Qualifying Driver / UDC6 Reminder:

The driver qualifying the race vehicle must start the race, must be registered to the race vehicle and must have signed all of the releases required by the Unlimited Off-Road Racing. The qualifying driver will be given an additional “Qualifying” wristband at onsite registration that must be worn during both qualifying and the start of your race. Any team that fails to have their banded qualifying driver at the start line will forfeit their start position and be moved to the rear of their class.

Co-Drivers:

A Co-Driver is required for both qualifying and race day.

Mechanical Issues During Run:

If you have a mechanical issue during your qualifying run, pull as far off the course as possible and notify race ops via the BITD Ops ASAP. DO NOT pull back on to the course or limp around to the finish as you may impede a qualifier behind you.

Additional Runs:

Drivers may be given an additional run if their qualifying run is affected by the driver ahead of them. If you have been held up on your lap, return to the Start line and notify race ops staff immediately. Granting a repeat run is at the discretion of the Race Director. Additional runs will not be given for mechanical failures.

Course Cutting:

You must remain on the marked course at all times. Departure from the qualifying course may result in penalty and forfeiture of your qualifying position.
