This Rule Book may be amended from time to time. Special rules may be published by ARCA specifically for the Event and any applicable agreements to which ARCA is a party may also apply. The ARCA Rule Book is designed to provide for the orderly conduct of ARCA-sanctioned Events. Ultimately, the solution for unauthorized or improper officiating lies not in individual challenges seeking to undo what has been done, but rather in pressure brought upon the Officials in charge by drivers, owners, fans, and even ARCA to improve the caliber of Race supervision. It is the responsibility of each Member to address any complaint he/she might have regarding officiating to ARCA management. It is ultimately the obligation of each participant to ensure that his/her conduct and equipment comply with all applicable ARCA Rules, as they may be amended from time to time. EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL NOT RESULT FROM PUBLICATION OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH, THESE RULES. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of stock car racing and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators, or others. 4 – ARCA Intellectual Property Owned By National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc.
