minutes.2021 Sno*Drift Summer Rally

Stage start controls will close after the last car, or 15 minutes after the planned start time of the last
car, whichever comes first. Stage finish controls will close upon the passing of the safety sweep crew.
Teams that arrive at a start control after it closes are considered to have exceeded MPL and must
immediately suspend from the competition.
10.5 In the event of a large time gap between teams, an ATC may require a competitor to immediately
enter without penalty in order to reduce the gap and improve safety. Competitors so “waved in” must
comply without delay.
10.6 All Transits are ‘Quiet Zones’, meaning stock headlights only, no anti-lag, keep the noise down, no
weaving or swerving to warm brakes and/or diffs, speed limits are strictly enforced. In addition to RCR

enforced by the Montmorency County Sheriff's Department.

the area in the vicinity of an ATC as a rest room. Local residents have cited both and we need their
support for the rally to continue. Violation will result in exclusion.
11 SERVICE
11.1 Service will be at the Atlanta High School. Service spots will be assigned by the Chief of Service based
on the event entry date and additional site requests the Registrar has on hand as of noon, Friday, July
9. Service assignments will be sent to competitors on Wednesday, July 14. Approximate time
allowances for servicing are given in Appendix 1.
11.2 Service spots are ~ 20 x 50 ft. Extra, adjacent spots (20 ft x 50 ft) may be purchased for $200 each,
which will increase the width, or the length (both options are available). If your service rig will not fit in
the allocated service spots, you may make arrangements with the service area chief for use of one of
the limited number of extra length spots for $200, or you may purchase enough extra service spots to
accommodate your rig.
11.3 Service crews will be allowed to park and set up in their assigned space once the service area opens.
Crews needing to offload their competition car should do so outside the service area proper. There is a
large lot south of the Atlanta School that may be used for offloading.

are allowed entry into any service area. All occupants must be credentialed. The Service Area
speed limit is 15 mph.
11.5 Trailers used for servicing are allowed in the service area provided they fit within your assigned service
spot. Since maneuvering trailers can be difficult in the aisles of the service areas, if you don’t need your
trailer for service, please leave it at your motel, or use a drop-off lot outside the main service area.
11.6 There is no limit to the number of service vehicles per competitor; they must be registered and fit within
the assigned service spot..
11.7 Competition vehicles may not be refueled in a service area, except when in the fuel depot itself. The

spills and remove all equipment by the Depot’s closing time.
