Copies of this agreement shall be submitted with the application.

004.02 The Department will determine if it is in the best interest of the general public to permit the contest on the roadway of such segment of the State Highway System and if the proposal will create undue hardship on the traveling public by requiring the use of a detour.

004.02A The sponsoring group shall be responsible for all costs associated with detouring the traffic from the highway right of way, damages to the highway, and hold the Department harmless from any claims that may result from the use of the highway for the snowmobile contest.

The group shall also provide a liability policy to the Department in the amount of one million dollars extended coverage with the Department named as additional insured.

004.02C All snowmobile operators shall comply with licensing and insurance requirements for motor vehicles as provided in the state statutes.
