Interpretation and
implementation of these rules will be the responsibility of track
officials. Any situation not specifically covered in these rules
will be acted upon by the official or officials in charge, whose
decision will be final and binding on all participants. These rules
may be changed, modified, or deleted at any time for any reason or
for no reason by track officials. These rules shall not be
construed in any manner as to create a contract by and between the
competitors and the race track.
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET

ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOULD KEEP THE
FOLLOWING IN MIND: IF THE RULES DON'T SAY YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN'T.
ASK FIRST.
GENERAL RULES
A. CONDUCT
1. The track Is
privately owned. Your right to participate can be revoked at any
time for violation of any rule.
2. The conduct of the
driver, crew members and car owner is the responsibility of, and a
reflection on, the driver. Conduct detrimental to the sport will
not be tolerated, and all participants are expected to conduct
themselves accordingly.
3. Drivers will not be
permitted to stop on the track to question the flagman or any track
official. Any driver doing so will be subject to disqualification
for the remainder of the program.
4. The flagstand,
infield, scoring tower, and announcer's position are OFF LIMITS to
all persons other than officials without express permission of the
director of competition. Violation of this rule will subject the
car represented by the guilty party to disqualification.
5. Fighting will not be
tolerated. All incidents will be referred to the appropriate law
enforcement agency and appropriate penalties will be assessed by
officials.
6. Any unlawful
activity will be reported to appropriate law enforcement agency and
appropriate penalties will be assessed by track officials.
7. No alcohol, drugs,
or weapons will be permitted on speedway property.
8. Anyone entering the
pits must purchase a pit pass and sign a release to enter pit area.
Employees, vendors, and those with season pit passes or
complimentary pit passes must also sign release. Purchase of a pit
pass permits a driver to participate in only one (1) series or
series for that event. Participation in any other series or series
will require purchase of a separate pit pass at the regular rate of
$25 for each additional series or series.
9. All drivers must
register their full name, social security number, address, phone
number, car number and class with track officials before racing.
Each driver must complete and execute a W-9 form and biographical
form each season.
B. GENERAL
1. Drivers MUST be
registered to participate in point awards at end of season. Pit
pass fee will be $25 per person per event.
2. If a series has a
season sponsor, participating cars must display a decal in the
designated position if provided by the sponsor or track.
3. All participants
must adhere to track insurance regulations. Drivers in all series
or series are subject to approval by track officials. Drivers MUST
be 16 years of age to compete in the Late Model Series/Series, with
younger drivers eligible subject to approval by track officials.
Anyone under 18 competing in any series or series must have parental
consent form on file with the track. The track management reserves
the right to approve or disapprove any driver, regardless of age,
depending on skill level demonstrated.
4. A single car may not
compete in more than one class per night.
5. Only race team
service vehicles will be permitted in the pit area without express
permission from the director of competition.
6. The number of cars
starting the feature race in any series or series will be subject to
the track's discretion. A consolation race may be presented to fill
the final spots in a feature race. Track management reserves the
right to line up the start of any race in any manner or fashion to
promote competition.
7. After a car has been
qualified it cannot be requalified for any reason. Any driver
changes must be reported to track officials, and the change will
result in that car starting from the rear in the consolation race.
If there is no consolation race, the car will start on the tail of
the feature. Failure to report driver changes will subject the car
to disqualification for the night, with other penalties possible at
the discretion of track management.
8. Rough driving will
not be tolerated. Cars may be sent to the rear of the field even
though neither car has spun or has brought out the caution flag.
Track officials’ judgment will prevail in all cases.
9. In the event of a
caution flag period, cars will NOT race back to the caution flag.
If the white flag has been displayed to the leader, cars will race
back to the checkered at the discretion of the flagman. Deliberate
spinning or otherwise damaging of a competitor on the final lap in
such situations will result in the offending car being placed at the
rear of the lead lap cars in the final finishing order and the
offended car being awarded the position in which it was placed prior
to the incident. Officials' judgment will prevail in such cases.
