I agree with DD 121. It sounds like tech could be a bear this year.

There are several rules that I would like to remind people of. We are not in the business of making fickle calls for disqualification, but several IWA rules are being "bent" quite a bit and I just want to point out a few things within the rules for racers to pay particular attention to.
First and foremost
1) RACE OFFICIALS:
a) The Race Officials have the right to disqualify the driver or sled for any reason. Race Officials decide the final interpretation of all rules. Race Officials have the right to disqualify any sinkers. Disciplinary action may be taken against drivers for unsportsmanlike conduct by themselves or their crew during a race or the awards ceremony which may dismay the I.W.A., its image, or the promoter’s interests. A fine of $100 and/or the expulsion from 1 race may be imposed. The driver has the right to appeal to the president concerning these actions.
b) Required Protective Gear:
i) SNELL 2000 approved Full Face Helmet of any bright color. We will have stickers to buy if your helmet doesn’t meet color requirements.
ii) U.S.L.G. (or Canadian equivalent) approved 100 M.P.H. rated life vest of any bright color.
iii) Shoes, socks, long pants (no exposed skin below the waist) and race shirts, preferably long sleeve.
iv) Motto-cross style pant are required in Oval and Mod Drag classed.
v) Eye protection is required for everyone in the staging area and starting line areas. It is recommended that those in pit area wear eye protection at all times.
h) Fire Extinguisher
i) Everyone must have a working fire extinguisher in their pit area in case of fire. One (1) reprimand will be given, after which World Series points will be taken away.
5) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
a) NO OPEN ALCOHOLIC beverages permitted in the pit area during race hours. ANYONE suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including DRIVERS, PIT CREWS OR VISITORS) while in the pit area during racing hours will result in the DRIVERS DISQUALIFICATION
***I've heard some talk about a breathalizer being there. The IWA is NOT going to get into doing BAC checks on racers and will not be operating a breathalizer at any IWA event. Do keep in mind that if we suspect a driver, crew member or visitor to be intoxicated in the pit area during racing, we WILL enforce the rule. My suggestion is simple: Have a good time, but shut it down when the bar closes and get some sleep. Show up to race in the morning with a clear head and put on a good show for the crowd. Enough said about that
Next...
vi) Two (2) standard* round wear bars or none at all. (GET THOSE CARBIDES OFF!)
d) Fuel Test
i) D.C. Test
ii) D-15 Test
iii) Water Solubility
iv) Ceric Nitrate Reagent (Test for Alcohol)
v) Race Officials/Tech personnel will perform tests using general criteria similar to the test methods written in the current ISR rulebook.
vi) Any or all of the fuel tests may be applied.
vii) Drivers will allow officials to test their fuel at anytime.
viii) A contestant appealing a fuel disqualification must bear the expense of the fuel analysis and handling.
ix) It is the drivers’ responsibility to ensure that his/her fuel is acceptable. If you are in question, have your fuel checked.
d) Engine, intake and carburetors must remain stock. NO Blue Printing or machining is allowed.
k) Aftermarket skis will be allowed. Ski must be standard trail type ski. Skis may be altered.
Like I said before, I would hate to have to disqualify anyone but we are getting to a point where some people need to be made an example of. Don't let it be you
