“What’s the registration process” you ask?

1. You can now register at any time, once registration is open (i.e. you no longer have to go through tech first). However, if you need a log book or transponder bracket, go to registration first.

2. Team captain or representative brings car, log book and AIV to tech. You get the royal treatment and are sent on your way with no undue BS.

3. Team members can get their gear checked at any time Don’t wait around until the last minute to go through tech/registration! We will close the tech line at 6:45pm. If you’re not in line at that time, your car gets teched Saturday when we can get to it If you get to the front of the Tech line and don’t have your tech form filed out and AIV ready, you get to go to the back of the line!

Supplemental Rules:

1. Read all of these extra rules and whatnot. If you can’t read, get a buddy to help. All team members should read this document.

2. Headlights will be required! 3. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND CHUMPCAR’S 2013 RULES!

Yes, there are changes this year. “I didn’t understand” or “I guess I was still looking at the 2010 rules” won’t save your bacon.

4. Check this space later to see if HPR is hosting a test and tune on Friday. 5. Do not wait until the last minute to get through Tech. Plan to arrive early. The later you

wait, the longer the line gets, and we will shut tech down at 7pm! 6. If you miss Tech, Registration or Gear Check on Friday, you will have to wait until the

race is underway on Saturday. Staff will have their hands full of all kinds of stuff on Saturday morning and will get to you as soon as possible without compromising the event!

7. All fueling and driver changes will be completed in the hot pit lane area. If you catch something on fire, we want everyone to see it!

8. Prepare to show your wrist band to the official at Pit Out before entering the track. If you don’t have a wrist band, car tech sticker or gear check sticker, you will not be allowed on track.

9. Please respect the fact that people put a lot of time, money and love into their cars, and avoid contact. Any hard, intentional or repeat contact between cars will earn all involved a black flag. Minor, incidental contact is not generally considered an offense unless it’s repetitive. MAINTAIN RACING ROOM AT ALL TIMES. If you don’t know what racing room is, ask. Intentional contact or reckless driving is your ticket out of the series.

10. ALL cars entering Pit Road will stop at Pit In and get a timer. All cars leaving Pit Road will stop at Pit Out. There are no exceptions.

11. Violating the fueling rules will result in your car being held at Pit Out. Make sure you read the rules!

12. All cars, used or junk parts and anything else you brought with you that the rest of the free world would consider as junk must be taken home with you.

13. Read the 2013 rules. Can't state that one enough.... 14. If you did not provide us with a transponder number during online registration, we

ordered you one. You pay for it whether you end up needing it or not. 15. Late fees are no longer optional nor forgivable. Sorry. Pay on time and you cut the cost

of your racing. 16. Impound closes 15 minutes after the last car exits the track. Once impound closes the

results of the race are final and no protests will be heard. Period. 17. If you rent a transponder from us, bring it back CLEAN and UNDAMAGED or you will

be charged.
