these rules Chapman’s Can Am Speedway and Motorsports Park will be
referred to as Can Am. Can
Am officials reserve the right to disallow any claim they feel to be
inappropriate. All
procedures apply to 602 and 604 engines unless individually categorized. Note:
Keep in mind there is a chance you may be purchasing an engine that may
not be legal to the rules in a 602 or 604 sealed crate engine division.
In accepting the engine you accept the risk. Claim
Amount: 602-$4000
604-$6000 Engine
claim can only be entered in a feature event. This includes special
event features. Driver
being claimed will be notified of the claim-the driver must immediately
choose to accept or refuse. If accepted, removal of engine from chassis
must start at once. Engine must be in the custody of Can Am officials
within 1 hour of notification of being claimed, or, unless there are
extraordinary circumstances, be classified as refusing to be claimed. Components
received with claim: engine along with components supplied by GM factory
with new engine purchase. Any parts/components that illegally replaced
the original GM factory supplied parts/components will remain with the
engine. Keep
in mind if the claimed engine is used in competition in a future 602 or
604 sealed crate engine event, the then affected driver and car will be
subject to all rules and penalties, in addition, at this later time
there can be no recourse against the driver or the car the engine was
claimed from. Any
engine that is found to have an issue regarding rules, the appropriate
sanctioning organization will be notified. Further action may be
implemented. Driver
and car are both subject to all procedures and penalties, therefore
driver and car will be assessed the penalty(s) until the complete
penalty(s) have been satisfied. Not being the driver’s regular car has
no involvement with any decisions or the outcome. In
the event of more than one claim on the same engine in the same feature,
one of the following actions will be apply. 1. All claims may be denied.
2. Claiming drivers will draw numbers-the highest number drawn is
entitled to enter the claim. 3. Track may decide to take over the claim.
Determining which action must be decided within 10 minutes of entering
first claim. Inspection
Procedure: Non-tamper
seals will NOT be removed and will include only the components listed;
DOM/ser# plate in place, camshaft profile, compression ratio, cubic inch
verification, valve spring pressure. Inspection
will establish the engine’s legality for the affected event only,
furthermore offers no assurance of the engine passing any future
inspection at any track. The
track will retain the entire claim money amount until the engine
inspection along with a ruling has been finalized and will be restricted
by the following actions. *Engine
deemed legal with the inspected parts/components-the claiming driver
must accept the engine. *Engine
deemed illegal with one or more of the inspected parts/components-the
claiming driver must within 10 minutes of being notified of the findings
choose 1a. or 1b. of the following actions. 1a.
Refuse to accept the engine, therefore the claim money amount will be
returned to claiming driver. 1b.
Accept the engine and relinquish the claim money amount to the claimed
driver, less any possible fine(s). Once
claiming driver enters the decision 1a. or 1b. to the tech official in
charge, the decision will be final and cannot be changed. Claiming
Driver: Driver
and car must finish on the same lap as the first place position car in
the affected feature and also on the same lap as the first place
position car in the three consecutive scheduled feature events in the
affected season prior to the affected feature claim date at Can Am to be
eligible to enter an engine claim; as a result no engine claim can be
entered before the end of the 4th scheduled feature in the
affected season at Can Am. Driver/car combination in the prior three
events does not have to match as long as driver and car both
individually meet the requirement. Claim
cannot be withdrawn after being submitted to the tech official in charge
of the affected division. Driver
Being Claimed: Driver
and car are subject to the engine claim rule upon taking the green in a
feature event at Can Am. “Did not finish” does not change the effect
on an engine claim regarding the driver and car being claimed. Driver
only can refuse an engine claim. Car will also be subject to any
potential fine(s) or penalty(s). All
persons involved with both cars are expected to conduct themselves
professionally. Any physical or verbal action against other racers or
track officials will not be tolerated. POTENTIAL
PENALTIES The
following fines and penalties are NOT mandatory-as each occurrence has
individual circumstances, therefore each incident will be dealt with
individually. Refusing
to be claimed-Withdrawing a claim-Engine found to be illegal Will
result in a potential $1000 fine assessed to the driver and car. The
driver and car will both be accountable for the fine as well as any
other penalty(s) involved until all have been satisfied completely. In
the event of the imposed fine not being paid, the affected driver may be
allowed pit gate admission but may not be allowed to compete as a driver
in any division. The affected car may be denied entry to Can Am pits
until the fine has been satisfied. In
the event the engine is deemed to be illegal; the engine may be returned
to the claimed driver upon the claiming driver refusing to accept or
held until any assessed fine(s) is paid; this will be handled
individually and will be the exclusive decision of Can Am officials. The
affected engine will not be allowed to compete at Can Am in crate engine
status. In
the event of a car or driver second offense will impose a potential
$2000 fine along with the same circumstances as with a first offense.
In
the event of a car or driver third offense driver and car may be banned
from Can Am for 1 year (12 months) from affected claim date. Physical
or Verbal Action Against Other Racers or Track Officials Potential
$100 fine. Failure to pay fine could result in banned from Can Am. |
