GENERAL TRACK RULES

14+ DRIVERS

The intent of the lowering the driving age to 14 years of age is to encourage family participation in motor sport racing and provide younger drivers the opportunity to hone driving and mechanical skills in a controlled environment that promotes safety and good conduct.

These rules apply to drivers aged 14 to 16 years who don't possess a valid BC Driver's Licence or a class 7 "L" licence. Drivers possessing a class 7 "N", or higher (6 through 1), or are 19 years of age or older, are excluded from these special rules, and are required to participate under the regular TSCA rule system.

14+ drivers are restricted to driving in the Mini Stock class only and must be a current registered member of the TSCA. PRIOR to being accepted as a driver under the 14+ rules, the following must be done:

Forms (provided by TSCA) which include the following information must be signed by both parents/legal guardian and handed in to the Executive.

Permission waivers (required by the insurance company).

Emergency contact information.

If the parents/guardians are not present in the pits during race events, they must provide the names of two adult TSCA members whom they designate as being responsible for their minor child during track events. At least one of these members must be present in the pits during a race event in order for the 14+ driver to participate.

The driver will be required to demonstrate his/her ability to safely operate their race vehicle by completing a minimum of 40 practice laps at the Terrace Speedway under the supervision of at least two TSCA Executive members that are not related to the driver. They can be completed in more than one session and should be performed on practice days (refer to Hotlapping Times). The TSCA Executive reserves the right to request additional practice laps before granting permission to race. When satisfied with the driving ability of the applicant, the supervising Executive members will sign their permission that the applicant may now participate as a driver.

14+ drivers are required to obey all rules outlined in the current TSCA rulebook and additionally are subject to the following rules, which supersede any related regular rules:

b1. They must start their first three race days at the back of the race line-up. They may optionally start at the back for an additional three race days
kkki(and can apply to the TSCA Executive for additional race days, if needed). The Executive or Flagman may at anybtime direct a 14+ driver to start at the back of
kkkithe race line-up. Failure to comply will result in a suspension for the remainder of the race day and a TSCA Executive review of driving privileges. If a race day is
kkkirained out or otherwise cancelled before the driver has the opportunity to complete two races that day, it will not be counted toward the above.
