FORWARD
In 2008, the CORR Rule Book has been revised in several respects. We urge you to study carefully the new Rule Book, in order to be familiar with these revisions as well as those rules that have not changed. Every organization, to be successful, must have good rules and fair enforcement. We believe that the 2008 CORR Rule Book achieves the first of these objectives. Throughout the year, CORR Officials will use their best efforts to accomplish the second. The CORR Rule Book is designed to continually promote better competition while attempting to minimize the costs of participation. In keeping with CORR’s commitment to maintaining proper balance in the competition arena, it may be necessary for CORR to make rule changes and/or rule modifications from time to time. Such changes are designed to enhance close competition. CORR’s goal of a full starting field of various car makes n each race that are as equally matched as possible is certainly in the overall best interest of the sport. This is what CORR has strived for in the past and will continue to strive for in the future. We at CORR wish all of you a successful and rewarding year of racing.
CISSY BALDWIN Chief Operating Officer

In such rare circumstances, CORR Officials as a practical matter may make a determination regarding the conduct of an Event, the eligibility of a Competitor, or similar matters that are not contemplated by or are inconsistent with the CORR Rules, in order to achieve this goal. From time to time in particular rules, Official Entry Blanks, Bulletins, and elsewhere, CORR may us the term “EIRI”- meaning “Except in Rare Instances” – to indicated the likelihood that such a determination may be made. CORR, however, may make such a determination even if “EIRI” has not been included in a particular rule, Official Entry Blank, Bulletin or otherwise. Such determinations are reviewable by CORR Supervisory Officials. Such specials rules shall apply to the conduct of the Event if they are published or announced prior to or during the Event by means of a Bulletin, newsletter, telephone fax, or pre-race meeting.

5-4
All changes relating to a race program, including time trials, hot laps, press runs, practice and pre race off road racing contest, during an Event, must be approved by CORR.
SECTION 6- SAFETY 6-1
Off road racing is an inherently dangerous sport. Each Member assumes the risk of bodily injury, death, or property damage when he/she participates in an Event. Members are required to advise their spouses and next of kin, if any, of this fact. Although safety is a concern, by virtue of its limited role in the conduct of any Event, CORR cannot be, and is not responsible, for all or even most aspects of the safety effort. That responsibility instead rests with the various participants in the Event(s) as follows: A. Promoter -The Promoter is directly and finally responsible to ensure that the racing facilities are adequate for the Event; that adequate safety personnel and equipment are provided for each Event, both for the purpose of preventing injury where reasonably possible and responding to injury when it occurs; and that the conditions at the racing facility are maintained in a reasonable manner to reduce the risk of injury. B. CORR - Employees and representatives of CORR, when they are present at an Event, will inform the Promoter of any inadequacies in the facilities, safety personnel, and equipment, or other conditions at the track that they observe and consider, in their best judgment, to be inconsistent with the interest of safety. In addition, CORR works with the Competitors, Promoters, car manufacturers, and outside independent experts to facilitate, where and when appropriate, the exchange of useful information regarding safety designs, products, practices, and procedures. Where appropriate, it will also institute rules and procedures relating to safety. CORR, however, is not and does not hold itself out as an expert in safety standards, designs, practices, or procedures, nor is CORR a standards organization or a designer, manufacturer or seller of safety-related products, facility designs, or race car designs. C. Competitors - All Competitors are obligated to inspect the racing facilities, safety personnel and equipment, and conditions at the track on a continuing basis before, during, and after the Event. Since the competitors are closer to the racing facilities, safety personnel and equipment, and conditions at the track on a continuous basis throughout the Event than CORR Officials or the Promoter, it is their obligation to inspect, observe and report to the Promoter promptly any inadequacy in the facilities, personnel, equipment or conditions at the track. Competitors also are solely and directly responsible for the safety necessary to perform their duties as a driver, owner, or crew member This includes activities involving all race equipment, race vehicle, and support equipment to ensure minimum amount of risk or injury to themselves and others. NEITHER CORR NOR THE PROMOTER CAN OR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADEQUACY OF A COMPETITOR’S OFF ROAD RACE VEHICLE, RACING EQUIPMENT OR RACING ACTIVITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PURPOSE. D. CORR Officials - CORR Officials are often independent contractors, often employed by the Promoter in other capacities. Those officials, in the exercise of their independent judgment, should report promptly to the Promoter any observed safety inadequacies in the racing facilities, safety personnel and equipment, and conditions at the track. In addition, if a CORR Official observes any safety inadequacies in a Competitor’s off road racing equipment, or conduct, the Official may take whatever action is deemed reasonable and appropriate in order to correct such inadequacy. Such action may include, but is not limited to, physical examinations, medical determinations, and driver ability or experience tests. The Competitor is obligated to follow the Official’s directives. CORR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF ANY CORR OFFICIAL AS IT PERTAINS TO SAFETY.

