Alternate Participant Program

Because of the popularity of the JEG'S ENGINE MASTERS CHALLENGE, for 2007 the Rules Committee has added an additional possible participation level to the event called ALTERNATE PARTICIPANT. This is due to the program limit of thirty (30) total running entries at this competition. ALTERNATE PARTICIPANT are builders who may be called upon at a later date to become a competitor in the event by replacing an already assigned Team.

ALTERNATE PARTICIPANTS are encouraged to continue to develop their planned engine build utilizing JEG'S ENGINE MASTERS CHALLENGE RULES as in past competitions numerous teams/ participants have dropped out prior to the start of our event. Being designated as an ALTERNATE PARTICIPANT allows you to replace a Drop-Out Team and join the competition to possibly win the event.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. SHOULD I CONTINUE TO BUILD: As to continuing to build the competitive entry engine, that is entirely up to you. While we hope that you would continue on your to work on your possible entry, ALTERNATE PARTICIPANTS are assigned a number and the lower that number is the higher the probability that a competitive slot would appear and you called on to fill it. Not guaranteed, but again you need to make that decision yourself as drop outs have been varied and in most cases happen more towards our competitive date.

2. WHEN IS THE ENTRY FEE DUE: Your entry Fee is not due until 10 days after you have been notified and you have accepted an Open Slot for competition. At this time, no entry Fee is needed.
