In the case that an additional vote is necessary, series President Chris Graves will be the filling / tie breaking vote. GENERAL REGULATIONS: A. All participants, crews and drivers shall adhere to the rule book of the sanctioning body of the host track. The track sanction rule book shall be the foundation for all competition in the Outlaw Fuel Altered Association (OFAA) unless otherwise stated in this rules supplement. B. Prime responsibility for the safe condition and operation of a vehicle in competition rests with the vehicle owner, driver, and crewmembers. Close observance of the standards set forth in this rules supplement and the track sanctioning rule book is required for all participants, including owners, drivers, and crewmembers. However, drag racing is dangerous. Therefore, no express or implied warranty of safety is created from publication of, or compliance with OFAA Rules Supplement or track sanctioning rules, nor does compliance with either guarantee against injury or death to participants. C. Drag racing is a dangerous sport. Drag racing always carries with it the risk of serious injury or death in any number of ways. The participant always has the responsibility for the participant’s own safety, and by participating in drag racing, the participant accepts all risks of injury, whether due to negligence, vehicle failure, or otherwise. If at any time a participant does not accept these risks, the participant agrees not to participate in drag racing with the OFAA series. D. The OFAA rules and track sanctioning body rules provide guidelines and minimum standards for the construction and operation of vehicles used in our events. Additional safety equipment or safety- enhancing equipment is always permitted and encouraged. The OFAA do not prohibit the individual racer from using additional safety equipment. Participants are encouraged to investigate the utility of additional safety devices. E. It is the responsibility of the participant, not OFAA, or the host track facility, to ensure that all safety equipment is approved and is correctly installed, worn and maintained. It is the responsibility of the participant to ensure participant’s race vehicle meets or exceeds the safety equipment requirements set forth in the OFAA rules and the host track sanctioning guidelines prior to, during and throughout event. OFAA will not be held responsible for damages resulting from participant or vehicle disqualification due to inability to pass technical inspection. Host track technical officials hold ultimate authority in technical inspection approval or denial. OFAA does not have the authority to override member track technical officials. F. The participant agrees that by entering and participating in an event, the participant has had the opportunity to inspect the event site and acknowledges that the event site is safe and suitable for racing. The participant agrees that he or she will not participate in the event if he or she does not believe that the event site is safe and suitable for racing. The participant further agrees that by entering and participating in an event, the participant has had the opportunity to ascertain the staff and equipment on hand, including without limitation number and location of personnel and number and type of rescue equipment, and acknowledges that the staff and equipment are adequate and suitable for racing.
