Rookie "R's"

[jeremiahkellam]

I removed all evidence of "A rookie drives this car, go ahead a push me around" before going to Nats.
Do I really need to put them back on, will I get DQ'd or be omitted from ROTY standings??

if you have run the required number of races, you do not need to run them.

from the CCR:
13.2 Rookie Status
Any NASA Provisional License holder is defined as a “Rookie,” and will remain so until
they have finished eight ( 8 ) races without significant incident. Additionally, the Race
Director may place any driver on Rookie status. Rookie status is simply a designation,
and implies no punitive reflections or consequences. A Provisional License holder that
fulfills the requirements, and receives a competition license, may still carry the “Rookie”
title, as defined by this section. A driver on Rookie status must comply with all of the
following (sections 13.2.1 and 13.2.2).
13.2.1 Rookie Marks
The driver must display the letter “R” (legibly) next to their car numbers on each side,
and on the rear, of the car. The “R” on each side, and the rear shall be three inches (3”)
high. The Rookie mark (“R”) must remain on the car for at least eight ( 8 ) races, and may
only be removed with the permission of the Race Director (or appointee).
13.2.2 Rookie Plate
Drivers with less than eight ( 8 ) races must mark the rear of their vehicle with a bright
orange mark. The mark must be clearly visible to other cars while on track and shall be
at least forty eight ( 48 ) square inches. The Rookie plate may be removed with the
approval of the Race Director after the driver has finished eight ( 8 ) races without
significant incident.

You are NO ROOKIE my friend...

"May only be removed with the permission of the race Director..."

So... yes or no???

You're good to go. You did miss out on the "remove the 'R' ceremony". So, don't be surprised if your group finds other ways to haze, er um I mean congratulate you.

If you read the whole rule it says "must" in a lot of places.

Your above quote concerns once you meet the 8 race minimum, you can only then remove them after being granted permission.

Don't ask how I know this ... :roll:



As one of you competitors, I have no problem with you running as is.
