PCA members may enter their Porsches in either theRestoration Group, Preparation Group or the PreservationGroup. The PCR Committee members can assist entrantsin classifying their Porsche for the upcoming ParadeConcours.

C-1. REFERENCED RULESThe rules referenced below apply to the concours.

(a) Eligibility (See G-2.1. through G-2.6.)

(b) Protests (See G-9.)

(c) Awards (See G-11.1 through G-11.2.)

(d) Entrants must complete on-site Parade check-inbefore the event or they will not be allowed to com-pete. Entrants requesting classification or classifica-tion changes must occur no later than 11AM daybefore the event starts. (See G-2.4.1.)

C-2. CLASSIFICATIONGROUP/CLASS DESIGNATIONSRefer to Appendix II, the Concours Organization Chart.• The chart has three columns, referred to as “groups.”• Within each group are “classes,” as many as required,

based on the quantity of Parade Concours entries.

"The Wiers of each ". Restoration, Preservation andPreparation-full will be rejudged for its Group Awards .

(For information about Factory Race, LimitedProduction, or Modified, see Appendix I.)

C-2.1. Restoration GroupThe grouping “restoration” implies that the enteredPorsche has been rebuilt, repainted, reupholstered, re-carpeted, trim re-plated, etc. in a comprehensive man-ner. The paint color need not be the original color butshould be period correct* for maximum originalitypoints. The upholstery need not be the original color,fabric, vinyl or leather, but should be period correct*for maximum originality points. The engine and/ortransaxle may have been upgraded or replaced entirely,but should be period correct* for maximum originali-ty points. Optional items such as radios, wheels, foglights, etc. may be added as long as they are period cor-rect* in terms of manufacture, color, finish, style, etc.Porsches that do not fit this description (e.g. not com-prehensively restored) do not belong in this group. TheKardex (build data sheet), Certificate of Authenticity orMonroney Label (window sticker) will not be exam-ined by the judges. Exception: if, in the opinion of thejudges, there is a question of originality or authenticityof an item, the participant may produce any type ofdocumentation he or she may have at the time of judg-ing to help in the decision process.

*Period correct is defined as the paint color, interior colorand fabric, optional equipment and other parts that wereavailable from the factory for that specific year and modelrange including optional paint and interior colors thatcould have been ordered.

Reference Judging Standards C-5.1.(a) for further classinformation.

It implies that the entered Porsche hasmost, if not all, of its original parts and surfaces (at least75% original factory applied top-side exterior paint, atleast 75% original upholstery and at least 75% originalcarpet). Should the automobile show with less than 75%,(more likely less than 60%), the judge may ask the entrantfor further explanation and/or more information. Theengine and transaxle must be original with no visibleupgrades. Non-standard reproduction parts are subjectto demerits (if the judge can tell the part is a reproduc-tion, by definition, it is non-standard).

Reference Judging Standards C-5.1.(b/b.1) for furtherclass information.

Classes for Preservation GroupAll entrants in this group are designated “Full.” All classesare identified with the suffix “F” following each classnumber. Classes are created from the following classifica-tions, which include Limited Production models whereapplicable.

(b) Preservation Group-Emphasis is on preservation ofthe automobile, it is to be given for maintained in theoriginal condition. Judging of automobiles in thisgroup will take into account the overall "utilization"of the Porsche as intended by the Porsche factory.Overall "utilization” will consider age of the car andtotal millage within each class. Ownership andpreservation of an automobile with reasonablemileage shall be considered superior to an automo-bile simply “stored” to avoid usual wear encounteredfrom normal use. Proof of authenticity such asKardex (build data sheet), Certificate of Authenticityor original Monroney Label (window sticker) isrequired for the automobile to be judged and will beexamined by the judges. Other documentation maybe used as proof of authenticity if, in the opinion ofthe judges, such documentation substantiates theautomobile’s authenticity. In the case of two automo-biles being equal in the opinion of the judges, lengthof ownership will be considered. The judges ratingfor the chassis (if judging is requested) will not bealtered due to the presence of fresh road dirt or signsof recent use.

(c) Preparation Group - Primary judging emphasis is onpreparation (presentation, cleanliness). Originality isnot judged. The build data sheet or other documen-tation for the automobile is not required and will notbe examined by the judges.

C-5.1.1. Judges. Each automobile will be inspected by ateam of judges, approved by the PCR Committee. Judges,including the Head Judge, will have had experience on anational or multi-regional level, or the equivalent, as ajudge and/or entrant.

C-5.1.2. Inspection of Automobiles (a) Restoration/Preparation - The judge may ask that

items such as caps, lids, and covers be removed forthe purpose of inspection provided no tools arerequired unless needed to gain specific access to thespare tire or the engine compartment. (The judgemay not remove any item from the automobile.) Forthe Restoration and Preparation Groups, the follow-ing components will be judged:

1. Exterior (Full, Touring, Street Classes)2. Interior (Full, Touring, Street Classes)3. Engine (Full, Touring Classes)4. Storage (Full, Touring Classes)5. Chassis, Front (Full Classes)6. Chassis, Rear (Full Classes)

(b) Preservation Group - The entrant may volunteer toremove caps, lids, covers for inspection by the judges,provided no tools are required unless needed to gainspecific access to the spare tire or engine compart-ment. (The judge may not request such items beremoved, nor remove any item from the automobile.)For Preservation Group, the following six compo-nents may be judged:

1. Kardex/ Certificate of Authenticity (COA), uti-lization and accompanying documentation (dataplate, paint plate. ect,).

2. Exterior3. Interior 4. Engine5. Storage6. Chassis

C-5.2. Judging Procedures The judging procedures are to be described on informa-tion sheets provided to Concours entrants at on siteParade check-in.

C-5.2.1. Removal of Caps/Covers/LidsC-5.2.1.1. Restoration/Preparation Groups. The judge mayask that items such as caps, lids, and covers be removedfor the purpose of inspection provided no tools arerequired unless needed to gain specific access to the sparetire or the engine compartment. (The judge may notremove any item from the automobile.)

(a.1) Cayman/Boxster's will have their engine covers removed prior to the start of the “light dusting”period (see C-4. (d) previous). This does notapply to the street classes.

(a.2) 991's will have their engine covers/fan assem-blies removed prior to the start of the “lightdusting” period (see C-4. (d) previous). Thisdoes not apply to the street classes.

C-5.2.2. Judging SequenceC-5.2.2.1. Restoration/Preparation Groups. The same teamwill judge all automobiles in a given division except whena division must be split due to the high number of entriesin the division. Each class in the division will be judged inits entirety before beginning inspection of other classes inthe division. Each judge operates independently, withresponsibility for only one component of the automobile(e.g. interior). Judging teams will not take any lengthybreaks, such as for lunch, during the judging of a class.Teams that have completed judging their Full Concoursdivisions may also judge classes in Touring and/or Street.

