The rule is quoted as it appears in the 2008 rulebook – then additions and changes are underlined, shown in red. Deletions are shown in strikethrough text, both are barred in the margin. The tracking information is located following the rule indicating the reference number, date received, source, purpose and action taken to date. Corrections for typographical and grammatical errors and simple housekeeping in the 2008 edition have been identified and corrected and unless the meaning has changed are not necessarily included in this document. The RCPs included herein were reviewed and approved in principle by the applicable technical committees. In the Combined Drivng RCPs, you will note grammatical errors in the text. We have chosen to use the language in the current draft document to facilitate comparison with the FEI final document due later this year. In this section, please consider the intent of the rule (normal font)and whether or not the ADS exceptions are relevant and correct. Members wishing to comment on any of the proposed changes may send them to the ADS on or before AUGUST 31, 2008: Rules Committee American Driving Society Box 278 Cross Plains, WI 53528 Or correspond by e-mail to the ADS office at: rules@americandrivingsociety.org 2009 RCP 1 page per sheet (2.36 MB) 2009 RCP 2 pages per sheet (1.73 MB)
