7. CAR NUMBERS: Will be assigned by the Registrar upon receipt of a properly submitted entry, with fee attached. Due to the nature of the groupings and “national” aspect of this event, no permanent numbers can be honored. If your first choice is no longer available on the drop-down list when you register, contact the Registrar (see number above) to attempt to work things out. Any necessary number changes must be verified by Tech prior to Tech Inspection stickers being issued. Note: Pro-IT rules require that the appropriate series’ decals, stickers and/or patches be properly displayed on all cars, and drivers, in these events. In addition, any Group or Event designation sticker issued at Registration must be displayed on the car for all sessions.

8. TECH INSPECTION: Those with a valid Annual Tech sticker should bring their vehicle log book(s), helmet, and driving suit to pre-event Tech Inspection. Since this is a highly visible SCCA event, all patches and logos for competing organizations must be covered or removed from both vehicles and driving suits. Those without a valid annual tech must bring their vehicles to pre-event Tech.

9. TRANSPONDERS: The AMB timing system will be in use at this event. Each vehicle must have a working AMB transponder during all on-track sessions. AMB transponders may be purchased (rental units are also available) from SafeQuip, 1-800-247-4260.

10. QUALIFYING: Due to the “seamless” nature of the qualifying sessions, cars will be gridded as they arrive for their sessions. The second group (when listed) should stage in the area before the false grid and enter the grid immediately after the preceding group enters the track. If a car’s time cannot be resolved due to incorrect entry information, inoperable transponder and/or incorrect/illegible car numbers, that car will not receive a time for that session. It is the driver’s responsibility to verify that entry information is accurate and that the correct operating transponder is installed on the race vehicle.

11. 120% RULE: GCR Rule 3.1.1.C.2 will be in effect for this event. Any driver/car combination not qualifying within a maximum of 120% of the qualifying time for the fastest car in their class must obtain permission from the Chief Steward in order to race.

12. OVERSUBSCRIPTION: The GCR limits the number of vehicles on track at Road Atlanta to 65. Should more entries than that be received for any race group, the qualifying sessions will be split at the discretion of the Chief Steward with all cars in a given class in the same session. The fastest cars per class will start the race with the number of starters per class directly proportional to the number of entries per class until the race group maximum is reached. Those not starting the race in an oversubscribed race will receive a refund of their entry fee less $100. Group compositions are also subject to change based on actual entries received.

13. GRID: No fueling of cars on the grid. No tractors, electric carts, or any other vehicles used to tow racecars or transport parts or related equipment will be allowed access to the grid. Only the Chief of Grid or the Chief’s delegate can grant exceptions.

14. STARTS: Split starts may be given at the discretion of the Chief Steward. Separate pace cars will be used and the classes will start approximately 25 seconds apart. If there is a split start, each group will receive a separate waving green flag to indicate a start. For all races, the pole car is responsible for maintaining the pace set by the Pace Car until the green is displayed. Any car jumping the start may receive a black flag.  In the event of a wave off, extra pace laps will count as race laps.

15. IMPOUND: At the conclusion of each of Saturday’s races the top three (3) finishers in each class should stop at the Winner’s Circle for interviews and photo opportunities. At the conclusion of all races (and any Winner’s Circle obligations), the top four (4) finishers (top 5 for Pro-IT) in each class must proceed directly to the Tech area for inspection. IF IN DOUBT, REPORT TO IMPOUND. All IT competitors must present factory shop manuals as part of the impound procedure. For Saturday’s races, manifolds, induction systems, and cylinder heads will be removed and examined for porting and polishing. Bore, stroke, and displacement will be calculated and carburetors will be checked for primary/secondary operation. At the discretion of the Chief Steward, additional inspection may be required. The Chief Steward may, at any time during the event, require all or some cars in each class to be impounded for inspection. The competitor shall be responsible for performing any required disassembly/reassembly. At least the top three class winning ARRC competitors will be inspected after their races. There will be no sealing of engines for those cars running in both the ARRC Championship races and Sunday’s races. All teardowns will be completed Saturday evening.