C-5.2.2.2. Preservation Group. The Preservation Groupjudging process will be primarily a “hands-off” processemploying a three or five (based on availability of quali-fied judges) person team per division, judging each auto-mobile as a focused team, with all judges examining eachjudging component of each automobile. The same teamwill judge all automobiles in a given division except wheredivisions are split or when precluded by time limits.

Example: all judges will, as a team, examine the exteriorfit, finish, trim, etc., with discussion as necessary. Then, asa team, they will examine the interior, then the engine,etc., discussing each particular component of the auto-mobile with other judges as necessary during the exami-nation.

The judging time will vary, with a minimum and a maxi-mum time period (based on number of entrants), tojudge each automobile. Interaction with the owner (ini-tiated by and terminated by the Team Chief Judge) andexamination of the automobile’s documentation are inte-gral parts of the Preservation Group judging process. Thetime taken for interaction with the owner and for exam-ining the documentation is not to be considered part ofthe judging time.

C-5.2.2.3. Judging Procedure for Split Classes. When morethan one team of judges will be required, due to the largenumber of entries in a given class, the following proce-dure will be implemented. The class shall be splitamongst the different judging teams. The “best” entriesfrom each portion of the split will be re-judged by a newteam of judges that may be composed of judges from eachof the previous teams and/or new judges. (Only the sec-

ond set of scoring sheets will be given to the re-judgedentrants.) The number of “best” entries from each por-tion of the split class should be equal to half the numberof trophies to be distributed (See G-11.1., Class Awards(e.g., if the total number of entries in the class is 14, sixtrophies will be awarded; therefore, three entries fromeach portion of the split class will be re-judged).

C-5.2.3. Last Minute Preparations. The preparations to beallowed on the display site must be determined and rulesmust be formulated for inclusion in the Parade supple-mentary regulations. The supplementary regulationsshall also include instructions regarding the removal ofcleaning paraphernalia and spare parts from the displayarea, including any related time limitations and the iden-tification of any storage area, if provided, for contestantswho do not have a safe place to store such items.

C-6. SCORING

C-6.1. FormsEntrants are responsible for bringing the concours formsfurnished at the on site Parade check-in to the event. Theforms will include a display card, a Master Score Sheet,and detailed score sheets. An announcer’s card may alsobe provided. Entrants should complete all applicable por-tions of the forms before judging begins. Official scoresheets, or reasonable copies there of, shall be returned toeach entrant. Samples of the score sheets that must beused are in Appendix IV.

C-6.2. Tied Scores (Restoration Group/PreparationGroup)

Tied scores will be broken by comparing the tied automo-bile’s scores for each of the following areas:

(1) Highest of raw exterior score(2) Highest of raw interior score(3) Highest of raw engine score(4) Highest of raw storage score(5) Highest of raw chassis front score

(full Concours only) (6) Highest of raw chassis rear score

(full Concours only)

Scores for each of the judging areas will be compared inthe order listed above. The first automobile having the

highest score on the first judging area at which the scoresdiffer will be awarded the higher position. If a tie stillremains, duplicate awards will given.

C-6.3. Posting of ScoresConcours scores shall be posted at the event site withinone hour after all properly completed score sheets foreach class has been received by Scoring. Copies of officialscore sheets shall be returned only to the entrant at timeof posting. The results of the judging shall not be dis-closed by the organizers and/or judges to any other com-petitor.

The Group Award judging will begin after all class compe-tition scores are posted, copies of each entrant’s scoresheets have been returned and after completion of theprotest period. (See G-9.4. “Protests.”)

The Parade driving event will be an autocross. It will be anall forward motion, skill autocross with a rolling start andfinish. Automobiles will be timed while driving a courselaid-out on a paved area. Safety of the entrants, workersand spectators will be of paramount importance in thedesign and conduct of the event.”

A-1. REFERENCED RULESThe rules referenced below apply to the autocross.

(a) Eligibility. (See G-2.1. through G-2.6.)

(b) Protests. See G-9.

(c) Awards. See G-11.1. and G-11.3.

(d) Entrants must complete on-site Parade check-inbefore the event or they will not be allowed to com-pete. Entrants classification or classification changesmust occur no later than the day before the eventstarts. (See G-2.4.1.)

A-2. CLASSIFICATIONDrivers are responsible for properly classifying their auto-mobiles. Refer to G-5.2. “Misclassification”, G-3.2.“Questions”, and G-9.5.3. (b) “Automatic Disqualifications”.

A-2.1. CategoriesThere are four categories of classes – Showroom Stock,Production, Improved and Modified. Categories arerelated to automobile configuration.

The Showroom Stock (S) Category contains classes ofautomobiles as normally delivered and specified for use inthe United States and Canada. Factory options as normal-ly available for a specific model year are permitted.Certain factory and/or dealer installed equipment/ optionswill move an automobile out of S and into Production orhigher as specified in the Modifications Allowed List(Appendix V) table so as to maintain the intent andintegrity of the Showroom Stock classes.

The Production (P) category contains automobiles (asnormally delivered to the United States and Canadianpublic through authorized sales outlets of the manufac-turer) plus others with limited performance-affectingchanges from stock.The Improved (I) category contains automobiles with

more substantial performance-affecting changes fromstandard (stock) specification, whether changed by thefactory, dealer or owner. These modifications havedefined limits. These automobiles are classed accordingto their number of cylinders and actual displacement.

The Modified (M) category contains automobiles thathave performance-affecting modifications outside of thelimits of the Improved category and for race automobiles(factory-built or otherwise). These automobiles areclassed according to their specified number of cylindersand actual displacement.

A-2.2. ClassesEach category is divided into classes, grouping automo-biles with similar performance potential. Each class isdivided into separate men’s and ladies’ groups for scoringpurposes. Classes prefixed with “S” are for ShowroomStock, those with “P” are Production Classes, those with“I” are Improved Classes and those with ”M” are ModifiedClasses. Men’s and Ladies classes are designated with asuffix “M” or “L” respectively as appropriate for each classas designated in the Class Chart below (example: S01M,P08L or M04M).

Showroom Stock classes are available for a limited num-ber of recently manufactured automobiles. Those auto-mobiles exceeding the Showroom Stock class allowances,not listed in Showroom Stock or not considered factoryrace cars are considered Production automobile modelsand are initially assigned to a Production class. Thoseindividual automobiles with significant modifications are“progressed” into classes with higher performance poten-tial. Modifications are discussed under “CategoryProgression” below. The numerical assignments of theclasses do not necessarily indicate relative performancepotential between classes. Factory and non-factory racecars are considered modified and are classed by the num-ber of cylinders and actual displacement.

