The rules for this event are pretty much the same as last time but ill post some anyways.

Rules for EVERYBODY

1) Drugs and Alcohol
The consumption of alcoholic beverages at an event by participants is expressly prohibited. Any participant suspected to be under the influence of alcohol will be immediately ejected from the event and will not be permitted to return again for the duration of the season. Alcoholic beverages may be consumed only by spectators at venues where this is permitted. Anyone consuming alcoholic beverages is not an eligible passenger as per section 5.

Controlled substances (drugs) are expressly prohibited at the event site except in the case where such a substance is prescribed by a doctor. However, such prescriptions that may impede driving ability are not permitted (for example – sedatives or opiate-based pain killers). A person who requires the use of such a prescription is not an eligible participant (driver).

2) Belongings
Theft is a problem. In a perfect world people would not need to take things that are not their own. However we do not live in this perfect world and, on occasion, things have a way of sprouting legs and walking off. It is strongly recommended that you secure your belongings in a fashion that will help prevent their spontaneous evolution. It is also strongly suggested that if you see something suspicious that you immediately report it to event staff and/or security. There is nothing wrong with looking out for someone else’s belongings – someday it might be your belongings that are being looked after.

The following points outline the requirements for your vehicle to pass the technical inspection. Again, please be sure that your vehicle is capable of passing this technical inspection before attending the event. If this requires a visit to a local mechanic or to a friend, do so.
