Resolution of Protest initiated by Rahul Jairath and Mike Elhard at the Kananaskis Rally - Nov 8, 2008

Original Inquiry: Adam Vokes and Hardy Schmidtke inquired as to the classification of Rahul Jairath and Mike Elhard's car, a 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Mike Elhard classified his car as P4. Adam and Hardy claimed that the car was not legal for P4, as there were not 100 units of the car in Canada, as per the CARS rule book.

Inquiry Resolution: Keith Morison accepted the Inquiry, and as there was no documentation accompanying the car, agreed that the car was not legal for P4, and changed the car's classification to Open.

Rahul Jairath and Mike Elhard protested the Inquiry decision, indicating that the car had run in P4 class weeks earlier at the Pacific Forest Rally and had not been Inquired by Adam and Hardy there. On that basis, Rahul and Mike felt their car was P4 legal and, given time, could prove the quantity in Canada.

Acting as Steward for the event, Dave Sharp decided that Rahul and Mike would have 1 week from the date of the rally to prove or disprove that there are 100 units in Canada. If 100 units could be shown to exist, then the car would be scored in the rally as a P4 class car. If not, it would be scored as an Open class car.

On Wednesday, Nov 13, 2008, Rahul informed the Steward that he had contact RIV, the Registrar of Imported Vehicles for Canada, and asked them to provide the number of units in Canada. They indicated that there are 36 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo's in Canada currently.

Accordingly, the Protest is denied and the car is hereby classified for the rally as an Open Class car.

Volunteer Information

One of the best ways to get into rallying and learn how and what to do is to volunteer to help out at an event.

There are many positions available, most not requiring any special knowledge (we'll teach you anyway). From the registration table to timing controls and spectator control.

Volunteers are needed:

  • To help with competitor registration
  • To help with technical inspection of rally cars
  • To help with rally equipment for the event -signage, marking off stage areas, etc.
  • To operate time controls - timing cars at stage starts, stage finishes and into the service parks.
  • To secure the roads - ensuring that roads leading o­nto the stages are secure. In other words, the "best seats in the house to see the action"
  • To host sponsor and media representatives
  • To help with spectator safety - marshals who ensure that spectators remain in the designated viewing locations and stay safe.
  • To monitor service parks for safe practises and to ensure that spectators are not too close to competitor cars during service.

Some positions need specialist skills. People with qualifications as amateur radio operators, emergency medical technicians, and advanced first aid are critical for event safety and security.
