2009 SA Conditions of Rallying and SARC Series Supp Regs

Hi all,

Here are the 2009 SA Conditions of Rallying and the 2009 SARC Series Supp Regs. The key changes for this year are:

Overall
• Implementation of class based allocated numbers for the 2009 season (sect 10.3 c)
• Implementation of a SA Rally Champion Club Award (sect 6)
• Implementation of a South Australian Autocross Championship (sect 9)

South Australian Rally Championship (SARC)
• Creation of a “Modified Production” class to allow drivers with some older cars, not complying with PRC, Historic or Classic rules, to compete. Pls note: crews in these cars are not eligible for SARC points (sect 2.11 d)
• Extra scrutineering requirements (particularly for cars to be presented at main scrutineering) (sect 2.1 l)
• Better definition of DPI calculation when stages are interrupted (sect 2.2 b)
• Definition of, and changes to, eligibility to receive SARC series points (sect 2.5 a)
• Changes to series prizes of Sprint Auto Parts Rally SA entries (sect 2.11 i)
• Requirement for Road Books to have sufficient detail to allow crews to run safely on Road Book only (no pacenoting) (sect 2.1 g)
• Strong encouragement for consistent format for Road Cards, Control Cards, Service Guides, Spectator Guides and other event documentation across all events (sect 2.1 g)
• Definition of, and changes to, requirements for events to be able to obtain rebates from SARC Series Registration funds (sect 2.1 i)

South Australian Autosport Clubman Series (SAACS)
• Creation of an “All-comers” vehicle category. This just defines the category that was run in a number of individual events last year (then called non-intro or intermediate). This category is to allow crews who are not eligible as a Novice/Intro to run in cars which do not comply with PRC, Historic or Classic requirements (ie: can’t run in full Clubman). These crews are not eligible for SAACS points (sects 4.1 b ii) & 4.1 d 4.)
• Clearer definition of who is eligible to compete in the SAACS (sect 4.1 d)
• SAACS points structure brought in line with SARC points structure (sect 4.4 a & 4.5 d)
• Definition of A-B timing (sect 4.3 a)
• The Clubman section of RallySA will not count towards SAACS points (sect 4.1 a)

Other
• Date for the 2009 SA Rally Presentation Dinner (sect 10.1)
• Details of SARC and SA Rallying Series Sponsors (sects 10.2 f & 17)
• Details of Event Communication Support organisations (sect 13)
• Details of SA Major Rally Events (sect 16)
