Hey gang, there is nothing new about the MRA's Drug and Intoxicant Policy. It's been in the rule book since the beginning(See Section 9 - Racer Conduct). With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, we felt the need to bring it to everyone's attention what the MRA's, and the track's, policies are and outline what the consequences are so there are no surprises.
Ryan, if the members are abiding by the rules, there shouldn't be a need for this. The MRA will not knowingly allow anyone on the track that is under the influence of alcohol.
Aaron- the content of the rulebook is not selective. It applies to everyone the same. And as I mentioned above, this policy is nothing new. If a #1 plate holder is caught possessing or using federally illegal drugs, including marijuana, they will face the consequences just like any other member will.
Although alcohol is an intoxicant, it's not illegal and is allowed once the track is cold at the end of the race day just like it's always been.
There will not be "party police" patrolling the paddock. However, if we do you see you using or in possession of a federally illegal drug, or consuming alcohol while the track is hot, we will enforce the rules.
And to answer your question, I am the sheriff.
