ORDER OF RUNNING
|
1.
|
Competition will be on two successive days with one course run each day. Runs
will be scheduled into heats each day (heats will be assigned by car class).
|
|
2.
|
The gate will be opened between each heat to allow vehicles to enter/exit the grid area;
it will be opened for a maximum of 20 minutes. A countdown clock will be started
by the Timing & Scoring officials.
|
|
3.
|
All drivers will be offered a minimum of four runs on each of the two courses.
|
|
4.
|
Cars will run in numerical order by class (except as necessary and directed by the course
chief to facilitate efficient event operation) within each heat until all cars have made a
run, then the second run will begin. For cars with two drivers there will be a minimum
spacing of 5 minutes. After the completion of each run, vehicles must return directly to the
grid. Vehicles are not permitted to depart the grid area for service.
|
|
5.
|
Cars must be in staging at the specified 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.
|
|
6.
|
All re-runs will be made as specified in section 3.4.6 of the ASN National AutoSlalom Regulations.
In case a competitor is red flagged on course, the competitor may continue slowly through the
remainder of the course, or may exit the course directly and will be granted a re-run if appropriate.
Failure to exit the remainder of the course at an appropriate speed (generally 40 - 50 km/h) will
result in a DNF for that run. It is important to clear the course in a timely manner to insure the
event remains on schedule.
|
|
7.
|
The run/work order will initially identify only the days each class will run. Heat assignments
will be made once entry density and mix is known. In the case of extremely high or low entries,
withdrawals or no shows, changes in the run/work order may be required.
|
|
8.
|
There will be no PAX class for the ARMS Regional Championships.
|
|
|
TECH PROCEDURES
|
1.
|
Tech inspection will be at the event site.
|
|
2.
|
All drivers are required to state on the entry the brand of tire they run on. However,
the entry form does not commit you to a tire brand. This may be changed at tech. Tech
will check forms to tire brand, model and size teched.
|
|
3.
|
You may tech as many tires as you feel you will need. It is the responsibility of the
competitor for all additional tires acquired after tech inspection to be in compliance
with tread depth and safety specifications. Any tire which fails tech inspection may be
impounded by Chief of Tech until the completion of competition.
|
|

|
Helmets must
meet ASN Canada FIA AutoSlalom specifications and will be teched. Approved helmets must be

of the event.

ENTRANTS AS WORKERS
|
1.
|
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 Event
Chairman.
|
|
2.
|
Early work assignments that offset a normal work assignment must be pre-approved by the
Event Chairman and Chief of Workers. These assignments must be extremely limited to
prevent loss of critical support during the event. Serving as a volunteer prior to the
event is greatly appreciated and a key element in success of this event. However, this
does not automatically offset a normal work assignment.
|
|
|
WORKER MEETING NOTES
|
1.
|
Workers will report to their respective Chief of Workers before the beginning of the
last run of the heat prior to their assigned work heat for a brief instructional
session and assignment. First heat workers will report at 9:30 a.m. Subsequent heat
workers are to report to their specific Course Worker Chief before the beginning of
the third run on the previous Heat. Failure to report on time will result in an
additional work assignment after the finish of the last heat on that day. Not
complying with these rules will result in disqualification.
|
|
|
COURSE WORKER INSTRUCTIONS
|
1.
|
Course working is a serious assignment. Watch the other people in your station
and be aware that a car may leave the pavement if it becomes out of control.
DO:
- Check-in with the Chief of Workers prior to the beginning of your work heat.
- Make sure your station has adequate supplies (extra pylons, fire extinguishers,
red flag, and a clipboard with report forms).
- Know your area of responsibility and the location of your radio person.
- Make sure all of the cones in your area are in the proper place when you first
come on station AND periodically check them all during your work shift.
- Read and understand the pylon rules. Pointer cones do not count if hit.
- Pay attention to the cars on course for accurate cone counts AND your safety.
- Replace cones as soon as possible as another car will be through the course in
another 20-30 seconds.
- Be prepared for exposure to sun, rain, wind, heat, cold, etc. while on course.
DO NOT:
- Use cameras on a corner station.
- Sit down or wander from your post.
- Turn your back to the cars on course.
- Red flag a car unless instructed to do so by the radio person OR if it is an emergency.
However, if in doubt, err on the side of safety! The red flag must be kept in hand, held
against the leg, and ready for immediate deployment.
