A start is defined as a competitor in the entered car having turned a wheel on the track during any session of the event.

NARRC FEE: A $1 fee will be collected in the 2011 season.

OTHER ITEMS;  Tie breakers, points loss from exclusions, disqualifications, protests, etc. may parallel GCR National event rules.  The voting NARRC Committee Members will rule on situations not in the GCR.
