6. Car Eligibility: These events are open to all vehicles conforming to the current GCR for regional racing, SEDIV regional racing, and/or
7.
Atlanta Region regional racing rules. SEDIV regional racing rules for CF, IT7, ITO, SM, SPO, and SPU are available at
www.SEDIVRacing.org. Current rules for ITT & ITX, are available at http://www.atlantascca.com and at Registration. Carolina Cup Pro Series
(CCPS) eligible cars can be found at http://www.carolinacupproseries.com/services.html .
Driver Eligibility: Each driver must be a current SCCA member. Each driver must hold a current SCCA Competition License per the GCR
or a current license from an organization recognized by SCCA (see GCR 3.1.5 for the complete list). Prior approval from the Chief Steward is
required for Novice permit holders. Please contact Chief Steward Jack Marr at [email protected] or 940-380-1759 for Novice permit
approval. Note: There is no longer any restriction against Runoffs drivers competing in the same class at the HPD ARRC by GRM.
8. Drivers’ Meeting(s): We attempt to provide a written drivers meeting at registration. A live drivers meeting will be held in the Tech area on the
side that you are paddocked after each group’s first qualifying session of the weekend, attendance is mandatory. Pertinent information about the
operation of the weekend will be discussed and all will be given the opportunity to ask questions.
9. Points & Prize Money: HPD ARRC by GRM Championship medals and 2015 SARRC points will be awarded for the 20 lap HPD ARRC by
GRM races on Saturday. 2015 ECR points will be awarded per the ECR rules for Sunday’s race. CCPS points and prize money will be administered
by CCPS. Unless circumstances prove otherwise, class winners in Saturday’s HPD ARRC by GRM races will receive victory laps. Rules for the
“Luck of the Draw” Race are specified in Appendix A.
10. Car Numbers: Will be finalized 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.
11. Required Decals and Patches: Note: SARRC, ECR, and CCPS rules require that the appropriate series’ decals, stickers and/or patches be
properly displayed on all cars and driver suits in these events. In addition, Grassroots Motorsports decals and any Group or Event designation sticker
issued at Registration must be displayed on the car for all sessions.
12. Tech Inspection: Those with a current Tech & helmet stickers can bring their vehicle log book(s) only to pre-event Tech Inspection. Since this
is a highly visible SCCA event with Victory Circle photo ops, all patches and logos for competing sanctioning bodies must be covered or removed
from driving suits. Those without a valid annual tech must bring their vehicles to pre-event Tech. If you’ll need an annual tech this weekend please
let the Chief of Tech ([email protected]) know beforehand so we can plan accordingly.
13. 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.
14. First Qualifying Session: Due to the “seamless” nature of the qualifying sessions, cars will be gridded for their first qualifying session as they
arrive at Grid. The next group should stage in the area prior to 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 may 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.
15. Second Qualifying Session: For the second qualifying session (where appropriate), cars will be gridded based on their fastest time in the first
session. In all cases the BEST LAP from the two sessions will be used to set the grid for Saturday’s Championship races.
16. 120% Rule: A modified version of GCR Rule 6.4.2.E will be in effect for this event. Any driver/car combination not qualifying within a
maximum of 120% of the track record in their class must obtain permission from the Chief Steward in order to race. In the case of unforeseen
circumstances during qualifying, the Chief Steward can waive this rule for the entire event.
17. Oversubscription: The GCR limits the number of vehicles on track at Road Atlanta to 65. Our first choice is to alter the composition of the
groups to eliminate oversubscription, but if that cannot be accomplished then 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.

will be used and the classes will start approximately 25 seconds apart. If there is a split start, each sub-group will receive a separate waving green flag
to indicate a start. For all races, the pole car of each sub-group is responsible for maintaining the pace set by the Pace Car until the green is displayed.

track conditions and schedule allow. At the conclusion of all races the top four (4) finishers 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

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 physically and financially responsible for performing any required disassembly/reassembly. At least the top three

results are final.

