Category: Policies and Procedures

In an effort to provide drivers with a minimum number of runs at each event, the Okanagan Precision Driving Association board has implemented the following policy capping the number of drivers that may enter an event.

“Attendance at OPDA Autocross events shall be limited to 40 participants except for evening events before May 15 and after July 31 when attendance shall be limited to 35 participants. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course.”

The policy takes into consideration both the available daylight and lot rental hours for Kelowna evening and Vernon morning and afternoon events.

Please note that the policy will be enforced starting with the August 23 Kelowna event. To avoid missing an event, members are advised to register early. Note that you may cancel your registration without penalty prior to the event. No-shows will face a $10 charge.

At its October 11 meeting, the OPDA Executive approved three new policies that members should be aware of.

Policy	Policy Text	Purpose
Event Registration Deadlines	The event registration deadline for Friday and Saturday events is midnight on Thursday, and the registration deadline for Sunday events is midnight on Friday.	To allow volunteeer staff time to properly prepare for each event.
Random Vehicle Inspections	At each event, one vehicle will be randomly chosen for re-inspection to verify its accurate classification.	To ensure proper classification in the event of vehicle modifications over season.
No Show Fee	Registered drivers who fail to attend shall have a no-show-fee of $10 deducted from their event refund.	To ensure cancellations are done in advance to provide accurate event preparation.
