A message from the Scorer
Many competitors have overlooked the need for Drivers and Co-drivers/Navigators to register individually. In many cases, only one crew member has been scored as they are the only one registered.
As the registration process is new for this year, we are allowing some leeway in when you register. If you get your registration form in before the end of August, I will backdate your points to the beginning of the year. (Complete the 2024 Series Registration form here.)
If you enter your first HRA Championship event after the start of September, make sure you register before the event starts. No backdating after the end of August.
As long as you are registered as an HRA competitor, you do not have to enter events as an HRA crew (although we always appreciate it if you give your points to the association).
I also need some help in getting copies of results. Most rallies end up on www.results.vicrally.com.au, so I can find them there. Please send results to me if you have them for an event that hasn’t appeared in these progress scores.
Key members of an event’s organising committee (Clerk of Course, Assistant CoC, Checker, Secretary) are entitled to compensatory points. Ideally, the Clerk of Course for a championship event should nominate which of his/her team is to receive points, in which championship** and the role each played. This should be done by the time the event results are produced. Again, we will allow some leeway while everyone gets used to the new rules. Let’s catch up with this by the end of August—send a new registration form with your request for compensatory points in the “Note to the Competition Secretary” field.

** If the event counts for more than one car category championship for which the competitor has registered, the competitor must nominate which one they want to receive compensatory points. (Masters and Novices will be scored as well as the car category.)
