The amount of the rebate is directly proportional to the number of entries beyond that required to meet the events base fixed costs. Early Entry Rebate does not apply to RallyMoto entries. Entries paid after August 6, 2010 are not eligible for the Early Entry Rebate.

A. Rally Entry $600, Entry payments made at the event must be paid in cash only. B. RallyMoto Entry $275 received on or before August 6, 2010, $350 if received after August 6, 2010. Entry payments made at the event must be paid in cash only. C. Early Entry Rebate
If your entry is paid in full prior to August 6, 2010 you are eligible for the Early Entry Rebate based on the number of rally entries actually starting the rally. RallyMoto entries do not apply to these numbers or rebates. Rebates will be paid via check when time cards are handed out on Saturday morning. Number of Entries Rebate Amount 19 or fewer $0 20 $50 21 $76 22 $100 23 $120 24 $140 25 $160 26 $175 27 $192 28 $207 29 $220 30 or more $230

Standard stage rally procedures apply for on-stage accidents. Remember to use your Red Cross and O.K. placards appropriately. There will be ham radio operators at the start, finish and blockages. The blockage/ radio locations are noted in the Route Book. To secure the quickest EMT response for a medical emergency, stop at the next closest radio location indicated in the Route Book.

B. Additional Special Fire Safety Requirements

To better prepare competitors to prevent a fire, each team must: 1. Each competition vehicle must carry on board a shovel suitable for use in extinguishing a small grass fire. Folding field shovels are acceptable for this requirement. 2. At any time a vehicle is forced to stop along a stage, after placing warning triangles, the team must remove theses items from their vehicle and stand ready to prevent a fire from their vehicles catalytic converter.

15. Reseeding
Floating reseeds will take place several times during the event. This floating reseeds allows faster teams to move up in the starting order for safety reasons. A floating reseed does not always allow enough time for a team to be place in their precise position on the road based on their current position in the event. Use of the floating reseed may slightly increase or decrease the time allow in a service area for a given team.

16. Racing Fuel and Refueling Zones

Competitors are responsible for providing their own racing fuel. Pump fuel is available near the headquarters and park entrance. In the Best Rest Hotel parking lot and Hungry Valley service area, refueling must be done in the designated refueling zones. Refueling at service stations is also allowed. If the competitors remain in the car during refueling, the vehicle doors must be opened and the seat belts completely undone.

17. Maximum Permitted Lateness (MPL)

Because several stages are run multiple times and often in both directions, a Maximum Permitted Lateness is therefore necessary to keep the rally on schedule. Teams falling behind schedule are subject to being excluded from the event. Competitors are allowed 15 minutes to finish each stage and then allowed to accumulate up to a maximum of 15 minutes of additional lateness between MTC's. 7

The MPL is calculated by allowing 15 minutes for each stage run since the last MTC and then adding the fifteen (15) minutes of allowed lateness. Competitors exceeding this total are subject to being excluded. Therefore, a competitor taking more than 30 minutes to complete any single stage may be excluded from the event. Delays may alter the MPL. The radio network will be kept abreast of any changes.

18. Servicing
Service to competitors vehicles by service crews is only permitted at locations defined in the route book. We have also defined these areas in the service routes, schedules and maps. With the route there will be almost constant access between the competitors and service.

19. After Rally Party

Please plan to join us in front of the hotel at the final MTC for liquid refreshments and snacks.

20. Spectating
For safety reasons, spectating at the 2010 Gorman Ridge Rally will be limited to daytime only and only one location for the entire event. This location will be the South end of Stages 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Maps to the spectator area will be available at the Rally Headquarters. All spectators must sign the event waiver and be issued an identification wristband. All minors must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. All spectators must stay within the designated spectator area. The event will be stopped or delayed at any time to move or remove spectators outside these designated areas.

21. Car Numbers and Sanctioning Body Logos

Please allow space on both front doors as specified in the NASA Rally Sport regulations for these numbers and the event identification.

26. Super Rally

In order to award all teams entered in the rally with USRC Championship Points, this event will use the USRC Super Rally format as defined in the USRC Championship Regulations and as modified in these Supplemental Regulations. Under the Super Rally format, all competitors starting the first stage of Leg 2 will be a finisher if they meet the Super Rally requirements. They will be placed in the final results as finishers after application of all applicable Super Rally penalties.

A. Eligibility For Restarting Leg 2

Any crew that has retired from Leg 1 may re-start the Rally from the start of Leg 2. This shall apply to any vehicle that has been excluded on the grounds of exceeding the maximum permitted lateness or has failed to report to a control, but shall not apply where the car has been excluded for breach of eligibility requirements, traffic infringements, or by the decision of the Stewards. The team has to notify Mike Gibeault (Scoring) prior to the first car starting the Leg 2

B. Failing to Complete the Final Stage and Super Rally Penalties

Any crew that retired from the last Leg will be classified after the application of a 5-minute time penalty added to the fastest time in the competitors class for each missed stage which shall include the special stage on which the crew retired. Should retirement occur after the last special stage, the crew will penalized as having missed that last special stage. However, in order to be classified, their car must meet all the requirements of Section 27 and 28, of these Supplemental Regulations. All other applicable penalties that have been accrued will be assessed per event regulations. Should there be no finishers in the competitors class, the next lower classs fastest time will be used. Should there be no lower class, the fastest time from the next higher class will be used.

27. Final Checks
