There will be no route books or stage notes for this event. A Fairgrounds layout map will be provided in a Competitor Bulletin to follow. This map will show the positions for all controls and clearly describe the routes to and from the Super Special Stage.

12.2 Control Operation
The event will use basic rally timing procedures. For each running of the stage, teams will be issued a new timecard with the check-in time for the Time Control (TC). These timecards must be picked up by either the driver or co-driver in the Drivers Lounge adjacent to the Official Notice Board. Timecards will be available at least 10 minutes prior to the first assigned check-in time for each stage. Only one vehicle will check in on a given minute. The Start Control (SC) will assign the start time for the stage. The SC will start two cars (one in each lane) or four motorcycles (two in each lane) on the assigned minute.

After crossing the flying finish line, competitors will stop at a holding location inside the stage (identified by a “STOP 1” sign). They will be held at this location until it is safe for them to leave the holding location. When directed to do so, competitors are to immediately leave the Stage and proceed to the Finish Control (identified by a “STOP 2” sign) to receive their finish time.

12.3 Stage Lane Choice
Choice of lanes on the Super Special Stage will be by means of a coin flip. The driver winning the toss gets to pick his or her lane. The diver with the earlier assigned check-in time at the TC will call the toss.

12.4 Stage Starting Interval
No competitors will be started until both competitors from the previous run have either finished or been cleared from the stage.

12.5 Starting Order and Pairings
On the Saturday stages the top seeded competitors with the highest speed factors will run first in the running order on each stage. On Sunday, the order will be reversed and the teams with the highest overall positions in the event will run last on the stages. The organizers will determine the two-car pairings. Pairings and running orders will be adjusted stage to stage to create interesting and exciting pairings on each stage. In most cases these pairings will be based on current standings in the event. Any changes to weather, course condition, and other factors will be considered Force Majeure.

12.6 Timing
Timing at finish controls will be in minutes, seconds and tenths of a second.

12.7 Control Closing Time

For the first early start, the penalty is 2 seconds per second. For the second early start, the penalty is 3 seconds per second. For all subsequent early starts, the penalty is 4 seconds per second.

• Shorting the Course
Should a competitor short the course, they will be given a penalty based on the time saved by the shorting maneuver. The determination of this penalty will be at the sole discretion of the Stage Commander. The Stage Commander may also assign additional penalty if the maneuver is unsafe or unsportsmanlike.

• Maximum Stage Penalty
To be scored for a given stage a competitor must cross the starting line under his/her own power. The maximum stage penalty (MSP) will be the fastest time on that stage (for that event, either Rally or RallyMoto) plus 2 minutes. Any competitor failing to complete a stage, for any reason will be given the MSP for that stage. Any competitor taking longer than the MSP will be given the MSP for that stage.
