1) A maximum of two (2) cars of the same class may be entered per driver, one primary car and one backup. Drivers may not switch classes once qualifying starts. All drivers' cars will be impounded prior to qualifying and will be released after their respective finals have concluded.
2) The primary car must be used for the duration of the race unless failure occurs. Failure of the car constitutes either a significant drop in speed or complete immobility due to reasons other than lack of maintenance (cleaning, oiling, adjusting, etc.). Upon failure of the car, the driver will enter their backup car and resume racing. Backup cars will only be issued during green flag racing in qualifying or finals. Once a driver elects to enter their backup car, the primary car is impounded and cannot be used for the remainder of the race.
3) Visual inspection and wheel width tech will be done before the start of each qualifying heat. No unteched cars may be run during the race. Cars that fail this portion of tech may not enter the race unless corrections are made to make the car legal.
4) Arm tech will be done on the top five finishers in each class, and those cars will be impounded at the conclusion of the race. Cars failing arm tech will be disqualified.
5) No substance of any kind (i.e. WD-40, tire goop) is permitted on the tires at the starting line or when the car is put on the track after lane changes.
6) Driver order will be determined by draw before the race and then be determined by qualifying before main heats.
7) Home and commercial tracks will open by no later than 3PM and racing will commence by no later than 5PM, except by the discretion of the owner and/or by the group's schedule.
8) Race fees will be $5 at all tracks with the exception of special race events. A home track host will receive $3 of every $5 of fees collected for hosting the race.
9) Practice is 2 minutes per lane. Drivers must marshal at the marker of the lane color they wish to practice on prior to actual practice. Drivers may not move to another lane for practice (unless it is open) without marshalling first. It is the driver's responsibility to select, prepare and setup the best car for the race during practice.
10) Drivers must go to their lane stations before receiving their cars. Drivers are not allowed to remove their cars from impound during a race. Drivers must not remove their cars from the track following the last heat when laps-sections are tallied. Drivers who violate this rule will receive zero (0) sections for the heat.
11) Drivers are allowed 1 minute of warm-up/practice on their first lane for qualifying only. Drivers may make adjustments to their car during the race, but must do so at the driver's station and perform the adjustments themselves. No crew chief and/or pit crews allowed.
12) Race format will consist of 2-minute qualifying heats followed by 3-minute final heats. Drivers are allowed one (1) minute during lane changes after which the race will resume. Lane marshals are advised to clear the area around the track to allow drivers quick access to their cars during lane changes.
13) Following the qualifying heat, drivers are placed in the order of finish by number of laps turned. The first final heat will consist of the 4-6 drivers with the lowest lap total. Drivers with the highest laps-sections after the heat are limited to one (1) move-up to the next heat. Drivers arriving too late to enter qualifying for their class will not be eligible to race.
14) Keeping the car in the slot is the driver's responsibility. If a car deslots, the car will be returned to the track by a marshal. Marshals will do their best to replace the car in a timely fashion and are advised to watch the cars and not the race. Drivers may point out to a marshal that a car needs attention, but drivers may not curse, scream, or abuse the marshals. Drivers who have been deemed by a majority of the committee members present at a race as abusive to a marshal will be warned after the first instance and then docked 1 lap per incident afterwards.
15) Lap totals from the finals will determine finishing order by respective heats. The top five/ten drivers per class will be determined by combined qualifying and final laps-sections. The winning car from each final heat will be photographed after the race and will appear with the driver's name on the race results web page. All drivers' names and results will be shown in their respective finals heats with the top ten overall drivers listed by class separately.
