Rule of the Day - Driver's Infractions

CMC Rule 3.3 Driver’s Infractions
The NASA CCR sections 25-27 regarding on course conduct will be followed with the following exceptions. All on course contact requires each competitor to fill out a body contact report form and submit it to the Race Director. The Race Director or the CMC Officials at an event will form an Incident Review Board, which may consist of CMC Directors, Coordinators, competitors, and NASA Officials. The IRB will review the incident, determine fault if any, and communicate this to the CMC Officials at the event, who will in turn work with the Race Director to determine penalties based on the severity of the on course infraction. Penalties will be based on the list in the NASA CCR section 27.

For those of you who aren't aware, Al's done a great job of trying to get ALL of our racers involved with an IRB at one time or another so that everyone can see how infractions are reviewed & decided upon. If you're interested in being involved with an IRB as an unbiased, peer review...Let Al, Glenn or David Donovan know.

CCR Rule 27.11 Issuing Penalties
The IRB may choose to issue any penalty for any infraction. However, it is highly recommended that they follow closely with what is published in the rulebook. Any deviation from what is published without due proof of mitigating circumstance may be grounds for appeal. The following is a list of suggested penalties for the listed infraction:

1. Contact bumper to bumper with no deviation and no damage: No penalty
2. Any sheet metal contact with no damage and no deviation: No penalty
3. Any contact causing deviation, with no damage, but loss of a position: Reposition
4. Any contact resulting in “damage” as defined by these guidelines: One (1) race suspension
5. Any contact resulting in a “punt” as defined by these guidelines: Disqualification
6. Any contact resulting in damage and punt: Disqualification and one (1) race suspension
7. Passing under a standing yellow or double yellow: Reposition to last place (minimum)
8. Passing under waving yellow and / or over-driving any yellow: Disqualification (minimum)

These are general guidelines for standard penalties. They may be additive or multiplicative depending on the situation and the person’s past record. The IRB may invoke more severe penalties for repeated violations. Any deviation from these guidelines should be justified in the report to the Race Director.
