Recently there has been some confusion on the purposes of the licence declaration forms available at the track. These are documents that are offered to racers that are unable to present their current credentials on race day. Most often they are used when a racer has sent their licence or logbook for renewal and it is still current. It can be used in an emergency if a licence or logbook is still current and can not be found but it is always a better and cheaper solution to find your documentation.
Below is some important information on declarations:
1. These licence and logbook declarations state that a racer is a current licence/logbook holder of ANDRA. If your licence has expired and is not currently being processed by ANDRA you CAN NOT sign a declaration. Having just put the licence in the mail does not mean ANDRA is processing the licence. It is the responsibility of the racer to ensure all paperwork has reached the ANDRA office and is being processed before they sign the declarations.
2. Racers will be invoiced for these declarations if not at any fault of ANDRA.
3. If a competitor has a current licence and returned the licence and competitor passbook to ANDRA head office for renewal, they will NOT be charged or fined for the declaration.
4. Any racer found to be signing a false declaration i.e.: paperwork still in the mail, or not yet been received or updated by ANDRA will be fined and/or suspended for a period of three months.
5. Any racer who “just left the licence/logbook at home” will be charged for the invoice (logbook declaration $110.00 inc GST and licence declarations $55.00 inc GST).
6. Any racer that signed a declaration is required to be scrutineered.
7. The decision to charge a racer for a declaration lies with ANDRA head office, not ANDRA stewards/officials on the day.
