Section 12: Controls and Time Cards

All controls, (Main Time Controls (MTC), Arrival Time Controls (ATC) Start Controls (SSS) Flying Finish Control (FFC) Stop Controls (STOP) and End of Control Zone (ECZ) will be FISA type signs.  The SCCA signs are equivalent and are as follows:

•   The yellow clock sign replaces the “Open Gate” sign.

•   The "Clock" sign at the Arrival Time Control is red.

•   The "Start Flag" at the start line is red.

•   The "End Control Zone" sign is beige.

•  The "Open Gate" sign 100 yards before the end of a stage is replaced by a yellow checkered flag sign

• The "Special Stage Finish" sign is a red-checkered flag sign.

• The "Clock" sign at the timing control is replaced by a red STOP sign.

• The "End Control" sign is beige.

• Passage Controls shall have a yellow "Stamp" sign, a red "Stamp" sign, and a beige "End Control Zone" sign.

Competitors may check in early at the final control each day, and declare their ideal arrival time, as long as that time has not passed. (Note: The control may not be set up prior to 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival time of the first competitor vehicle).

The entries on the competitor vehicle Timecard is the official record from which scoring decisions will be made. It is the responsibility of the competitors to verify all entries made on the Timecard at the time of entry. No changes to an entry on the Timecard, other than changes made by control personnel at the time of original entry, will be made, except at the discretion of the organizers when there are:
1) discrepancies with the control logs, or
2) mathematical errors in stage time computations.

No protests or inquiries, based upon entries made on timecards, shall be accepted.

Replace SCCA ProRally Rule, page 60, 7.4, A, 10 with the following:

Competitors may only mark that areas noted for competitor use on the time card.  Failure to observe this may lead to exclusion from the event or a 10-minute penalty at the discretion of the Event Steward of Event Chairman.
