Placed in various locations throughout the site will be 30 'punches' These are trig point punches simular to those used in orienteering (normally look like a mini stapler!) Each punch has a series of pins that are used to stamp your control card which will be attached to the LH side of your vehcile Each punch is numbered 1-30 so you must stamp the correct punch to the correct number on your control card. We will arrange the punches so roughly 20 are driveable and 10 are winchable. You will need to use your driving skills to manouver your vehicle close enough to punch your card without removing either the punch or your control card from its fixed position. If punches or cards are tampered with this will result in disqualification. Scoring System Each punch has a 'point' value which will be added up at the end of the day to give you a overall score. Punches are worth the following Punches number 1 - 9 inclusive are worth 100 Points Punches number 10 - 19 inclusive are worth 150 Points Punches number 20 - 19 inclusive are worth 200 Points Punch number 30 is worth 400 Points Event times The day will start with driver signing in and vehicle scrutineering, after all vehicles are signed in we will hold the drivers briefing which will cover rules of the site and locations of the punches. After everyone is briefed the event will start. You will have till 3:30pm to collect as many punches as possible, you must be back at the signing in area at 3:30pm, if you are late you may have points deducted from your overall score. Communications CB radios will be on channel 22 on the day Walkie talkies will be on channel 3 Marshals will be contactable on these channals if you need assistance Roaming marshals will issue warnings for the following: Exceeding the site speed limit of 10mph Dangerous Recoveries Not wearing seat belts We are gratefull to the landowners who allow us to use their land and we must respect this the land is their source of income. Anyone found to be constantly breaking the rules will be asked to leave the site, you will NOT recieve any refund. Recovery Self recovery is allowed however the use of winches will be supervised wherever possible. We expect people using winches for self recovery to do so in a safe and controlled manner.
