2010 Track Rules, Regulations & Procedures

We would like to welcome all drivers and pit crews to our track. We hope that you have lots of luck and enjoy the race program we have scheduled. This is a set of our track rules and regulations that need to be read by YOU and YOUR pit crew members. Our officials are not perfect, but they are the best around and try very hard to conduct a fair and fun place to race.

1. Drivers Meeting You must attend or have someone represent you. If you have any questions, please ask them at the drivers meeting or before the 1^st race. There should be no unanswered questions by the end of the drivers meeting.

2. Pit Passes Anyone caught in the pit area without a pit pass will be ejected for the night. The race team they are with will also be held responsible and ejected for the night or not paid.

3. Drugs or Alcoholic Beverages NO drugs or alcohol will be allowed in the pits before or during the races. If caught, you will be ejected for the night. If you or any of your pit crewmembers choose to purchase any alcoholic beverages from the bar, you will not be allowed back into the pits until the race night is completed.

4. Driving in Pits NO SPEEDING coming off the track or in the pits. SPEED LIMIT IS IDLE SPEED. If a car is caught speeding, you will be fined $25.00.

5. Wheel Packing All cars in the class specified during the drivers meeting are required to pack the track. If you do not pack the track, you will start scratch that night. Please pay close attention and follow the flagman and infield crew directions when packing the track. Leaving the track before you are flagged off the track will result in starting scratch.

6. Staging Area All cars stage on south end of pits prior to racing, once the pit steward makes the first call. If you do not stage on time, you will start scratch. If the light is green GO. If the light is red DO NOT GO. Enter in order. We want to go green the first lap.

7. Starts and Re-starts Anyone hot lapping before racing will start in back. Race starts in turn 4. POLE CAR SETS THE PACE. (No Texas Starts, if you are caught you will be penalized 2 positions per car you passed at the next yellow flag. If there is no yellow flag then your penalty will be assessed at the end of the race) On the initial lap, if the first lap is not completed, you are allowed to change a tire only. If you can get back on the track before the race starts-you will be allowed to tag the back. (Just like a yellow.)

8. Black Flag If you are black-flagged for any reason, you must leave the racing surface immediately. Stopping to argue with the flagman or official will result in a $50.00 fine and each lap taken after will be an additional $25.00. The black flag will be given to any car for extreme rough driving or to any car deemed unsafe to race. If a crew chief wants his car black flagged off the track, he must go to the pit tower to report this.

9. Red Flag means STOP—there is a car and/or driver in danger. Please don’t stop too abruptly and cause a pile up.

   1. Under a red flag, you MAY work on your car. You must re-enter the track when told to do so.

   2. If you change a tire—you MUST go to the back of the pack at the re-start.

10. Yellow Flag means caution but keep moving. If you are off the racing surface, you won’t always get a yellow. So get back in the race. When lead car hits the cone, the green flag will come out. Do not pass other cars until you are past the cone. Officials will correct the line-up, so stay in position unless told to move. Lapped cars go to the back. Again NO Jump-Starts! Two spin out rule—the car that causes two yellows in the same event will be black-flagged. If you cause a yellow, you will tag. Even if it’s lap one or before the green flag. Do not get out of the car or you will be black-flagged. Our people will tell you when it is safe to race.

11. Protests All protests must be in writing, signed by the driver(s) protesting. Fee of $25.00 per driver must accompany the written protest when turned into the Pit Manager. This must be done within 15 minutes of the checkered flag. If car is found to be illegal, protester gets his $25.00 back. If car is legal, that driver gets the $25.00.

12. Rough Driving will not be tolerated. If you slip out of groove and someone comes under you, you may not drive back down on them. You slipped out of the groove, so hold your own line and race. If you are faster than the car in front of you, you need to pass them, not drive through them. If you inadvertently knock the car in front of you out of the groove or sideways, back off and allow them to regain their position. If it appears that you spun the car in front of you sideways to gain position, you will be black-flagged or you tag on the next yellow.

13. Unsportsmanlike Conduct of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes going to another drivers pit area after an incident on the track. You can tell him what a fantastic driver he/she is later, but not in the heat of the moment. Penalties or disqualification will result if you go into another pit area or cause any problems. Drivers will be held responsible for the conduct of pit crews or wife/significant other. There will be no cursing at the pay window or while in line. You will not abuse the pit steward, flagman or any other track official, or you will be ejected for the night and fined $50.00.

14. Track Officials/Tower Any situation arising that concerns a track official should see the Pit Steward/Manager. You, your pit crew, or family members are not allowed in the announcer’s tower. If you have questions, please wait till after the races to speak with any officials. A $50.00 fine will be assessed to the person or affiliated driver abusing this.

15. Rainout Policy There will be no refunds. Pit passes are good at the next race that your class races. Completion of heat races constitutes a show.

16. Driver Change must be reported to the Pit Steward prior to that particular race. Driver must start scratch if qualified to race. If not reported, driver and car will be disqualified for the evening.

17. Complaints are to be directed to your class officials FIRST. If they cannot give you an answer, they will contact a track official for a final decision.

18. Pits will close one hour after the last race. Winnings not picked up by that time will be returned to the track, so please get to the pay window in a timely manner. Gates will be locked and lights turned out.

19. Push Starts If you are unable to restart under your own power, you will go to the back of the field unless you are stopped by an official in which case you will be allowed a push start and will retain your position prior to being stopped. This goes for all classes. If you are aware of the fact that your car will not restart KEEP YOUR ENGINE RUNNING.

20. Fans If it wasn’t for the fans, we wouldn’t be here. Any driver, crew member, or track employee who is the instigator of abuse on a fan whether it’s verbally or physically will be ejected, fired, and fined $100.00. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

21. Young Drivers Any persons wishing to race and are under the age of 16 MUST go through a 50 hour orientation period and be signed off by track owners before being allowed to compete

22. ATV’s The use of ATV’s in the pits is a privilege. ATV’s are not allowed in the grandstand area UNLESS you are moving a car to show before the races. No showboating, No speeding (speed limit for ATV’s is 5 mph), No nonsense!!

Any changes or additions have been underlined.
