All entrants must present a valid state drivers license at registration.
No exceptions!

Seat belts and helmets are mandatory per the SCCA Solo Rulebook.
Loaner helmets are available in various sizes.

All cars must be muffled.

Passengers will not be permitted in any vehicle while it is on course,
except instructors designated by the club.

Drivers under the age of 18 must present a notarized minor release/waiver
form signed by your parent(s)/guardian(s) at registration, or bring a parent
along to sign the paperwork at the site in front of the registrar.  E-mail
Arthur Emerson (vreihen@yahoo.com) or call 845-943-6743 to have the form
mailed out to you in advance of the event.

Any person at or near the event site will be required to sign the
insurance waiver and obtain a wristband, whether or not they are
competing, serving as crew, or watching the event and only staying
for a minute.  Anyone who refuses to sign the insurance waiver will
be asked to leave the site immediately.


Fast Lane Check-In:  Tired of standing in line?  So are we!  If you choose
              to register and pay for an event online, we will give you a
              $5.00 discount to show our appreciation.  As an added benefit,
              you get to report directly to Tech Inspection without having
              to stand on the registration line!  Requests for refunds
              will need to be received 48 hours prior to the event, and
              no refunds will be given for no-show competitors.
              http://www.axwaresystems.com/axorm/calendar_main.php?selectclubid=19

Car Numbers:   We will be running our events with unique car numbers at
              every event.  That means that there will only be one car #777.
              Whatever car number you were assigned at your first event of
              the season will be reserved for you all year, and changing car
              numbers or classes mid-season may cause loss of accumulated
              season points.

              Car numbers 0-299 are reserved for annual SCCA members.
              Novices must use car numbers 700-999.  Anyone who competed
              in enough events last year to qualify for season points
              is guaranteed their same car number for the current season,
              as long as they register for the first event of the year.

Novice Class:  We will be running a season-long novice class and championship
              series, sponsored by [Bryan Jeisa's business name].  Scoring
              will be based on the PAX/RTP index.

Pro Class:     NYR will be offering a voluntary Pro class, scored on the
              PAX/RTP index.

Formula Junior: We currently do *not* offer a Formula Junior class, only
              because we do not have an adult volunteer to be the Youth
              Steward as required by the SCCA's rules.  If someone wants
              to step forward and serve as the Youth Steward, we will gladly
              start our Formula Junior program up again.


2009 Season Points:

    1) In order to create competition for season championships, we
       will NOT be awarding trophies for individual classes.  Instead,
       season points for 2009 will be tabulated via the PAX/RTP index
       between drivers in the following classing categories:

          Stock - SS, AS, BS, CS, DS, ES, FS, GS, HS
          Street Touring - ST, STS, STX, STU
          Street Prepared/Street Mod - ASP, BSP, CSP, DSP, ESP, FSP, SM, SSM
          Prepared/Modified - XP, BP, CP, DP, EP, FP, GP, AM, BM, CM, DM, EM, FM, F125, FSAE
          Ladies  - all classes
          Novice 1 - ST, STS, STX, STU
          Novice 2 - all other SCCA classes

       (If attendance warrants, Street Prepared/Street Mod and Prepared/Modified
       will be split into their own distinct categories.)

       As a side benefit, drivers will be able to change vehicle classes between
       events without messing up their season's points if they would like to,
       as long as they drive another vehicle in the same category.

    2) Only annual SCCA members will accumulate season points, except for
       novices who accumulate points without regard to membership status.

    3) One event will be dropped for season points.

    4) Must have competed in 1/2 of the season's event in a class
       to qualify for an end-of-season trophy.  (In 2009, this is
       3 of our 6 points events.)

    5) In the event of a tie, the last event will count as double points.

    6) Points awarded as follows: 1st = 9 points; 2nd = 6 points; 3rd = 4 points;
       4th = 3 points; 5th = 2 points; 6th+ = 1 point
