PREFACE 

To enhance the safety of participants and spectators at SPORTS CAR sanctioned automobile races and to provide for the orderly conduct of events require adherence to these rules, the SPORTS CAR Code, hereinafter set forth. All SPORTS CAR license holders and members agree to comply with these SPORTS CAR Rules, as they may be amended from time to time, which rules, as interpreted by SPORTS CAR, govern the conduct and organization of all SPORTS CAR sanctioned events. The 2001 SPORTS CAR Code supersedes all previous editions of the SPORTS CAR Code as well as all amendments thereto, and shall remain in force and effect except as provided herein, until superseded by publication of the next edition of the SPORTS CAR Code. 

It is ultimately the obligation of each participant to insure that his/her conduct and equipment comply with all applicable SPORTS CAR Rules and Regulations, as they may be amended from time to time. No express or implied warranty of safety shall result from the publication of, or compliance with, these Rules. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators or others. 

In keeping with SPORTS CAR’s goal of close competition, it may be necessary for SPORTS CAR to make rule changes from time to time. Such changes are designed to enhance close competition and maintain a proper balance in the quality of our racing programs.