These classes, plus those reserved exclusively for progressedcars, are presented in the Class Chart. For the purpose ofautomobile classification, factory options as normallydelivered for a specific automobile and/or model year arepermitted. Certain factory and/or dealer installed equip-ment/options will move the automobile out of theShowroom Stock or Production Categories. This includesR-rated, less than 180 treadwear, tires even if they were on

the automobile as delivered. However, those dealer and fac-tory options that are not considered to improve perform-ance are allowed in the Showroom Stock and Productionclasses (i.e., trim packages, air-conditioning, etc.).Showroom Stock automobiles, delivered from the factorywith tread wear of less than 180, may run in their respectiveProduction Category classes. These automobiles must runthe N-spec tires specified by Porsche for that year andmodel and have no additional alterations or modifications.Showroom Stock or Production classes are also the startingpoint in the determination of final classification of theautomobiles that have been changed from stock.Production based “racing” automobiles will be classedaccording to their initial car type and the modificationsthey have as specified in these rules.

If an automobile is not a United States-specification auto-mobile, the entrant must be able to prove that the auto-mobile is equivalent to the respective Production auto-mobile (as delivered to the United States public throughauthorized sales outlets of the manufacturer) to qualifyfor Production classification or equivalent to the respec-tive Improved automobile to qualify for Improved classi-fication; otherwise the automobile will be classified in theModified category. DOT and/or EPA Certification alonedo not make an automobile equivalent to a U.S. specifica-tion automobile for the purposes of the PCR’s.

For Production category automobiles, the classification ofyour automobile depends not only on the model but alsoon the type of changes (if any) made to or options on theautomobile. Improvements and alterations may causeyour automobile to progress into a different class.

The Modifications Allowed List provides an overview, butnot a definition, of what modifications are allowed forwhat categories. Each category section will define thelimits or allowances for particular items as listed below. Ifa modification is not specifically listed, it is not allowed inthat category except in Modified. See Appendix V for theModifications Allowed List.

A-2.5. Allowances

IF THE PCR’S DO NOT SPECIFICALLYPERMIT A MODIFICATION, IT IS NOTALLOWED EXCEPT IN MODIFIED.

Allowances are divided up into five categories: Free,Showroom Stock, Production, Improved and Modified.

Some modifications are "free," that is, allowed withouteffect on classification. Other modifications from Stockare considered to affect performance and therefore maymove the automobileinto any of the Production,Improved or Modified depending on the performanceeffect of the modification. If certain modifications speci-fied in the text are performed on your automobile, youwill be moved to the Production, Improved or Modifiedclass where that modification is permitted. In Modified,the rules specify the minimum requirements necessary tocompete. General automobile technical specifications arelisted in Appendix VI.

A-2.5.1. Engine Swaps. Only Porsche automobiles withPorsche-based engines, may enter the autocross.

A-2.5.2. Update/Backdate Modifications (Production/Improved). Major assemblies, such as engines and transmis-sions, may be substituted if the parts are from the same seriesautomobile. Some changes affect classification; others do not.

(a) Changes Within Model Range: Automobiles may beupdated or backdated without effect on classificationprovided the specifications remain within theboundaries of the model range for the automobile.Model ranges are defined in the chart below. Majorspecifications are given in Appendix VI.

(b) Changes Outside the Model Range: The degree ofupdating or backdating will, in most cases, affect thedegree of class/category progression. Selective sub-stitution, as opposed to complete substitution, mayresult in a category change. For instance, if only oneor two major components (such as an engine and/ortransmission) are substituted from outside themodel range without completely updating or back-dating the automobile, then the automobile maychange categories. However, if an automobileshould be completely updated or backdated, itwould then be classed according to its new (substi-tuted) model range. An example would be a 1972911 engine installed in a 1967 chassis. Then toachieve a complete update, a 1972/1973 transmis-sion and associated ring and pinion gear must alsobe installed plus the wheel base must be lengthenedand the new weight must be in the 1972/1973 range.Items that do not affect performance need not bechanged. Car must meet all specifications perAppendix VI.

A-2.5.3. “Free” Modifications. Safety equipment is freein all classes except Showroom Stock, provided limitsof any class category are met. Items considered freeinclude harness bars, fire extinguishers, non-factoryseat belts, race seats, window nets, head rests, cut-offswitches, tow hooks, seat back braces and requiredmounts for any of the above. In Showroom Stock,attachments points or mounts for any of these itemsmay be left in the automobile, but the actual devicewill not be allowed to remain or be used if it could beconsidered to provide the driver or the automobile anyperformance advantage.

A-2.5.4. Showroom Stock Modifications. Unless other-wise specified in these rules, no alterations or modifica-tions are allowed to these automobiles.

Only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wheelsas originally specified and OEM tire sizes as originallyprovided and/or specified for each specific model yearare permitted. All Showroom Stock class tires musthave a tread wear rating of 180 or greater. Wear andtear items, excluding tires, must be comparable in con-struction and specifications to the originally suppliedfactory components. Adjustments are permitted pro-vided no modifications and/or alterations are neces-sary to achieve the desired adjustment. Automobilesmust run with their spare tire, jack, lug wrench,owner’s manual(s), tools, etc. Owner’s manual(s) willbe used to help verify questionable equipment optionsand designated wheel/tire sizes.

No aftermarket equipment that might be reasonably per-ceived as performance affecting is permitted in theseclasses. Items included in this restriction include, but maynot be limited to, aftermarket air filters, aftermarketexhaust systems, aerodynamic aids, computer chips,five/six point seatbelts, race seats, harness bars, roll bars,roll cages, etc.

A-2.5.5. Production Modifications. The Production cat-egory is for street automobiles altered beyond theShowroom Stock limits and older Porsches. The follow-ing adjustments, alterations or modifications are allowedin the Production class automobiles plus what wasallowed in Showroom Stock. Automobiles may be updat-ed to another model provided all of the automobile isbrought up to that models specifications.

A-2.5.5.1. Engine(a) Air Cleaner: The air cleaner may be removed, modi-

fied or replaced with another type. Any modificationmay not conflict with other rules.

(b) Modified Ignition: Any modification is permitted,provided an original type distributor is used.

(c) Modified Carburetors: Any automobile originallycarbureted may have any carburetor, provided thethrottle bore and venturi dimensions are not changedfrom original specifications. Jet sizes may be changed.911 models with mechanical fuel injection or Solexcarburetors may change to replacement carburetorsthat have throttle bores no larger than 40mm.914/912E models may be converted to carburetorswith throttle bores no larger than 40mm.

A worker on grid or in the safety area will perform a cur-sory inspection (helmet, clothing, seat belts, loose objects,etc.) of all automobiles for compliance before competi-tion begins.

