Folks,
A number of questions have come up with regards to team rules and common practices. After many discussions with the series directors and confirmation with Clifton, our Race Director, we wanted to make sure we're all on the same page. Here are the rules and practices which will be followed:

22.4.1 Intent
The intent of the NASA team rule is to allow two (2) drivers to share the costs of racing
one car during a racing season.
Our intent in AI/CMC is to promote car count whereby one driver might not be able to make all the events for many reasons however two drivers (and their cars) can make it to all the events.

22.4.2 Declaration
The drivers must declare the team for any class(es) before either of the drivers has
participated in their first race of the season in that class(es). The declaration must be
done in writing to the NASA local office.
For AI/CMC...the series directors are keeping these records on file as the points keepers, so the declarations should come to the Series Directors.

22.4.3 Points Tally
Once the team is declared the two (2) drivers shall have their points tallied together.
Either driver may qualify or race the car, however both drivers must be registered for that
event.
If one driver qualifies then that driver should also be racing. If there is a change in drivers or cars between qualifying and racing, that driver must start from the rear of the field.

22.4.4 Restrictions
A maximum of two (2) drivers may be on a team in each NASA racing series.* Each
driver may only be on one (1) team per series. If both teammates are driving in the
same race, the lowest finishing position shall earn points (exception: CCR section #22.5,
and *the endurance racing series)
You can only be on one team per series. i.e.- may be on an AI team and a CMC team...but only one team per series. If both drivers are in the same race AND DON'T DECLARE WHO THE TEAM POINTS DRIVER WILL BE PRIOR TO THE RACE START, THEN THE LOWEST FINISHING POSITION WILL EARN POINTS. Two qualifying team members can declare which driver will be accumulating points after qualifying and before the race.
Be sure to notify the series directors of your intentions prior to the race.

22.4.5 Privateer Runs
A driver may collect points for himself/herself, independent of his/her declared team, so
long as he/she notifies the Event Chairman, or Race Director BEFORE qualifying.
Since the AI/CMC Series Directors maintain our points, (and are generally the race directors for our series) please notify one of the Series Directors. With prior notification to the series directors as to who the points earner for the team will be, only then will the 2nd team member then be declared a Privateer Run and earn points for him or herself.
