Change 7.9.2 to read as follows:
“7.9.2 Displaced or Downed Pylons on Course
A competitor encountering a downed or displaced pylon on course has the option of continuing the run or stopping
as soon as possible, and pointing out the downed or displaced pylon to a course worker. If the competitor stops,
he or she must proceed off course and will then be granted a rerun. However, if the competitor completes the run,
the time will stand.”

In conjunction with the above, change 7.4 to read as follows:
“7.4 RERUNS
Reruns will be granted only for timing failure, object on the course, or red flag, and will not be given because
of mechanical or other failure of the competitor’s car. A minimum of five minutes must have elapsed before a
competitor may take a rerun.
Pylon penalties are not carried over to the rerun. A DNF on a run for which a rerun would have been given shall
stand and no reruns shall be given.
In the case in which a competitor is red flagged or stops for a downed or displaced cone on the course, the
competitor may continue slowly through the remainder of the course, or may exit the course directly, and will
be granted a rerun if appropriate. Failure to exit the remainder of the course at an appropriately reduced speed
(generally 70-80% of competition speed) will result in a DNF for that run. It is important to clear the course in a
timely manner in order to avoid impeding the progress of the car following, and to ensure the event remains on
schedule.”

7.9.2 Pylons Down on Course
A competitor encountering a downed or displaced pylon on course has
the option of continuing the run or stopping as soon as possible, and
pointing out the downed or displaced pylon to a course worker. If the
competitor stops, he or she must proceed directly and slowly off course
and will then be granted a rerun. However, if the competitor completes
the run, the time will stand. In the case in which a competitor is red
flagged or stops for a downed or displaced cone on the course, the
competitor may continue slowly through the remainder of the course,
or may exit the course directly, and will be granted a rerun if appropriate.
Failure to exit the remainder of the course at an appropriate speed
(generally 25-30 mph) will result in a DNF for that run. It is important
to clear the course in a timely manner to ensure the event remains on
schedule.
Reruns for downed cones after the timing fi nish line will only be given at
the discretion of the Chief Steward.

Not good for Seb He has a good eye for those downed/displaced cones!

Is this a section we have to follow? Basically means you have to red flag all cars on course as a slow moving car along the outside of the course would almost always be considered a safety hazard. People can often point out down/out cones without impacting following cars.
