BSPRA reserves the right to alter
or amend the rules and regulations in the interest of
safety, cost control, and/or fair competition. It is
the responsibility of each competitor to read and
understand the contents of this rulebook. If there is
a disagreement or dispute regarding the meaning or
application of these rules, the decision of the Head
Technical Inspector shall prevail.
No pretense is made for having
designed a foolproof set of rules and regulations.
The spirit and intent of the rules is the
standard by which BSPRA racing events will be governed.
BSPRA officials are authorized to decide if an
equipment change or modification by a team is an
attempt to circumvent these rules.
BSPRA officials can and will disqualify a
racecar in violation of the spirit and intent of these
rules. If
this rule book does not specifically state that you
CAN alter, change, or otherwise modify something on
your car, you should consider it a violation of these
rules to do so. Illegal
components will be confiscated and become property of
BSPRA. No parties deemed to have been approved by BSPRA
by passing through prior technical inspections.
All participants, guest and
crewmembers fully understand that racing is inherently
dangerous and that they are exposed to risks of death
or serious bodily injury.
The participants, guests and crewmembers
voluntarily assume these risks.
Any questions about these rules,
and or procedures should be asked at the driver's
meeting. All
on-track or race procedure disputes, protests or
concerns must be directed to an official or board
member within15 minutes of the conclusion of the final
race of the night so as not to disrupt the flow of the
evening events. Said
protest will then be brought before the board at the
following BSPRA meeting.
