To All AWS Drivers,
All Wingless Sprint
drivers/owners have been supplied their SCCA log books at time of
day lighting of their cars and have been supplied their Sprintcar
Control Council of Australia Inc. Racing Rules, Regulations and
Specifications booklet dated September 2009. This rule book and the
log book should always be with the car at a race meeting. It is the
responsibility of all drivers and car owners to have read and
understand these rules & regulations as by signing their log books
at a race meeting, they are agreeing to abide with the rules &
regulations.
LOG BOOKS
The infringement
booklet inside the front cover of the log book must be signed, dated
and a current photo attached.
It has been decided that
at future club and series race meetings (SA Title and Australian
Title will have different times), beginning 2 ˝ hours prior to the
scheduled start of racing, a designated official for the meeting
will collect the log books duly filled out with track name, date,
car number, car owner’s name, car owners signature, drivers name and
drivers signature. The driver’s current NASR licence should be in
the pocket inside the front cover to be checked. At completion of
the race meeting, it is the responsibility of the driver to collect
the log book from the official. Refer to Page 16 Rule 5.9(ii). As
most officials are either drivers themselves or a member of a team,
these checks will conclude 1 hour before racing is due to begin
therefore officials will not have the time to be running around
looking for drivers or waiting for log books to be completed.
There must be a driver
or crew member available at each car during this period of time to
provide the signed log book and to also to present the drivers
safety equipment to the official or an assistant for checking.
GRID POSITIONS
The Club is purchasing a
whiteboard which will display grid starting positions for heats and
then final. Drivers or crew will need to check the whiteboard for
grid positions prior to the event.
The Club will continue
to consider ways of simplifying & speeding up all processes of pit &
race meeting organisation and will make further changes as
deemed necessary.
