I laminate the regs so if they are kept in the car throughout the event and the vehicle is not quite water tight they do not get damaged.

Do you also laminate final instructions, stage diagrams, pace notes, service plans, maps etc? Why not just put your paperwork in A4 plastic envelopes? I usually take a folder made up of plastic pockets to hold my papers. Simple, quick, cheap, can be re-used, takes little space, accommodates new papers received on the event, keeps everything together and if you need more water protection then you shouldn't have driven into the lake.

No just front and back cover . You can pick the laminates up quite cheep so I don't mind doing it. All documents are then put in my bag behind the seat. Keeping the regs in the car has helped in the past as a quick look in the morning ref lateness etc. A A4 folder could be seen as a bit bulky in your rally bag I think

The folder I use is not like a big lever arch jobbie beloved by accountants. It is just a plastic cover over a number of plastic pockets, so not significantly bigger than the A4 content it holds. Interesting that you keep your bag behind the seat. I keep mine at my feet. I could never get at it if it were behind my seat, and I often need access to it on road sections.

Interesting you say about the bag by your feet. Can't do with things floating around on stage. Ideal for quick access I must say

How do you get something from your bag if you need it on a road section?
Have you had things come out of a bag by your feet whilst on a stage? Can't say it has ever happened to me, and usually I don't even zip the top of the bag.

I keep all my stuff in the door pocket Road book , Pacenotes and time card , I just find it easier that way. I can normally reach around the seat to get anything that I need . I have a tendency of dropping a lot of pencils which I find a pain .

Oh right. Never thought of that. I can't remember the last time I sat in a rally car that had door pockets.
