Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 120-3-18-.01 - Promulgation and Purpose
(1) These Rules and Regulations for fire
safety inspections, operation, licensing and certification of Motor Vehicle
Racetracks and Grandstands are promulgated by the Georgia Safety Fire
Commissioner as specified in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.)
Section 43-25-8. These are minimum
requirements meant to provide reasonable safety to spectators during racing
events and do not necessarily include requirements to protect participants and
management of the racing activities.
(2) An on-site inspection of all existing
racetracks and all new proposed racetracks shall be made by the State Fire
Marshal, the proper local fire official, state inspector, or authorized
representative of the Safety Fire Commissioner to determine compliance with the
overall requirements as set forth in these regulations. This on-site
inspection, along with adherence to the written rules and regulations, shall
determine whether such racetrack shall be issued a certificate of occupancy and
license.
(3) The purpose of these
rules and regulations is to prevent injury and loss of life to spectators while
observing and viewing motor vehicles engaged in contests of speed or
endurance.
(4) These regulations
are directed primarily for the construction and operation of motor vehicle
racetracks: No attempt has been made to establish specific design in detail for
motor vehicle racetracks. It must be realized that the terrain of the racetrack
itself could, in some cases, create an undue hazard or on the other hand,
promote a particular safety feature with reference to the elevation of the land
in relation to the racetrack itself.