We ask that you work with us to accommodate the majority of your wishes regarding paddock parking. To that end, paddock parking personnel
will assign and direct parking based on the size of your vehicles per instructions from the Paddock Chief using the following guidelines:
• Single car set-ups will get a spot twenty (20) feet wide that is long enough to accommodate the tow vehicle and trailer. All awnings and
support equipment must fit within those confines. This allows the maximum amount of parking in desired areas.
• Multiple car teams and/or participants providing services to the Atlanta Region will be located to maximize their efficiency.
• Since paddock spots with power are limited, the first priority is to provide electrical hook-ups to the maximum number of competitors.
• We request that open trailers not actively involved in support of a race vehicle be removed from the main paddock areas.
• Spectator and crew parking may be limited in the paddock areas. Ride sharing and race team cooperation are appreciated.
• If you have special requests, please let the Paddock Chief know prior to arriving so s/he can make appropriate arrangements.
• For safety reasons the county Fire Marshall requires that access lanes be kept open. Vehicles parked in no-parking areas will be towed.
Pavement and Wastes: Per Road Atlanta policy: Do not drive stakes into the pavement. Always use wood blocks or metal plates to
prevent pavement damage from jacks and jack stands. Do not spill oil, coolant, or fuel onto pavement or ground. Receptacles for waste oil and
for coolant are available in the paddock. Please make provision for removing from the premises any used tires, fuel, brake fluid, solvents,
hazardous waste products, and batteries. If you do have an accidental spill, please call for the Event Chairman.
37. Restricted Hours: Hall County ordinance prohibits running race engines between 8:00 PM and 7:45 AM. It also prohibits running race
engines during the hours from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon on Sundays. Road Atlanta’s gates will be locked at 8:00 PM on the last day of the event.
Please be off the premises by that time.
38. Other Restrictions: Per Road Atlanta policy: There is a strict 5 MPH speed limit on all personal ATVs, bicycles, MoPeds, or other
personal transportation devices at all times. Pets are allowed only in the paddock area and must be leashed at all times when not inside a vehicle.
No glass containers are allowed on the property. Skateboards, passenger-carrying wagons and skates are prohibited in the paddock, pit and grid
areas. The operation of any vehicle (including bicycles) by persons not holding a valid State Operator’s Permit is prohibited. Road Atlanta
policies that may not be known at the writing of these Supplementary Regulations will supersede any rules stated here.
39. Driver Information: If you have questions about anything, “Rumor Control” is located at the Contingency table in the Media Center at the
base of the Tower. The personnel there may not know all the answers, but they will be able to direct you to those that do.
40. Driver Advocate: Because of the high-profile nature of this event, a team of Driver Advocates will be available to assist drivers with proper
procedures regarding protests and appeals. The Driver Advocate(s) will be located in the vicinity of Impound.
41. Racing Fuel: Road Atlanta has automatic (credit card) pumps for both unleaded (98 octane) and leaded (110 & 112 octane) Sunoco racing

Appendix A:
Luck of the Draw Feature Race
The Luck of the Draw Feature Race is a special feature race for any closed wheel car in run groups 1, 2, 4 and 6 that have raced in prior days ARRC
or CCPS events or registered and run in the CCPS/ ECR qualifying session Sunday morning. The objective is to provide a fun race in a different
format with a monetary payout to competing drivers. This will be a Pro race where $75 of the entry fee will be allocated for driver payout. Everyone
gets one chance by entering and turning a wheel in the race. Top finishers get extra chance at the drawing in the following allocation:
The field will be limited to 50 cars, first come first serve.
1. Pursuit Race Format: The Luck of the Draw race will be run as a Pursuit Race. This basically means the following format.
a.
b.
Starting positions based on fastest times from prior day’s races.
Slowest cars start first with gaps determined by delta of fastest times multiplied by the number of laps in the race. (eg: 2 second
difference in lap time X 10 laps next car starts 20 seconds later and so on)
c. Start from grid one car at a time with calculated gaps.
d. Winner is first car to complete 10 laps and so on.
Entry Deadline: In order to set the grid, Luck of the Draw participants must register by 12:00 pm (Noon) Saturday November 2.
2.
3. Car Eligibility: This event is open to all closed wheeled vehicles in Run Groups 1, 2, 4, and 6 conforming to the current GCR for

available at www.SEDIVRacing.org. Current rules for ITT, and ITX are available at http://www.atlantascca.com and at Registration.
Carolina Cup Pro Series (CCPS) eligible cars can be found at http://www.carolinacupproseries.com/services.html . In order to be eligible
for payout the car also must have entered and ran in prior days events or registered and run in the ECR/CCPS qualifying session Sunday
morning.
Grid: This will be a Pursuit Race where cars will start in single file from the grid ordered inversely by fastest lap times from prior days
races. If the car has not run in earlier races, and registered to run in the ECR times lap times will be determined by the Sunday morning
ECR/CCPS qualifying session. Start positions will be assigned in reverse order to lap times. (i.e. the fastest cars will be at the back of the
grid and slowest at the front of the line).
5. Start: The starter will be at the track entrance from the grid. Cars should proceed slowly to the start line and start only when given the
green flag by the starter. Gaps between cars will be determined by the difference in fastest lap times multiplied by the number of laps in the
race (.5 second difference times 10 laps equal 5 second gap). Any car observed jumping the start may receive a black flag and a drive
through penalty. In the case where lap times are equal or less than .1 seconds, starting position will be determined by track records with the
faster class going behind the slower class. All groups will start from the grid on the Club side of the track.
