GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Driver of each car represents to the Promoter and all others, that his car has satisfied all applicable rules, including but not limited to safety rules, whenever such Driver participates in any warm-up, practice, or competitive laps.

The Driver of each car is also completely responsible for all actions of Crew Members, Sponsors, or all else signed under their number.  Driver and Crew Members will be subject to fines, probations, suspensions and the Driver disqualified for violation of rules by Crew Members.