SECTION 7- ENTRIES 7-1
Entry Requirements A. In order to compete in a CORR Event, a member must submit and have approved an Official Entry Blank for the Event. B. It is the responsibility of the Member to obtain the appropriate entry form, and to ascertain and abide by all applicable deadlines and instructions. The mailing of such forms to Competitors does not relieve them of this responsibility. C. The Member must complete the Official Entry Blank for the Event in full and submit it to the appropriate office (as specified on the Official Entry Blank) by the deadline listed thereon. D. In the Event an Official Entry Blank is not submitted by the deadline, CORR, in its sole discretion, may decide to accept the Competitors entry in which case he/she will be assessed a late fee of $250.00 The deadline date of the Official Blank submission will be two weeks prior to the date of the Event. The submission time will be determined by the date contained in the U.S. mail delivery date, fax timestamp, email timestamp, or online registration timestamp. Telephone entries will not be accepted. E. Refund Policy - once a vehicle enters on to the racecourse whether in practice or competition, a refund can no longer be issued. All refunds must be requested through CORR Headquarters within 14 days after the conclusion of the scheduled Event. F. Acceptance of any entry is at the discretion of CORR.
7-2
Member Obligations/ Agreements / Releases A. A CORR sanctioned Event is a competitive motor racing Event, which is intended to be conducted and officiated in accordance with this Rule Book, as it may be amended from time to time, any special rules that may be published by CORR specifically for the Event, and any applicable agreement to which CORR is a party. BY SUBMITTING AN ENTRY APPLICATION AND/OR TAKING PART IN ANY ACTIVITY RELATING TO THE EVENT, A COMPETITOR AGREES TO ABIDE BY THE DECISIONS OF CORR OFFICIALS AND PROMOTER OFFICIALS, RELATING TO THE EVENT OR ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THE EVENT, AND AGREES THAT SUCH DECISIONS ARE FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE AND NON-LITIGATABLE. SUCH COMPETITOR FURTHER AGREES TO INSPECT THE RACING AREA TO INSURE THAT IT IS IN SAFE, RACEABLE AND USABLE CONDITION, AND THAT THE COMPETITOR VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES THE RISK OF, AND HAS NO CLAIM FOR DAMAGES AGAINST CORR, PROMOTER OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICIALS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES BY REASON OF DAMAGE TO THE OFF ROAD RACE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER, PIT CREW OR ANY OTHER PERSON. ALL COMPETITORS ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES SUSTAINED, INCLUDING DEATH AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, ANYTIME THEY ARE IN THE RACING AREAS OR EN-ROUTE THERETO OR THEREFROM. THE COMPETITOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT COMPETITOR UNDERSTANDS THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, WHICH MAY RESULT FROM RACING, AND THAT COMPETITOR SOLELY ASSUMES ALL SUCH RISKS. B. When a Competitor submits an Official Entry Blank or informs a Promoter or CORR that the Competitor will attempt to compete in an Event, and the entry is accepted, the Competitor becomes obligated to attempt to compete in the Event. C. If a Competitor participates in a CORR sanctioned Event without having properly submitted a fully executed Official Entry Blank, the Competitor nevertheless is subject to all CORR rules, amendments and special rules, as well as all statements, releases and obligations appearing in the Official Entry Blank, as if he or she had properly submitted a fully executed Official Entry Blank. Such Competitor will have no claims for damages and/or compensation of any kind for any advertising exploiting his or her name, picture or the picture of his or her race vehicle, or exploiting the achievements of any product used by the Competitor, relating to the Competitor’s participation in the Event. D. Only persons approved by CORR may enter the racing area. No Competitor may enter the racing areas, (HOT PITS, racing surface, or other race related areas) unless he/ she has personally signed all required entry forms, waivers and release of liability forms, and pit permits, applicable to the particular Event. No person will sign at any time, for any reason, any entry form, waiver and release of liability form or pit permit for anyone other than themselves.