A-6. AUTOCROSS RUNSAutomobiles will run in class run groups. Men’s andLadies classes of equivalent automobiles will run concur-rently.

A-6.1. SchedulesClasses will run during assigned times only. The runtimes usually proceed from the lowest numericalShowroom Stock class (first) up through the Productionclasses, then the Improved classes and finishing up withthe Modified classes (last).

A-6.2. Timed RunsEach competitor will receive at least three separate officialtimed runs. An automobile must be re-staged between runsand a minimum of five (5) minutes must separate each ofthe automobiles runs. Final responsibility to comply with

Auto

cros

26

this rule is the driver's.

A-6.3. Re-RunsRe-run(s) will be given to any driver who does not receivethree official timed runs. Re-runs for timed runs must bemade as soon as practical, but not later than the first partof the run time for the following group. Re-runs must beseparated by at least five (5) minutes.

A-6.4. PenaltiesAll pylon penalties for each run or re-run will be record-ed. If the driver was not at fault in hitting the pylons, e.g.,swerving to avoid a collision with something/someoneon the course, then those pylons will not count. The finalpylon penalty assigned to a run or rerun will be the pylonpenalty recorded during that run. If the driver observesa pylon(s) moved or upset by someone else, the drivershould stop immediately, indicate the problem to acourse worker, who will verify the problem and then pro-ceed at a reduced speed to the grid for a rerun withoutpenalty. The automobile should return to grid as speci-fied in the autocross supplemental instructions and/or asspecified in the driver’s meeting. If the course workerverifies there is no problem, then the automobile shouldcontinue on the course knowing that the time for this runwill be counted.

A-7. COMPETITOR’S RULESCompliance with the following rules is mandatory.

(a) Conduct/Driving. See the general rules under G-5.“Causes for Disqualification” and G-9.5.3. “AutomaticDisqualifications” under “Protests”. “Unsafe” drivingis as determined by the event chairman.

(b) Driver’s License and Age. Every driver must be atleast 16 years of age and hold a valid driver’s license(see G-2.2. and G-2.4. “Registration Requirements”).

(c) Auto Safety (Tech) Inspection. All automobiles mustsuccessfully pass the safety inspection before runningthe event as specified in G-7.

(d) Final Safety Inspection. Drivers and automobilesmust meet the requirements of A-5. “Driver Safety”before beginning competition.

(e) Schedules. Only times during the assigned class runtime will be counted (see G-5.4. “Schedules”).

(f) One Automobile Rule. An entrant may drive only oneautomobile in the autocross and that must be the oneregistered for the event by that entrant (see G-2.6.3.“Autocross Automobiles” and G-2.6.1. “Non-StreetLegal Automobiles”). Also, see G-2.3. “Entrants PerAutomobile”.

(g) Passengers. Only the driver will be allowed in a com-peting automobile during its officially timed run.However, autocross instructors are allowed and avail-able at the driver's request. Runs with an instructorwill count towards the driver's total number of runs,but their time will not count on the event score.Instructor must not be entered in the event or havecompleted all runs prior to instructing. All instruc-tors will be designated by the event chair. This changeis designed to reduce the number of “DNFs”

(h) Pre-runs. Pre-running the course, either as a driveror passenger, will result in disqualification from theevent.

(i) Walking the course is permitted when approved bythe organizers at specified times. Wheeled con-veyances are prohibited except to accommodatephysically impaired competitors.

(j) Drivers are allowed to utilize video or data-acquisi-tion equipment during or after their runs at theautocross. Sharing of this information to or with oth-ers is allowed.

(k) Leaving/Deviations From the Course. For a run tocount for awards, the driver must stay in the driver’sseat and the automobile must remain on the courseafter passing the “Entrance” and until passing the“Exit”. If all four wheels leave the course, the auto-mobile will have left the course and will be a DNF(Did Not Finish) unless the automobile reenters thecourse at or before the point of exit at the time ofexit. Failure to comply, whether voluntarily or formechanical reasons, will result in a DNF. No points(or awards) will be given for a DNF run. A rerun willnot be granted for a DNF.

(l) Stopping. Failure to make a complete stop in theproper area (where marked), if required, after a timedrun will result in a DNF.

(m) Impound. Immediately after the automobile’s lasttimed run, the automobile must be taken to theimpound area and logged in. The contestant must

27


fully open the engine compartment and the trunkcompartment (if there is one) after parking the auto-mobile. Protest Committee may designate where aprotested car is to be placed until dismissed.The auto-mobile may not be removed from impound until theend of the protest period, except that any automobilethat is protested, during that period must remain untildismissed by the Protest Committee (See A-8.2.5.).Compartment(s) may not be closed until the end ofthe protest period, except in the event of rain. Nothingattached to the automobile may be removed from theautomobile during the impound period, and nothingmay be removed from the area except keys, helmets,and personal apparel and paraphernalia. After enteringimpound, all drivers in a class may “sign-off” indicatingthat they have no intentions of filing a protest. Thismay occur before, during or after posting of the officialscores. If this happens, then the class may be releasedfrom impound prior to the end of the protest period.Contestants should remove automobiles as soon asallowed after the official impound period and ascertainthat logging personnel are aware that the automobile isbeing removed. Failure to execute this impound proce-dure will result in automatic disqualification of theautomobile and (See G-9.5.3.) its drivers.

(n) Automobile Numbers. Assigned automobile num-bers must be in place before running the course.

(o) Flags. Competitors must know the flag signals priorto entering the course. Failure to obey flag signalscould result in dangerous situations and/or disquali-fication. (If you do not know the meaning of theflags, read A-4. or ask a worker.)

(p) Mufflers. (See A-5.1. (z) “Mufflers”)

(q) Mechanical Changes. All changes to the automobileduring competition must be made while on grid. Anymechanical changes should not interfere with therunning of the event or your timed runs. Changesother than altering tire air pressure or adjusting com-ponents, such as sway bars or shocks, may require are-tech while on grid. Any changed components mustbe brought with the automobile to impound.

A-8. TIMING AND SCORING

A-8.1. TimingA-8.1.1. Equipment. The timing devices will be automat-ically started and stopped by the competing automobiles.The timing devices will display times with a resolution of

at least 0.001 (1/1000) second. A backup timing deviceshall be in position, tested and available for immediate usein the event of failure of the primary timing device.

A-8.1.2. Timing Problems. In the event a timer problemoccurs, the competing automobile may be flagged off thecourse at the discretion of the events operational crew.The automobile should proceed at a reduced speed to thegrid for a rerun without penalty. The competing automo-bile should return to grid as specified in the autocrosssupplemental instructions and/or as specified in the dri-ver’s meeting.

