Rules and Regulations (February 2011)
This document contains the regulations and standards for Real Time Attack. This is not a stand-
alone document, and is designed to be executed in conjunction with the National Auto Sport
Association Club Codes and Regulations. All items in this document supersede any conflicting
items in the NASA CCR. It is the individual responsibility of every attendee to read, and be
completely familiar with, the entirety of this document. Failure to adhere to these rules may
result in immediate removal and potential ban from any and all Real Time Attack events. All
rules and regulations contained herein take immediate effect upon this document’s date of
release.
1. Administrative Overview
1.1. Definition and Disambiguation of Terms
1.1.1. Attendee/Attendees shall hereafter refer to any and all individuals present
at a Real Time Attack event, regardless of the intent or reason for their
attendance. This includes, but is not limited to: drivers, crew, passengers,
spectators, workers and volunteers.
1.1.2. Competitor/Competitors shall hereafter refer to any and all individuals
present at any Real Time Attack event for the purpose of competing in the
actual Time Attack event.
1.1.3. Participant/Participants shall hereafter refer to any and all individuals
present at any Real Time Attack event for the purpose of active participation.
This includes, but is not limited to: drivers, crew, passengers, spectators,
workers and volunteers.
1.1.4. Crew/Crews shall hereafter refer to any and all individuals present at any
Real Time Attack event for the purpose of directly supporting a specific
driver/team/car in any way such as, but not limited to: mechanical
assistance, external timing assistance, tuning and coaching.
1.2. Liability
1.2.1. “The price of man in motion is the occasional collision.” – Carol Smith
Racing is an inherently dangerous sport. As such, it is every attendee’s
responsibility to understand and accept this inherent level of risk. While Real
Time Attack will make all efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for
all attendees, risk can only be mitigated and never completely removed.
Therefore, in no way does Real Time Attack guarantee or imply that death,
injury or financial loss will not occur as a result of attendance or participation.
1.2.2. It is solely the responsibility of each competitor to ensure and monitor the
safety and roadworthiness of his/her vehicle or vehicles.
1.3. Authority
1.3.1. All competitors expressly agree to be governed by the determinations and
interpretations of these rules and regulations made by Real Time Attack
officials.
1.3.2. Real Time Attack officials present at the event are the final deciding
authority regarding the enforcement, interpretation and if deemed
necessary, modification of these rules.
1.3.3. The Real Time Attack Rules and Regulations are intended to ensure that
events are conducted in a manner that is as fair as possible for all
competitors and consistent with the need for prompt and final determination
of competition outcomes. On occasion, circumstances will be presented that
are either unforeseen or are otherwise extraordinary, in which strict
application of these regulations may contradict this intent. In such
circumstances, Real Time Attack officials will be the determining authority.
Every effort will be made to honor the spirit and intent of the competition to
provide the most equitable and legitimate determinations and
interpretations.
1.4. Protest
1.4.1. Protests may only be submitted by competitors present at the event during
which the incident to be protested occurred.
1.4.2. Any protests regarding any decision or occurrence must be submitted to a
Real Time Attack official no later than 30 minutes prior to the award
ceremony or conclusion of the event. Protests submitted beyond this point
will not be honored.
1.4.3. Safety violations are non-negotiable. Protests regarding safety violations
will not be honored under any circumstances.
2. Competition Description
