1 Introduction

Sections 1 through 21 and the appendices conform to FIA WRC Appendix 3 Regulations for Rally Guides. This

document has no regulatory power and is to be used for information only.

1.1 Sandblast Rally Chairman Andrew Frick

2 Covington Rd Greenville, SC 29617

864.735.5301

1.2 Atlantic Rally Cup History The Eastern States Rally Championship started in 2004 and the Sandblast Rally had the honor of being the

first event of the first Rally Championship organized by NASA Rally Sport. The series then traveled to Tennessee

and New York for three more Rally events. In 2005 the International Rally in Northern New York was added to the

Rally Championship lineup. Then in 2006 Rally West Virginia was added to the Rally Championship list of events. The

roads in West Virginia proved to be technical, popular and further increased the varied types of terrain that

competitors fight to conquer each season.

In 2008, the twin Championships of the Atlantic Rally Cup and Atlantic RallyMoto™ Cup replaced the Eastern

States Rally Championship. The now familiar events – Sandblast Rally, Rally Tennessee, Rally West Virginia, and

Black River Stages – comprised the Championship.

In 2009 a tarmac Championship was added in Florida. In 2010 a winter event in Canada, Rallye de Charlevoix

was added. The Atlantic Rally Cup for car competition began scoring on two classes - All Wheel Drive (AWD) and

Two Wheel Drive (2WD). While Motorcycle classes for the Atlantic RallyMoto™ Cup remained the same. However a

Quad class was added as a rallying option in certain rallies.

2013 brought big changes to the Atlantic Rally Cup & the Atlantic RallyMoto™ Cup with the addition of the

Empire State Performance Rally in New York. It was also the first year that the series was considered part of the

National Qualifying Series. The events & results started counting toward qualification to race in the NASA National

Rally Championship. The decision was also made that year to drop the Rallye de Charlevoix, as the total number of

rallies was becoming unreasonable for a grassroots effort.

Lastly, in 2014, the Magnum Opus Rally in Newberry, Michigan was added to the Atlantic Rally Cup and

Atlantic RallyMoto™ Cup.

1.3 NASA Rally Sport Atlantic Rally Cup & RallyMoto™ Cup Points Table This is the first event of the season, an updated Atlantic Rally Cup and Atlantic RallyMoto™ Cup points table

is not available. An updated points table will be available later in the season.

1.4 Two Way Radios Radio communication within the United States is governed by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC). Users must either be a licensed amateur operator (HAM license) or use licensed business frequencies.

Equipment power and allowed frequencies are limited. Further information can be found at: www.FCC.gov

1.5 Hospitality The Sandblast Rally organizers are not currently planning any hospitality/VIP tours. If you would like to

provide these services for your sponsors or clients please contact Andrew Frick to arrange the details.

1.6 Event Passes & Plates All participants must wear wristbands indicating they have signed an event waiver. These will be required for

entering controls and working in the service park. No metal event plates will be issued for this event. Vinyl stickers

6.1 Participation Competitors who have completed registration, scrutineering, and the Novice Competitor Orientation (if

required) and who have prepaid for shakedown access may participate in the shakedown stage. Helmets, suits and all

other safety gear are required. Some teams may be asked to carry a passenger for a publicity run of the shakedown

stage.

6.2 Time & Location Friday, March 4, 2015: 3:30pm – 6:00pm @ The Curve Tavern

8096 Hartsville Ruby Rd, Patrick, SC. 29584

843.634.7614

6.3 Participants Using this road will prevent us from putting ruts in stages that will be used the following day. After completing

the stage, it is roughly 5.1 miles to drive back around to the start. Overall transit distance is about 22 miles from

registration. Service vehicles are not allowed at the start or finish of the shakedown stage. When your team is

finished in the shakedown stage, the rally vehicle must report immediately to the Parc Exposé on Chesterfield's Main

Street in front of the 1884 Chesterfield County Courthouse.

Which is a large red brick building on the north side of the street. Teams will be checked in and out of the Parc

Exposé. Failure to attend will result in a one minute penalty. Restaurants on Main Street will be open. Teams are

encouraged to dine locally and leave their vehicles in Parc Exposé while dining. Teams must arrive by 6:15pm and

can leave the Parc Exposé after 7:30pm. No service crew members or spectators may participate in the shakedown

stage by riding in a vehicle.

Please note that the shakedown stage is used for publicity and rides in rally cars are sometimes arranged for

event sponsors and town officials. Some teams will be approached and asked to provide rides for a mayor, police

chief, or an event sponsor. Please understand that this sort of activity is paramount for continued close relations with

the town and forest that allows use of their roads. These riders may need to borrow helmets. The ride with a sponsor

should be at 60-70 percent of testing speeds, and viewed as a ride, not an opportunity to test.

6.4 Cost The cost of Shakedown is $25 and is included in the Deluxe entry package. Those registering for a Basic entry

package will not be able to participate in Shakedown.

6.5 Spectators at the Shakedown One spectator area will be available at the Shakedown stage. All persons who go to this spectator area must

sign a waiver. Spectators will be allowed within the designated and taped area only. Any team members or crew

traveling outside the designated & taped area will incur a one minute penalty.

6.6 Directions to Shakedown

6.8 Shakedown Service Due to concerns about the amount of cars on the side of route 145 near the start of the shakedown stage we

are moving the service location for shakedown. The Curve bar has agreed to let us use the grass lot to the right side

of the building lot for service during shakedown. They have room for trailer parking if you intend to trailer your

race vehicle. Do not park or perform service activities on route 145.

8 Import of Vehicles & Spare Parts / Importing into America The following is an excerpt from a U.S. government publication entitled “Importing A Car”: Nonresidents

may import an automobile or motorcycle and its usual equipment free of duty for a temporary stay to take part in

races or other specific purposes. However, prior written approval from the EPA is required and such approval is

granted only to those racing vehicles that EPA deems not capable of safe or practical use on streets and highways.

If the contests are for other than money purposes, the vehicle may be admitted for 90 days without formal

entry or bond if the Customs officer is satisfied as to the importer’s identify and good faith. The vehicle is subject

to forfeiture if it is not exported or if a bond is not given w/in 90 days of its importation. Prior written approval

must be obtained from DOT. A vehicle may be temporarily imported for testing, demonstration, or racing

purposes. With rally cars being capable of “safe and practical use streets and highways” this complicates matters,

and we recommend that you research the matter carefully. Another encouraging part of the document states,

“These vehicles may be operated on public roads or highways provided the operations are an integral part of the

test." Sandblast Rally, giving no prize money, does fulfill the “contest for other than money purposes” clause. The

Supplemental Regulations explicitly state that no prize money will be awarded. The full document is available on

the official government importation web site:

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/prohibited_restricted.xml

Forms to import a car, you must deal with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, available

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/Racing/

You may submit the forms yourself, or have a US customs broker (at a port where the car will land) do it for

you. You do not need to have a NHTSA “Registered Broker” process this paperwork, as those businesses deal

with cars that are imported for sale.
