Scrutineers may carry out some tests at the Mitta Mountain Rally.  If they do, it would be at the halfway regroup between heats, if there is adequate time.  The regroup is scheduled to be a maximum of 20 minutes.

Self Extraction tests were carried out on a sample of competitors at Rally of Canberra at the end of 2023, and all met the 15 second requirement without too much trouble.

We would like to provide some information that may help crews understand the process, if they are selected as part of a sample at Mitta.

Refusal to comply with a request by an official of the event to undertake the test would be reported to stewards, who would be obliged to stop that competitor from continuing in the event.

If a competitors fails to self extract within 15 seconds after three attempts, they are considered to have failed, and would be reported to stewards, who would be obliged to stop that competitor from continuing in the event.

If a competitor passes the test, it will be noted in their vehicle logbook and they are not required to test again for 12 months.

There will be no prizes for the fastest extraction, although competition is expected to be intense.
