There will be certain minimum requirements which must be met
if an event is to be considered for inclusion into the CRS Rally
Championship. These requirements have been established to develop
credibility in the eyes of the competitors, and thereby promote
rallying in general (and the CRS specifically). A first time Rally
will only be allowed to count as either one single points event or
one double points event in the CRS Rally Championship for that
weekend. To be considered for inclusion in the championship as a
triple points event or multiple events the rally must first have
been executed successfully.
There will not be any additions to the CRS Rally calendar after
Jan 1. Any changes to the schedule published in this book must be
approved by the CRS BOG.
Rally Championship Classes
The five CRS classes will be recognized at all rally events (Open
4WD, CRS-2, CRS-5, CRS GT and Performance Stock). The SCC is
responsible for the determination of vehicle eligibility for the
Stock Classes. The SCC will furnish a list of qualified CRS GT and
Performance Stock Class vehicles to the organizer prior to the
start.
Claims
Any claims will be handled per the competition rules under which
the event runs.
Trophies and Awards
As a minimum, CRS Rally events will award trophies/awards to the
top 1/3 of the starters (limited to top 5) in each CRS class (for
finishers only). Trophies will be for both drivers and co-drivers.
For multiple event weekends the events may be combined into a
single trophy for the weekend.
Rallysprints (Driver-Only vs. Co-Driver Events)
Rallysprints are sometimes held on short courses where co-drivers
may not be required. To avoid confusion relating to co-driver
requirements, any Coef. 1 event advertised as a rallysprint that
is included in the Rally (not Rallysprint) Championship which will
require co-drivers must so state in the event announcement. If there
is no such statement (“CO-DRIVERS REQUIRED”) co-drivers’
points will not be awarded in the Rally Championship, regardless
of what happens at the event. The Rallysprint Championship does not
award points for co-drivers, even if they are required.
Organizer Support
The CRS will loan any CRS organizer the funds required to pay the
sanction and insurance fees. This loan is to be repaid to the
treasurer prior to the event. The CRS maintains the following
equipment and materials for use by event organizers free of charge:
clocks (freezable Timewise clocks plus large start display clocks),
rallycross timing system, green flags, family radios, sign boards,
worker vests, clipboards, an EZ-Up, and a portable public address
system. Rally organizers will be allowed one pre-event mass emailing
to current CRS members. The email can be sent by the Secretary. The
CRS will rent equipment to non-CRS organizers for 10% of the
replacement cost of the particular item. Equipment that uses batteries
will be supplied for rental with new batteries installed.
