be scored as if they moved up one modification level. Points will apply to their original class.

The class winner can receive a maximum of 100 points (97.5 if both classes total to 2 competitors) or minimum of 95 (97.5 if the original class had 2 competitors).

If the class splits to more than one higher level then the competitors will be scored against the fastest of the modified classes. SP classes will move up to the fastest of BM or CM. BM and CM will move up to AM.

B In order to receive 100 points, the Class Winners in S/S, S/P and Mod classes must be faster than all the less modified classes, which form their class. For 2000, due to the ìcross overî cars, B and C classes, starting with SS can cross over and proposition, the following is to clarify this rule

BSS can be propositioned by BS or CS

CSS can be propositioned by BS or CS

BSP can be propositioned by BS,CS, BSS or CSS

CSP can be propositioned by BS, CS,BSS or CSS

4.6 STREET TIRE BONUSSTREET TIRE BONUS, SOLO II

Competitors who do not use an identified "Race" or "R" Compound tire will receive a 2% time bonus before their score is computed. Competitors shall put an ìSî after their car number to indicate they are claiming the bonus. Where there is a question as to where a tire fits, a decision will be based on the designed use and/or marketing of the tire. As clarity, the following are examples of R type tires, BFG R1, Yokohama A032R, A008R (all), Bridgestone RE71R, Pirelli P Zero-C, Goodyear ìSî tires, Hoosier (all), Toyo RA-1, Kumho V700.

Example Driver A runs 100.00 seconds on street tires

Drive B runs 99.00 seconds on R tires

Drive C runs 99.50 seconds on R tires

Driver A's time is adjusted to 98 seconds and is the

class winner

Drive A scores 100 points as the winner, B gets 98.989 (98./99x100) and C is third with 98.492 points (98/99.5x100). This rule, with a lesser bonus is proposed for Solo I for 2000.




4.7 IDENTIFICATION AND ADVERTISING

REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS

A Car numbers and class designation shall be displayed prominently on both sides of the vehicle. Solo II competitors shall put an ìSî after their car number to if they are claiming the street tire bonus.

Numbers shall be at least 8 inches high and 1 inch stroke width. Class designations and ìSî must be a minimum of 4 inches high and be positioned after the number.

B This is not an option, timing requires car numbers, however white shoe polish is acceptable. Only one entry number shall be displayed while on the course even if there are 2 drivers.

C Numbers must be removed or completely covered when the car is driven on the street, even for a short distance.

D Event and series sponsorship and contingencies are a partnership between the competitor and the sponsor. Competitors benefit from lower entry fees and better prizes while sponsors expect exposure from banners, mention on flyers and results and with decals on competitors cars. Competitors are required to assist in this partnership, even if they cannot see a personal benefit, by displaying sponsors decals prominently on their car (rather than on the rear window etc.) and assisting organizers to hang any banners. If you are personally sponsored by a company that competes with a series sponsor, please try to be professional and give both companies good exposure.

E Placement of series decals and associated sponsor decals is mandatory and cars not prominently displaying them will not be allowed to compete. For those people participating in the tire contingency program, the appropriate decals, from the same manufacturer, must be displayed a minimum of 5 events. All decals must be in place prior to event scrutinizing.

F In 2000 in Solo I competitors will receive one initial set of decals for free and all replacements will be sold for $10 a set. Decals may be mounted on sheet vinyl magnetic material. It is planned that decals will be available at every event, from registration.

G Solo I may require all cars on the grid to display proper decals.

4.8 TIRE REWARDSTIRE REWARDS, SOLO I

A To be eligible for tire rewards, the competitor must declare the brand tire used during the competition(s) on their entry form and competed on those tires.

B A competitor must run their registered tire brand and decals during all competitions..

C Only competitors running tires from one of the participating tire companies are eligible.
