Qualifier / Driver of Record Start & Finish Reminders:
Driver of Record / ADC6 Reminder: The DOR must either start or finish the Event, must be registered to the race vehicle, must have signed all required releases, and must complete at least one official race mile.

Failure to comply may result in disqualification unless a special exception is granted by AORC.
Qualifier / ADC8 Reminder: The qualifying driver must start the race, must be registered to the race vehicle, and must have signed all required releases. The qualifying driver will be issued a “Qualifying” wristband, which must be worn during both qualifying and the start of the race.

Ground Course Markings vs. GPS Markings:
Ground Markings:
- Course markings on the ground always take priority over what is provided on the GPS file, both in pits and on the entire race course.
- Please familiarize yourself with the Course Marking Guide.
GPS File Markings:
- Stop Checks: Stop Checks entering the pit are noted as “STOP CHECK, 25MPH SZ BEGINS” on the GPS file. All vehicles must come to a complete stop before entering the 25mph speedzones. Please use caution, as we will have course workers in that exact location.
- Speed Zones: Race speed in all pits is 25 mph.
- Resume Race Speed: When it is approved to resume race speed, it is noted as “25MPH SZ ENDS” on the GPS file. All vehicles may resume race speed when passing through the resume race speed signs.
- Virtual Check Points (VCPs): VCP’s might be placed along the race course to ensure there is no course cutting. Most VCP’s would be released as part of the official course files. Some would not be. There are not VCP to VCP races.
- How close do you need to come within a VCP? 50 feet
- What is the penalty for a missed VCP? TBD
Shared Car/Truck/UTV and Moto/Quad Course:
The Car/Truck/UTV & Moto/Quad courses share racecourse in three locations:
- Location 1 – The 25mph speed zone across the bridge OUTBOUND of Primm.
- Location 2 – The 25mph speed zone in and out of the Gonzo Pit.
- Location 3 – The 25mph speed zone across the bridge INBOUND to Primm.
