Event Rules & Regulations

These rules are in addition to, and not in derogation of the rules of common sense and exigencies that might arise at the scene. These rules in no way constitute the entire scope of how the event will be run, and the organizers reserve the right to implement rules on the scene as needed, or invoke and enforce a summary judgment based on circumstances that exist at the time. AUTOBAHN COUNTRY CLUB and Expo staff reserves the right to expel any person from the event at any time without refund.

For any questions related to the Rules & Regulations below, please contact
Jay Haire, Safety Steward.

Conduct:
The ITRCA, LLC Expo is an instructional driving event. Drivers are required to operate their vehicles within the rules that will be given at the event, and within the limits of their automobiles and the pavement. Attendance at each driver’s meeting is mandatory. An unexcused absence will result in the loss of driving privileges. Aggressive driving, risky maneuvers, excessive off-course excursions, or discourteous driving are strictly prohibited.

Participants are expected to conduct themselves according to the highest standards of courtesy and sportsmanship, particularly in their relationships with other drivers, course officials and AUTOBAHN COUNTRY CLUB staff, and in a manner that will not reflect adversely on the reputation of the group. High performance driving demands alertness and concentration. In order to ensure that all drivers are well rested and alert, Participants must be respectful of each other’s right to a peaceful night’s sleep. Fireworks, explosive or incendiary devices are strictly prohibited.

Failure to abide by these rules of conduct will, in the sole and final discretion of the Event organizers, result in penalties such as loss of driving privileges, up to and including expulsion from the Event.

While the Expo provides an opportunity for friends to socialize, a ZERO TOLERANCE policy will be in effect for drunken and disorderly conduct. A Participant who consumes illegal drugs during or within 24 hours prior to the event will be expelled. A Participant who consumes alcohol within 8 hours prior to when the track goes hot will, at a minimum, lose driving privileges for that day. Violation of the rules of conduct while the Participant is perceived to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or perceived to be exhibiting post-consumption symptoms such as a loss of alertness, awareness or mental acuity will, in the sole and final discretion of the Event organizers, result in loss of driving privileges, and/or more severe sanctions up to an including immediate expulsion from the Event. A Participant who is expelled from the Event will not receive a refund.


NOTE: Due to incidents at previous events, anyone caught breaking the rules (examples: burning anything, performing “burnouts”, et cetera) will be IMMEDIATELY EXPELLED from the event WITHOUT REFUND. Also, anyone expelled from the event may be prohibited from returning to future events held by ITRCA, LLC.

Passengers:
Passengers on the track are allowed only with the knowledge and permission of the organizers. The ability to take a passenger on track is a revocable privilege, not a right. It is expected that instructors, and advanced students after lunch on May 18th will be the only persons approved to take passengers. Absolutely NO devices such as cameras, etc. to be held by passenger or driver while on course. All such equipment must be firmly fastened/secured to inside of vehicle.

Instructors should not solicit Participants to drive Participants’ cars on track. However, Participant may request that an instructor drive his or her car. If an instructor agrees to drive a Participant’s car, then in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, signed by the Participant and each Releasee against whom Participant may assert a claim for damages, the terms of the General Release and Waiver of Liability for the Event shall govern and restrict Participant’s claims for any and all injuries and damages which are caused by negligence, whether active, passive, ordinary or gross, or otherwise of the Releasees.

Alcohol and other drugs:
A Participant who consumes illegal drugs during or within 24 hours prior to the event will be expelled. A Participant who consumes alcohol within 8 hours prior to when the track goes hot will, at a minimum, lose driving privileges for that day.

Great news!

race_the_world

bout time!!

is it wrong that Im sorta bummed that the minimum car count is 65? i was kinda hoping for less thihs year, with a closer knit group of people and all the regulars at a smaller track. hell i was hoping it would be all ITR registration ONLY (and previous attendees of course) unless we couldnt get enough people to go and open it up to everyone else.

Doespike

WOOOOOOOOOOOT!! Expo FTW!!!!!!

PrinceAli132

Came here just for this.

Thanks guys, we all appreciate the time and energy you guys put in to make this happen.

If me beater is out and not yet stolen.. i'll go!!

PansitPinoy

Wow, this is awesome news!!! WMHM.9 and ITR Expo 9... which should I choose.. lol. Now I've just gotta pony up the cash.

George Knighton

Guys, you have to use UBB code in your signatures, not HTML.

Very best of luck. :-)

white rocket

This news has certainly made my day

Beasty18C5

This may be the one I loose my expo virginity to, not to far from the Ontario border

Beasty18C5

Are all these itr's gonna be safe in illinois? will there be extra security at the hotels?

itr#1334

iTrader: (2)

That is a good question. Would be crazy to catch a thief with so many itr owners i can guarantee there would be one hell of a beat down.

nsxtasy

Sorry to hear it won't be closer to home for me.

Those driving from the East, bring your EZ-Pass, which you can use on Illinois's and Indiana's toll roads, and it will save you money vs paying cash. (Ohio won't be accepting it till fourth quarter 2009.)

For anyone who is planning to fly to the event, Chicago has two major airports, O'Hare and Midway. Midway is slightly closer to Autobahn; I'm guessing it's maybe 35 miles vs 45 miles for O'Hare. Southwest Airlines has tons of flights to Midway with low fares, but you have to go to their own website; their flights won't show up if you look on the major travel agency websites like Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, etc. O'Hare has all the flights from overseas.

Those were improperly converted when we moved from Zeroforum to vBulletin.

CDUB

Well not the best news for a WA state R owner! I really wanted to go to this but IL is pretty far away. Obviously you can't make everyone happy, maybe next year.

Hooch'n

great info.


Get registered peeps

Count me in... I cannot wait!

Stinkycheezmonky

Figures it'll be right in my back yard when I'm thinking about moving. I'll most likely show up to hang out, though my car won't.

Wes, if you guys run short on instructors I'll be available (even though I won't be driving) and can probably scrounge up a few locals. I'm sure Ken can scrounge up a lot more

cheezthis

I think between you, Ken, and myself, we should be able to get a good instructor base this year. At least, I hope that's the case.