A-8.1.3. Timing Slips. Each competitor is to receive atime slip, including time of run, penalties and/or DNFnotification as applicable, at the end of each run and priorto any subsequent runs. These timing slips are not con-sidered official. An electronic timing display may be usedas a replacement for timing slips. Scores (run times pluspenalties) are to be posted along with, when applicable,number and location of pylons hit, and the reportingworker station for off-course DNF, as soon as possibleafter each timed run (see A-8.2.5. “Posting”). Also, see G-9.5. “Protests”.

A-8.2. ScoringA-8.2.1. Official Time. The official time for a run will bethe time measured by the automatic timer plus any penal-ties incurred. If the official time is audited, due to proce-dure or protest, then the official time, as originally record-ed, may be changed.

A-8.2.2. Event Score. A competitor’s score for the eventwill be the competitor’s lowest official time from a mini-mum of three separate timed runs. Awards will be basedon event scores.

A-8.2.3. Pylon Penalties. If a competitor knocks over apylon or moves it completely outside its outline, a penaltywill be incurred. All pylons will have the same penalty. Thepenalty will be two seconds for each pylon so moved. Thisincludes all pylons designating the start and finish gatesand their respective areas. Only “upright” pylons are count-ed for any penalties. Pylons laid on their sides are for infor-mation purposes only and will not count for penalties ifmoved. (See A-6.4. “Penalties”)

A-8.2.4. Tied Scores Ties will not be broken. Equalawards will be given.

A-8.2.5. Posting of Final Scores. Scores for each class willbe posted in the impound area after the completion of

Auto

cros

each class running. Name, number and class will be usedto identify competitors. The protest period cannot beginuntil class scores are posted and will run for 30 minutesfrom that time. Also see G-9.5. “Protests”, A-7. (m)“Impound” and A-8.2.1. “Official Time”.

A-9. SUGGESTED NON-PARADE ZONE/REGION CLASSINGFor those regions that use these rules but want a limitednumber of classes to align better with their participationlevels, the classing charts below will allow that option.These classifications were designed with approximatelyless than 40 competitors (small region), 40-80 competitors(medium region) and over 80 competitors (large region).These numbers apply to Porsche drivers entranted in anevent and are only suggested guidelines.

The Parade Rally will be a TSD (time-speed-distance) rally asopposed to the gimmick or fun type rally. The Rallymasterwill attempt to design the rally so that it will provide chal-lenge for serious rallyists, yet will contain safeguards, such asclosed loops and off-course markers, to avoid losing recre-ational rallyists on long off-course excursions.

R-1. REFERENCED RULESThe rules referenced below apply to the rally:

(a) Eligibility. (See G-2.1 through G-2.6.)

(b) Protests. (See G-9)

(c) Awards. (See G-11.1 and G-11.4)

(d) Entrants must complete on-site Parade check-inbefore the event or they will not be allowed to com-pete. Entrants classification or classification changesmust occur no later than the day before the eventstarts. (See G-2.4.1.)

R-2. CLASSIFICATIONDriver/navigator teams must classify themselves and theautomobile correctly (See G-5.2 “Misclassification”).There will be five classes:

R01 Equipped - Unlimited rally equipment

R02 Navigational - The equipment permitted for theUnequipped Navigational class (R03) is allowed plusmaps, prepared tables, mechanical slide rules, non-programmable, single memory calculators and naviga-tional/GPS systems.

R03 Unequipped Navigational - The equipment permittedfor the Unequipped Plus class (R04) is allowed plus anynavigational/GPS system.

R04 Unequipped Plus - The equipment permitted for the

Unequipped class (R05) is allowed plus factory built-incomputers that can read out average speed.Navigational/GPS systems are not allowed in this class.

R05 Unequipped - The only rally aids permitted within therally automobile will be simple time pieces includingstop watches, pens/pencils, paper, clipboard or anydevice for holding the route instructions, and the orig-inal equipment speedometer/odometer, trip odometerin its original location in the automobile. (Preparedtables of any kind are not allowed in the unequippedclass.) Navigational/GPS systems are not allowed inthis class.

Contestants that have a navigational/GPS system of any typein their automobile must be classified in R01, R02 or R03.There are no provisions for automobiles with disabled navi-gational/GPS systems. Contestants use of two-way radios orcellular telephones during the rally is forbidden except inemergencies. Contestants found in violation of this rule willbe disqualified.

R-3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF RALLYThe rally will be at least 3.5 hours and not exceed 4.5 hoursin duration from the initiation point of the first routeinstruction (whether numbered or not) to the completionpoint of the last route instruction (whether numbered ornot) that directs contestants to the place where score cardsare turned in and protests are received, assuming perfecttime. Unless emergency or extremely unusual conditionsor situations require, only paved roads will be used for therally. Rallyists will be notified before the start of the rally ifany such condition exists. There will be at least five (5) tim-ing controls (checkpoints) on the rally. Other pertinentinformation will be given in the rally general instructions.

R-3.1. DURATION OF RALLYThere will be a mandatory rest stop at the approximatemid-point. The computation of the duration of the rallywill account for all segments of the rally, starting at theinitiation point of the first route instruction (whethernumbered or not) and ending at the completion point of

Time, Speed and Distance (TSD) Rally

Rally


32

the last route instruction (whether numbered or not) thatdirects contestants to the place where score cards areturned in and protests are received. The computation willinclude:(a) The tire warm-up and odometer check runs (if

not included in official leg time)

(b) The accumulated official time for all legs

(c) The accumulated allowance for all transit zones

(d) At least three (3) minutes per open control

(e) An allowance of two (2) minutes per mile (1.6 kilo-meters per minute) of on-course travel for all segmentsnot otherwise accounted for, including the distancebetween each timing line and the initiation point of thenext on-course route instruction and the distance fromthe final timing line to the completion point of the lastinstruction.

If the duration of the rally exceeds 4.5 hours, based on theabove criteria, legs may be removed from scoring at thediscretion of the Protest Committee.

R-4. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSThe rally general instructions (the “generals”) will bemade available to all entrants at least two months beforethe Parade.

R-4.1. ContentsThe “generals” will contain all the rules and regulationsgoverning the rally and all information essential to thecontestants’ complete understanding of the event.

(a) Glossary of Local Terms - If any terms not given inthe official PCR Rally Glossary are to be used, the“generals” will include a glossary that lists and definesany such terms, abbreviation, or symbols. The offi-cial PCR Rally Glossary is in Appendix VII.

(b) Route Instructions - All route instruction types to beused will be specified and fully described (written,graphic, symbolic, and photographic). A generalexample of each different route instruction type willbe given in the generals. An example of the formatand layout of the route instructions will be given.

(1) Usage - If any course-following instructionsother than numbered instructions are used,complete information will be given regarding theintroduction, usage, and cancellation of suchinstructions.

