Olisko jossain vielä sanottu että auton pitää olla samassa kunnossa maalissa kuin se oli lähdössä, ehkä ei?
Tärkeää ainakin/kai on että auto ei joudu "VEHICLE OUT-OF-SPEC" tilaan.
Erityisesti:
"Any “scale items” falling off the vehicle also constitute a vehicle becoming out of spec, and must be repaired immediately"
Pisteitä kertyy mukavasti: out-of-spec -> repair -> vehicle touch
VEHICLE TOUCH (+10 POINTS)
Vehicle touch penalty is given when the participant incurs the following:
● All vehicle touches whether intentional or unintentional, are given an automatic +10 points penalty
● Vehicle touches include but are not limited to: repairs, repositions, vehicle driving/falling into the
driver
.. o excluding “rollovers”, "winching", "assisted recoveries" (see associated rules),
● When the judge or driver calls a vehicle touch and reposition will occur following the reposition
process
ON-COURSE REPAIRS (+10 POINTS)
On-Course repair penalty is given if the driver chooses to repair their vehicle due to it being damaged or
becoming out of specification while on the course:
● Judge determines the vehicle has become out of spec or driver calls for on course repairs
● Repairs are done on the course where the Judge/Driver determined the vehicle needed repair
● The course timer will continue to run, and repairs must be made within the course time
● There are no restrictions on whom or how the repairs are made
● If repairs are made within the course time:
.. o The Judge will stop time and Judge/Marshal will determine if the vehicle is in spec
.. o With time stopped, the vehicle will be repositioned following the reposition process
.. o Time will start when the driver resumes driving or at the Judge’s discretion
● If repairs cannot be made within the course time, the driver is given a Did Not Finish penalty (see
associated rules)
OFF-COURSE REPAIRS (+10 POINTS AND 1 MINUTE)
Off Course Repair penalty is given if the driver chooses to repair their vehicle due to it being damaged or
becoming out of specification, with time stopped and off the course:
● Repairs are to be completed off the course
● The course timer will be stopped and 1 minute penalty will be subtracted from the time remaining to
run the course
● Repairs should be completed within 30 minutes (or as determined by the event organizer at the
driver’s meeting)
● If repairs are made within the allotted repair time:
.. o The Judge/Marshal will determine if repairs are adequate
.. o A reposition will take place following the reposition process
.. o Time will start (with the 1-minute deduction as above) when the driver resumes driving or at
the Judge’s discretion.
● If repairs are unsuccessful within the allotted time the driver is given a Did Not Finish penalty (see
associated rules)
VEHICLE OUT-OF-SPEC (TIME OUT)
Vehicle out-of-spec (time out) may be called by the Judge if they have reason to believe a vehicle is out of
spec during a course run. At the time the Judge calls for Vehicle out of spec (time out):
● Course timer is stopped
● The driver must stop driving the vehicle – no additional inputs maybe given by the driver to the
vehicle via touch or radio control
● The Judge must mark the vehicle’s location and perform a tech inspection as specified in the “General
Vehicle Specifications” (same manner as all other tech inspections)
● If the vehicle has been deemed within spec, the driver will return the vehicle to the location marked
by the judge and the course timer will start once the driver resumes driving the vehicle
● If a vehicle falls out of spec due to breakage on course and the judge determines the driver has not
gained an advantage, then the driver may resume the attempt on the course at the last position
before stopping time without any time or points penalties
● If the vehicle is now out of spec and/or the Judge has determined that the vehicle has gained an
advantage, the driver must take a repair to correct the problem. The driver may choose to do an “On
Course Repair” or “Off Course repair” and the associated rules apply
● Any of the below are considered out of spec:
.. o Changes not meeting the rectangle parameters for its class and creating an advantage.
.. o Bodies, body panels coming off or out of place
.. o Any “scale items” falling off the vehicle also constitute a vehicle becoming out of spec, and
must be repaired immediately
.. o This includes electronics/batteries becoming visible
