Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) These Rules and Regulations for fire
				safety inspections, operation, licensing and certification of Motor Vehicle
				Racetracks and Grandstands are promulgated by the Georgia Safety Fire
				Commissioner as specified in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.)
				Section 43-25-8. These are minimum
				requirements meant to provide reasonable safety to spectators during racing
				events and do not necessarily include requirements to protect participants and
				management of the racing activities.
(2) An on-site inspection of all existing
				racetracks and all new proposed racetracks shall be made by the State Fire
				Marshal, the proper local fire official, state inspector, or authorized
				representative of the Safety Fire Commissioner to determine compliance with the
				overall requirements as set forth in these regulations. This on-site
				inspection, along with adherence to the written rules and regulations, shall
				determine whether such racetrack shall be issued a certificate of occupancy and
				license.
(3) The purpose of these
				rules and regulations is to prevent injury and loss of life to spectators while
				observing and viewing motor vehicles engaged in contests of speed or
				endurance.
(4) These regulations
				are directed primarily for the construction and operation of motor vehicle
				racetracks: No attempt has been made to establish specific design in detail for
				motor vehicle racetracks. It must be realized that the terrain of the racetrack
				itself could, in some cases, create an undue hazard or on the other hand,
				promote a particular safety feature with reference to the elevation of the land
				in relation to the racetrack itself.