10. For restarts
following a caution flag, the field will be lined up in double file
according to the running order of the last green flag lap except for
cars directly involved in the incident according to officials'
decisions, which will go to the rear. Officials’ decisions will
prevail in regard to incidents in which a competitor is deliberately
spun or damaged by another, or in which a car takes action to avoid
the incident. Cars which have been lapped will be placed at the
rear of the restart field according to their running position.
11. If any car is unable
to make the starting lineup, each row of the field will move
directly up. Rows will not be criss-crossed.
12. The pole sitter will
determine the pace of the start at the discretion and direction of
the starter/flagman, and the lead car on restarts will determine the
pace of the restart. The starter/flagman will have discretion over
this area and the authority to direct the pole sitter if necessary.
13. All starts and restarts
will take place on display of the green flag by the flagman,
regardless of the cars’ positions on the track. No passing will be
allowed on any start or restart until the green flag has been
displayed.
14. The red flag means
STOP. Drivers must slow down as quickly as safely possible and
stop. The driver must remain in the car under red flag conditions.
In conditions of extreme heat, drivers may be given verbal
permission by track officials to exit the car. However, no
adjustments or repairs may be made to the car with hands, tools, or
by any other means. Drivers who exit their car without express
permission from track officials, and cars on which any work is
performed, will be subject to immediate disqualification from that
race, and if disqualified will receive no money for that particular
race. Any car which passes the scene of the accident which caused
the red flag condition after having already passed under the red
flag will be disqualified for the remainder of that particular
race. In the event of an accident too close to the start/finish
line to allow cars to stop in time, officials’ judgment as to intent
will apply.
15. Cars experiencing
flat tires must go to the infield or pit area immediately, whichever
is quicker.
16. Any car which goes to
the pit area during a race, whether that race has been officially
started or not, may not be allowed back on the track during that
race without approval by track officials. Cars which go to the
infield in such circumstances may return to the track at the
discretion of track officials.
17. Cars which leave the
track under red flag conditions, whether by wrecker or under their
own power, and do not return, will be scored for the finish
according to their last completed green flag lap.
18. When the layover flag
is displayed, the car to which it is displayed must move to the
outside of the track unless other instructions are given to drivers
prior to the event. If the layover flag or the black flag is
ignored consistently, the car to which it is displayed will not be
credited with remaining laps.
19. Any race may be
declared officially complete at officials' discretion if the halfway
point has been reached, or if an inordinate time delay is expected
prior to the track being ready for competition.
20. Cars which do not
report to the lineup on time will go to the rear if the field has
started to move, unless ordered to take their original starting
position by track officials.
21. The driver is
responsible for having the car in line for practice, qualifications
and racing. If a car can not be qualified with its series, it will
start in the rear of the feature or, if a consolation race is
necessary, at the rear of the consolation race.
22. Track management
shall designate who shall have exclusive rights to sell racing fuel,
tires, and race equipment.
23. All weight will be
determined by track scales.
24. No traction control
devices of any kind will be permitted in any series.
25. Track management
reserves the right to allow or deny any car or any driver from
participating.
26. Track management
reserves the right to have any car inspected at any time. Any car
found illegal will be disqualified for the night and will forfeit
all money and points won for the night. Failure to report for
inspection when directed to do so or when required to do so will be
considered an admission of guilt and will result in
disqualification.
27. All drivers appearing
for competition for any given event for which points are to be
awarded will be awarded points provided they are driving a
registered car. Those not able to start their point-awarding race
may be awarded last place points for that event. If more than one
driver is involved, points for the number of positions involved will
be determined by previous point standings. In the event of a tie in
previous point standings, the points for the positions involved will
be pooled and split between the drivers involved.
28. In order to qualify
for starting money and points, a driver must be participating in the
race program. In situations where cars are legitimately present and
making an attempt to qualify, officials' decisions will prevail.
