AGGRESSIVE DRIVING AND BEHAVIOR

Any aggressive behavior of any kind must be reported to a board member within thirty (30) minutes of incident in order to investigate the incident.

SIGN-IN, LINE-UPS AND POINTS

All cars need to be signed in thirty (30) minutes before start of program. A crew member may sign in the driver. Any car arriving late or forgets to sign in will start in the rear for all events that night. It is the responsibility of the driver or crew member to notify the person in charge of the line-ups.

LINE-UPS DONE BY THE CLUB: Line-ups will be done by pulling pills for the HEAT ONLY. The driver with the highest pill will start in the rear of the heat with the driver with the lowest pill starting up front. The feature line-up is done by the finishing order of the Heats. However, if you are not a regular participant at the racing events, you will automatically start in the rear of both events; you must have attended three races to be able to pull pills for starting position. If a car doesn't show for position for the heat or feature, the line will slide up.

POINTS: Ten points will be given for attending a racing event. Ten points will be given for taking the green flag in the heat race. Fifteen points will be given for taking the green flag in the feature race. Points in the heat race will be 15 points and down by one for each finishing position. Feature race points will be 30 and down by two for each finishing position. Points are given to the driver not the car.
If a driver spins out twice during a particular event (heat or feature), you must leave the track immediately and you will lose your points for that particular event (heat or feature) in which you spun out.

All races are point races. If a rain-date is given those points will count.

BLACK FLAG AND STOPPING ON THE TRACK

Any drivER receiving the black flag should immediately report to the pits. The board will then review the reasoning for the black flag and make a points determination.

After the start of the race, the flagman has complete control of that event and their decisions are final.

Any car that comes to a complete stop on the track should automatically go to the rear of the field. If you don't go to the rear you forfeit any points for that event.

NUMBERS

All cars shall have a number, not more than three (3) numerals painted legibly on both sides.

PROTEST: Members may protest any car/driver relating to the general and class rules. All protests must be lodged within thirty (30) minutes of the checkered flag of the event in which the car is entered. Only drivers and car owners entered in the same event may lodge protest. The protest will be investigated by a board member and their decision is final. If you are protested and found illegal, all points for heat and feature will be forfeited.

RULE VIOLATION: if a car comes to an event with clearly excessive general rule violations the car will not be allowed to race at that event. The car must meet ALL RULES in order to run.

INSPECTED: all cars will be inspected once each year for rule compliance.