(2) Priorities - If more than one general course-fol-lowing method will be used, the priorities of the

methods will be stated so that the proper coursecan be understood when instructions conflict ordirect similar action. i.e., the priorities or “main-road” or route- following rules will be stated, andthe priorities of any other type of unnumberedinstructions will be given.

(3) Overlap - The overlap of all types of routeinstructions will be given.

(4) Redundancy - Any redundancy of instructionswill be specified. That is, it will be clear whetheror not a numbered route instruction can be exe-cuted when it directs the same action as a “main-road” or route- following rule or other unnum-bered route instruction.

(c) Quoted Signs - The generals will specify the locationof signs relative to the rally route, i.e., anywhere, left,right, etc. Also, how the signs should be read will bespecified, i.e., left-to- right, top-to-bottom, no lettersskipped, inclusion of symbols, etc.

(d) Landmarks - A landmark is a point, object or feature,other than a sign, along the rally route. Landmarkswill be indicated in the instructions by capital letterswithout quotation marks. Landmarks will be identi-fied by a visible sign or be identified in the rally glos-sary. Landmarks and their identifying signs may belocated anywhere. Signs must be readable from thedirection of approach of the rally route. Unless thecontestant is directed to turn toward or away from alandmark, the landmark must be visible from thedirection of approach of the rally route.

(e) Control Station Procedures, The procedures thatcontestants are to follow will be explained for everytype of control to be used.

(1) Timing and Scoring - The procedures in effect forthe rally will be explained, including a descrip-tion of the point where time will be recorded.

(2) Penalties - A detailed schedule of penalties willbe provided (i.e., penalties and for what they willbe assessed.) (See R-11.2.4.)

(f) Maximum Distance - The maximum distancebetween “action points” shall be given.

(g) Mileage Measurement - The equipment used and theconditions existing during the measurement of theofficial mileages will be specified in the “generals.”

33


(h) Distribution of Route Instructions - The uniform timewhen route instructions will be given out will be spec-ified if other than the minimum time. (See R-6.1.)

(i) Special Regulations - Any other needed regulations.

R-4.2. Questions and AnswersQuestions concerning the general instructions should bewritten and mailed (either through the regular postal serviceor by email) to the Rallymaster. The Rallymaster willrespond to questions if they are received at least a week priorto the start of the Parade. Questions must be worded so thatan answer of “yes”, “no” or “does not apply” could be used.Responses will be solely for the purpose of clarification.Written questions and responses will be posted in or near thecheck-in or hospitality area for all rallyists to see, and noth-ing will be added or changed to posted responses.

R-4.3. Supplementary GeneralsShould a question concerning the general instructionsreveal an overlooked point or problem, supplementarygeneral instruction(s) will be issued to all entrants atcheck-in.

R-5. TIME

R-5.1. Official TimeThe official rally time will be either that broadcast byStation WWV, operated by the National Institute ofStandards & Technology, or that broadcast by StationCHU, operated by the Dominion Observatory in Canadaand an atomic clock. There will be a master watch and aradio time signal (audio and/or digital) available to allcontestants for reference at the start of the rally.

R-5.2. Start TimeRally start times will be assigned in random order by check-in personnel within requested 30-minute blocks of time.

R-6. ROUTE INSTRUCTIONS

R-6.1. Equal Time for StudyRoute instructions will be available for issue to each teamat least 20 minutes before the team’s start time.Instructions will be issued in an orderly manner designedto permit each team the same amount of time to study theinstructions before beginning the rally. (See R-4.1. (h))

R-6.2. Identical InstructionsIdentical instructions will be issued to all participants,including non-competitive participants. “Touring”

instructions covering the rally route for those not com-peting for awards are forbidden.

R-6.3. Content of InstructionsRoute instructions will identify rally action points (turns,speed changes, etc.) and provide other information, ifneeded, for execution of the various phases of the event.(See R-4.1. (b) for information regarding other types ofroute (course-following) instructions)

R-6.3.1. Sheet Numbering. The sheet number and totalnumber of sheets will appear on each sheet of the routeinstructions (e.g., “1 of 5”, “2 of 5”, etc.).

R-6.3.2. Quoted Signs. Where route instructions quotesigns in less than their entirety, such quotes will include aprominent portion of the signs.

R-6.3.3. Action Point Identification. Route instructionswill not identify action points (turns, speed changes, etc.) bynames or numbers on mail boxes, by numbers on utilitypoles, or by other similar landmarks (frequently recurring,difficult to read) unless such instructions are confirmed bymileage reference or other substantiating information.Likewise, no turns will be based solely on mileage reference.

R-6.3.4. Distance/Speeds. All distances and speeds willbe specifically in both miles/miles per hour and kilome-ters/kilometers per hour.

R-7. ODOMETER CALIBRATION RUNThe first part of the rally will be an official odometer cal-ibration run to allow each team to compare its odometerreading with the official mileage. The run will be at leastten (10) miles (16 kilometers) long, and the routeinstructions will provide adequate, official, intermediatemileage reference points. Adequate time (stipulated inthe route instructions) will be allowed at the end of therun for contestants to make all necessary odometer cali-bration calculations.

R-8. CONTROLSThe two types of timing controls (checkpoints) will be theopen control and the Do It Yourself Checkpoint (DIYC).The exact location of these may or may not be known tocontestants before they reach it. A timing control marksthe end of one leg of the rally and the beginning of thenext, if any. There will be at least five (5) timing controls(checkpoints) and no more than one half of them may beof the DIYC type. (See appendix VII for further informa-tion). No more than one DIYC timing control shall occurin succession without an intervening manned control.

Rally


34

R-8.1. Open Controls (Manned Checkpoints)

R-8.1.1. Location of Open Controls. Open controls willbe located on the right side of the road relative to the rallyroute. Controls will be identified and the timing line willbe visible. Open controls will be away from congested orhigh-traffic areas and not in or immediately after alengthy no-passing zone nor in an area where the speedlimit is less than the current rally average speed.

R-8.1.2. Leg Information. Each open control station willprovide to contestants: their arrival time (time slip) plusthe official mileage and the official elapsed time for the legjust completed. Also, either at the end of each leg or at theend of the entire rally, each team will be provided a logshowing the official distance and time for each speedchange. Each team will also receive a critique explainingthe correct course and any “traps” used by theRallymaster. If a log and critique are provided at eachcontrol station, the information will be for the leg justcompleted, plus any DIYC’s since the last manned opencontrol. If the log and critique are provided at the end ofthe entire rally, all legs will be included.

R-8.1.3. Control Departure. Each team’s departure timewill be assigned by the control station personnel. Thedeparture time will be at least three minutes after thearrival time. Extra time will not be granted for a contes-tant’s convenience. Control station personnel will identi-fy in writing the next route instruction to be executed andthe departure speed to be used.

