Supplementary Re gulations New Hampshire & Maine July 15-16, 2016 Round 6 of the Nation nal Championship Series
Welcome Message As Chairman of the Performance Rally, I welcome each of the competitors and their teams, alll of our volunteers, sponsors, media, and our enthusiastic and all-important land owners, as we embark on the 26 th running of NEFR in July, 2016. The off season has presented us with a number of challenges. The first of which has been, as many of you are aware, that Ted Goddard, the past chairman of the Maine and The New England has not been well, and will be unable to join us this year. Ted has been involved with our event since its early inceptionn doing the myriad things that need to go into running a National Rally event. From managing the registration process to coordinating the entries, to making sure the workers have all they need to perform their jobs. Ted has been theree (not always so quietly) performing these duties. We have to remember that this event would not be what it has been these many years withoutt the professionalism he has brought to NEFR. Ted s constant oversight has been the key element that has kept our event on course and his presence is surely missed. We have been extremely fortunate to have a large number of key volunteers step up and share the load presented by Ted s absence. Another key role that needed to be filled was that of Rallymaster, since Mark Everett, who had performed this role for the past 6 years, has a conflict in his schedule and cannot be at the event this year. Rest assured that Mark has been very much involved in pre-event planning and organization. In Mark s absence, John Buffum, the originator of these Maine/New Hampshire events has graciously agreed to serve as our Rallymaster, in which he will use his vast expertise in the running of the 2016 New England. In doing so, he will step down as the team manager of the Vermont Sportscar Rally Team for the duration of the event. We certainly appreciatee and thank Vermont Sportscar for allowing John to be of service. NEFR once more would like to thank the land owners who permit our use of their lands and roads for our enjoyment. The Towns of Peru and Woodstock allow our use of the Concord Pond Stage; one of the stages used every year. Seven Islands Land Management has provided roads used on both Friday and Saturday from the very beginning. The use of Wagner Forest Management s roads has been welcomed, and has addedd to the diversity of our stages. Our Plum Creek Forest group has been a wonderful partner in our stage use. Recently they were bought by Weyerhaeuser whose new management is reticent to permit use of their roads this year. We look forward to bringing them back into the event in the coming year if we are successful in helping them understand our sport and its positive effect in the community. There will be plenty of stages to keep you all happy, so no worries. We would like to thank all the men and women working in these companies; without their support the event could not happen. Our permission to return each year is a testament to the high standards in which we as competitors, organizers, workers and fans conduct ourselves and to our high regard for the environment through which we travel. When driving on the recce, please be ready to pull over and give way to the logging trucks who are on their way to the mill! This is all so we can continue to race on their roads. 2 of 22

Parc Exposé and Parc Fermé will be located in the South Ridge Parking Lot 2 at the Northwest end of the Sunday River Resort just outside the.

When stage roads are run twice, if you stop or are stuck on course your car will be left in a safe location until after the second running of the stage. We have refined MPL as above to allow the Sweep and Medical team to more closely follow the majority of competitors. This means that between Regroups your maximum time to be late is 15 minutes shorter than normal. But your day-long lateness is about the same (or longer). Please respect the Sweep vehiclee in doing his job. For Teams running only the Saturday Regional rally there will be a mandatory driver s meeting at 7:30am at the MTC Out.

19. Unauthorized Practicing / Reccee (IMPORTANT!!!) The Performance Rally, LLC (NEPR) has worked very hard with the various landowners to obtain the right to use their land for stage roads. One must remember these stage roads are private, active, logging roads. Logging trucks are paid to deliver logs. To do so safely they travel the middle of the road. Every landowner has made it clear, if we have a repeat of past problems, e..g., trespassing, their land will be closed for good. No more New England Forest Rally. NEPR has agreed to notify all Participants - Drivers, Crew & Workers of the following: The landowner s roads are CLOSED for any rally related purpose at all times throughout the year except for date & times approved for the NEFR. Anyone found on the roads at any other time will be banned from competing in NEPR, LLC Rally s under Article 4.8 of the Rally America rules. If you desire to use any of these landowner s roads for testing, you must have prior written permission from the landowner with a copy to NEPR, LLC clearly stating the Date, Time and Road. The landowners reserve the right to set conditions on said use which may include a road use fee or actual denial of access.

Parc Fermé, Impound and Teardown All vehicles are subject to inspection by the Technical Inspection team at any time during the rally. This team is aware of the running schedule, and transit times are such to allow the Technical Inspection team to complete their during-event checks without exposing a competitor to road penalties. All finishing competition vehicles will be directed to an impound area at the final MTC. Vehicles so directed are required to remain in the Parc Fermé area until released by the Event Steward or his designee or referred for additional inspectionn as required. Selected vehicles may also be subject to a tear-down. 23. Fuel/Refueling While the rally is in progress (Opening of the Service Area at Sunday River on Thursday until the finish of the rally on Saturday) refueling may only be conductedd in official rally Fuel Depots. Regional Competitors in an emergency can use a normal public gas station. Refueling may never be done in a Service Area, regardless of whether the area is active at the time or not. Fuel Depots are located adjacent to Service Areas. Refueling will typically be after exiting a service area. Refueling time will be incorporated as part of the Regroup time in which the refueling takes place. Fuel Depots are considered Hot Areas. The following Fuel Depot requirements must be observed (to satisfy State Fire Marshall requirements): Only registered drivers, co-drivers and service crew are allowed in the Fuel Depot. All parties in the Fuel Depot must wear long pants and closed toe shoes. Teams must man a fire extinguisher (minimum 5 Lb. / 40 BC) during refueling. All refueling must be done on a protective tarp.
