Parts damaged through carelessness may, if available, be secured by a team member from the Part Supply designated at the contest. The time taken to install damaged parts will be considered as part of the elapsed time. Damage to an engine which cannot be repaired during the time allowed will result in disqualification from the contest. The judges will observe progress or repairs but will not interfere with teams unless such repairs are damaging to engine or to the safety of the contestants. When the team contestants feel they have finished they will signal the judge and the time will be recorded and the scoring of contestants will be completed by the judge.
Contestants are to wear safety glasses in the contest.
Each contestant will supply their own glasses. Contestants may assume that the engine is equipped with a functional electronic ignition. There will be no malfunctions requiring the removal of the engine side crankcase cover. A trouble diagnosis guide will be useful in preparing contestants but cannot be referred to during the contest. One sample of such a guide is enclosed but it will not be used as a basis for scoring in the contest.