R-8.1.4. Closing of Controls. Manned controls will remainopen at least 30 minutes after the perfect arrival time of thelast rally automobile leaving the previous control (or leav-ing the start - in the case of the first control) unless all auto-mobiles are known to have cleared the control.

R-8.2. Unmanned Timing Controls (DIYC).R-8.2.1. Location of DIYC Controls. DIYC controls willbe located on the right side of the road relative to the rallyroute. Controls will be identified either in the RouteInstructions by an instruction indicating “DIYC” or by aclearly marked and easily visible sign on the right side ofthe rally route indicating “PCA Rally DIYC”. DIYC’s willbe away from congested or high-traffic areas and not in orimmediately after a lengthy no-passing zone. There will besufficient safe stopping area for at least eight (8) automo-biles after the DIYC. DIYC instructions contained withinthe Route Instructions will refer to accurately defined signsor landmarks as a reference point for the DIYC.

R-8.2.2. Procedures for DIYC Controls. At a DIYC, writethe time you figure you should arrive (in hours, minutesand seconds), (HH:MM:SS) on the DIYC slip provided inthe appropriate TIME IN location. Add exactly 3:00 min-utes to this arrival time and write that time in on theTIME OUT location on your DIYC slip. This is yourdeparture time from this DIYC, beginning the next leg.Continue the rally with the following instruction.Rallyists should pull ahead several automobile lengthsbeyond the DIYC point, to allow room for other rallyistswhile completing their paper work. Rallyists must writetheir arrival on the control card before entering the nextmanned control, or it will be scored as having missed theDIYC. DIYC times may not be changed after entering thenext manned control. All times must be entered in hours,minutes and seconds.

R-8.2.3. DIYC Control Departure. Each team shouldleave the DIYC at the time they entered on their controlcard (exactly 3:00 minutes after their arrival time).Departure speed is the indicated CAST for the DIYCinstruction or previous CAST if none is given.

R-8.2.4. DIYC Leg Information. The next (after theDIYC) timing control station must be a manned opencontrol. This control will provide to rallyists a log show-ing the official distance and time for each speed change onthe DIYC leg.

R-8.2.5. DIYC Example. Route Instruction reads 'DIYC at“Stop Ahead”'. Were you to arrive at this sign at 8:46:45(8:46AM and 45 seconds), you would write your time in(8:46:45) in the first available TIME IN space on yourcontrol cards and then write your time out (8:49:45 =8:46:45 + 3:00 minutes) in your first available TIME OUTspace on your control card. Pull up a bit and then leavethe DIYC point at exactly that out time.

Example Control Card:

LEG 1 LEG 2 LEG 3TIME IN 8:35:54 8:46:45TIME OUT 8:04:00 8:40:00 8:49:45ELAPSED 0:31:54 0:06:45

R-8.3. Manned Route Controls A manned route control may be either on-course or off-course. Automobiles arriving at such a control mayreceive special instructions designed to bring on-courseand off-course automobiles together again. If such con-trols will be used, the “generals” will include a detaileddescription of the procedure to be used.

R-11.2. ScoringR-11.2.1 Leg Score. The basic penalty (score) for arrivaleither early or late at a control will be one point per sec-ond, up to a maximum of 300 points (5 minutes), exclud-ing any other penalties. Being early at one timing controlcannot be offset by being late at another timing control.Each leg of the rally is started with a zero error.

R-11.2.2. Maximum Duration for Intended Traps. Themaximum duration for traps on closed loops shall be lessthan 5 minutes.

R-11.2.3. Missed Control Score and Penalty. A penaltyof 1 point for each second early or late at each controlshall be imposed up to a 300 point maximum (5 minutes)leg penalty or 300 points (5 minutes) for each leg involvedin missing a control.

R-11.2.4. Other Penalties. Penalties for other reasonsmay be imposed at the discretion of the Rallymaster, sub-ject to the approval of the PCR Committee Chairman orhis designated representative. A detailed schedule of allpenalties will be included in the general instructions.Possible penalties, for example, include points for enter-ing an off-course route control, creeping in sight of a con-trol, or entering a control from the wrong direction.

R-11.2.5. Total Score. Each leg will be scored separately.Total score equals the sum of the leg scores plus any penal-ties. Errors, early and late, are cumulative. Error on oneleg may not be compensated during succeeding leg(s).

R-11.3. Tied ScoresTies will be broken by comparing the tied contestants’scores at each control. The team with the lower score at agiven control will “win” that leg, and the team winning themost legs will be awarded the better finishing position. Inthe event a tie still exists, scores of tied teams will be com-pared by control in inverse order, and the team having thelowest score at the first control at which the scores differwill be awarded the higher finishing position in the rally.Ties will only be broken when a trophy is involved.

R-11.4. Posting of ScoresRallyists will be notified on or before rally day of the timeand location where official scores will be posted.Individual scoring irregularities must be reported to therallymaster or authorized representative no later than onehour after the official scores are posted in order to resolvemathematical errors. Individual scoring errors are notprotestable.

1. Announcement. Details regarding Parade registra-tion shall be published in Panorama at least six toeight weeks prior to the earliest eligible registrationpostmark date. The registration period shall notbegin on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday.

2. Region Presidents and National Staff. RegionPresidents and members of the National Staff, as list-ed in the back of Panorama shall have registrationpreference if their individual applications are post-marked or correctly filed electronically on the firsteligible day.

3. Four Applications per Region Guaranteed. EachRegion shall be guaranteed acceptance of four (4)applications, provided they are postmarked or cor-rectly filed electronically on the first eligible day. Thisguarantee shall be over and above the preferredacceptances for Region Presidents and members ofNational Staff.

4. Region of Record. The Region of Record for Paraderegistration shall be the Region shown on the mem-ber's mailing label for the issue of Panorama contain-ing the Parade registration application. The identifi-cation of Region on the mailing label is via a two orthree letter code.

