Regulations

Sanctioning Body Regulations:  PRO1600 rules do not in any way replace or modify the competition and safety regulations issued by the race organizer or sanctioning body.  Stock or Production class rules will apply unless modifications are specifically allowed herein.  This does not necessarily mean that any organizer will allow you to run in the Stock or Production classes (in the event that they do not have a PRO1600 specific class), but you will still be held to the rules for those classes.  Starting order will be selected by the race organizer.  PRO1600 is not responsible for the safety and mechanical condition of any race vehicle.

The PRO1600 Association only describes the specifications of the competition 1-2/1600 vehicles.  The approval of safety equipment and technical inspections will be the responsibility of the event organizers or sanctioning body.  The vehicle owners, drivers and passengers assume any and all risks and liability arising from the use of their vehicles. 

Competitors are notified that it is expressly agreed that PRO1600 its officers, directors, agents and employees have no liability, joint or several, to anyone for the results of any occurrence during participation with race teams.  This release of future acts of negligence is given with the intent to waive the protection of Cal. Civil Code 1541 which would have protected your right to have asserted claims about which you do not know.

        Protests, Rule Violations, and Penalties: No official protest concerning fellow PRO1600 competitors is to be lodged with the race organizer without first being submitted to the official PRO1600 representative at the event.  If the involved parties cannot resolve the situation, then it can only be submitted to the race organizer after it is countersigned by the PRO1600 representative.  Bear in mind that many race organizers require a substantial fee for filing an official protest.

A $100 fee will be required to protest another vehicle relating to PRO1600 specification rules.  This fee must be submitted to the PRO1600 representative at the event at the time the protest is lodged.  A PRO1600 Competition Review Board may meet with the PRO1600 representative directly after the finish of the event.  This Review Board will assist the PRO1600 representative regarding rule infractions and penalties.

Infractions or non-compliance of the PRO1600 specification rules may result in a warning or punishment at the discretion of the PRO1600 representative at the event.  A warning may consist of a Fixer Ticket, which would require the vehicle to be within compliance of the rules prior to starting the next event.  A minor punishment may include loss of points, loss of one or more finish positions, and or loss of any prize and contingency monies.  A major punishment may include disqualification from the event, from a number of subsequent events, and/or a total ban from all future PRO1600 events.  The decision of the PRO1600 representative at the event will be final.  PRO1600 reserves the right to refuse any entry application.   Event organizers will be responsible for enforcing all event and vehicle safety regulations.

Event organizers will be responsible for enforcing all event and vehicle safety regulations.