5. Oversubscription Calculations. If the maximumallowable registration is oversubscribed with applica-tions postmarked, or correctly files electronically, asspecified by the host Region(s), on the first eligibleday, they shall first be sorted by Region and the appli-

cations from Region Presidents and National Staffmembers shall be accepted. All Regions having fouror less applications shall be allowed to enter in full.The remaining applications postmarked or correctlyfiled electronically, as specified by the host Region(s),on the first eligible day shall then be counted and thepro-rata percentage of remaining available registra-tions shall be applied to each individual Region'sremaining applications, to be drawn by lot accordingto the following example:

Maximum allowable registrations (excluding workers) 400First day Applications received or electronically filed (total) 580First day Applications received or electronically filed Region Presidents 35First day Applications received or electronically filed National Staff 25First day Applications, 4 or less per Region 80Total first day applications received or electronically filed 580Less Region President, National Staff, and 4-or-less per Region 140Total remaining applications 440Maximum available registrations 400Less Region President, National Staff, and 4-or-less per Region 140Spaces remaining 260Spaces remaining, divided by remaining applications results in a "pro-rata" percentage allocation: 260/440 = 59%

APPENDIX X

Parade Over-Subscription Procedure

The Parade Registration Oversubscription ProcedureThe PCA National Board of Directors previously determined that the current Parade format should be retained withminimal change. This will, on occasion, require limiting registration due to food service, lodging accommodations,and/or maximum number of cars at the various events. The basic philosophy of Parade registration shall be "first come,first served". In the event of oversubscription, i.e., a greater number of applications for registration than there are open-ings available, the lottery system, or "luck of the draw", is determined to be the most equitable system to use. The ParadeCommittee shall determine the maximum number of Parade registrations that will be available for the Parade.

The following is a detailed description of the oversubscription procedure as adopted by the Executive Council onOctober 14, 1978, and as amended in June 2005:

Appe

86

In this example, 59% of the remaining applicationsfrom each Region shall be drawn by lot until thatRegion's allocation, or the minimum allocation offour (whichever is greater) has been filled.

6. National Pool. After registration is filled, all remain-ing applications postmarked, or correctly filed elec-tronically on the first eligible date (580 in the aboveexample) shall go into a National Pool, regardless ofRegion, and they shall then be drawn by lot andassigned a standby number. Each applicant on thisstandby list shall be notified of their position on thelist.

7. Standby List. As and when cancellations are receivedfrom those originally accepted, applications will beaccepted from the standby list of the National Pool,in numerical order. Applicants on the standby listshall be notified every 30 to 60 days of the status ofthe list.

8. Refunds. Applicants on the standby list shall be enti-tled to a full refund of their entry fee if their writtenwithdrawal request is received by the ParadeRegistrar at least 30 days prior to the first official dayof the Parade. Applicants who remain on the standbylist during the last 30 days prior to the first officialday of the Parade shall be entitled to a refund only ifthe applicant has not been offered the opportunity toregister during this final 30-day period. In otherwords, if an applicant is on the standby list in the 30-day period preceding the Parade and is not allowed toregister because of a lack of openings by cancellation,then that applicant will receive a full refund.

9. Exchange or Transfer. There will be no exchange ortransfer of registrations permitted.

Roll Bars / Roll Cages

ROLL BAR/CAGE SPECIFICATIONS (2014 Club Race Rules)

Roll Cages and Bars: The roll cage/roll bar must besecurely mounted with the mounting plates at the bottomof the hoops mounted directly to the floor and/or longi-tudinal members of the unibody and make metal to metalcontact. Any padding, carpet, upholstery, etc. must beremoved to satisfy this requirement. The mounting areaof bolt-in roll cage/roll bar must be backed by a plate of asize equal to that of the upper mounting plate with a min-imum thickness of 3/16”. Bolts must be grade 5 or higher.The roll cage/ roll bar must be full cockpit width, exceptas originally supplied by the factory for open racecars, andhave two fore/aft tubing braces. The braces must bemounted as near to the top of the main hoop as possibleat an included angle of at least 30 degrees. Also, the

assembly must contain a diagonal (left to right side) tub-ing brace from one upper side of the main hoop to a flooror unibody lower frame mounting point of a bar memberon the other side to obtain the strength benefits of trian-gulation. Roll cage/roll bar tubing in the Stock/PreparedClasses must remain within the passenger compartment.The removal of the door glass to facilitate side impactprotection is allowed. Carbon fiber roll cages or bars arenot allowed.

Roll Cages: The roll cage must have a full width mainhoop and a full-width front hoop or two side halo hoopsaround the door opening connected by tubing across thetop of the entire windshield. The tops of the hoops must

Roll bars are required in open vehicles driving in Improved and Modified classes, Cages are optional. For purposes ofthese rules, if you chop the top off of your automobile, it is considered a convertible. Automobiles with original factoryrollover protection, un-altered, will be considered as adequately meeting this requirement. Installed roll bars/cages (notoriginal factory rollover protection) must be equipped with adequate padding in all areas potentially exposed to the driv-er. Roll bars/cages, when installed, must meet the current PCA Driver's Education Minimum Standards as written below.For reference, the 2014 Club Racing Rules regarding specifications is also referenced below.

The PCA DE Minimum Standards contain the following:Cabriolet/Convertible Cars

Any make of car delivered with factory installed roll over protection meets the minimum standards for PCA DEevents. In these cars we recommend the soft-top be in the up position or the hard top installed. If the top is inthe down position, restraint system must be used. An SFI and/or FIA approved arm restraint system for use withOEM three-point belts.

If a car does not have factory installed roll over protection, a roll bar or roll cage must be installed, which meetsthe "broomstick" rule (the driver's helmeted head is below a bar placed on top of the roll bar and windshield).Design, installation and materials of roll bars or cages and their installation must meet PCA Club Racing speci-fications, contained in Roll Cage Specifications of the PCA Club Racing Rules (referenced below). All targa topsmust be installed unless there is addition roll over protection. All sunroofs must be in the closed position. Thewindshield alone is not considered to be factory roll over protection.

be as close to the roof as closely as possible in closed-topcars. In open-top cars, the top of the main hoop must beat least 2” above the driver's helmet, and the plane formedby the top of the main hoop and the top of the front hoopmust be above the driver's head in both closed and opentop cars. The front (or side halo) and main hoops must goto the floor pan and be connected with each other withtubing as close to the roof line as possible. The cage musthave at least one additional bar across the door openingbelow the window level on each side connecting the frontand main hoops for side impact protection. Additionalside impact protection (two bars or “NASCAR” style barsprotruding into the door) is strongly recommended.

Factory Roll Cages as delivered in factory race cars areallowed. Roll cages sold or installed by Porsche in streetcars are allowed in stock class cars if certified to meet FIAregulations. If the car exceeds the stock class rules, then acage meeting the specifications above must be installed.

Roll Bars: All provisions under section “Roll Cage andBars” apply. Note that roll bars without terminal mount-ing plates braced on the frame are not acceptable. The topof the main hoop must be at least 2" above the driver'shelmet when the driver is seated in the normal drivingposition. Porsche Tequipment bars and factory roll bars inBoxsters are not sufficient to meet these rules. An inspec-tion hole 3/16" in diameter must be provided in a non-critical area for verification of tube thickness. Any portionof the assembly which may come in contact with the dri-ver's helmet must be covered with high density foam atleast 3/4" thick held securely in place with zip ties, electri-cal tape or duct tape. Foam must be equivalent to SFI 45.1or FIA 8857 standards for hardness.
