A ) WARM-UPS:
Competitors
shall use the warm-up period before the event to make their final
adjustments to their cars. Once the
event has
started, there shall be
no long delays due to any car having mechanical problems.
B ) STARTING ORDER:
1) The starting order on the scorers' sheet list all drivers in attendance, top to bottom, by:
a) Reverse order of the finish of the prior feature event in the division followed by:
b) Drivers who have points in the division, highest to lowest, who missed the prior feature followed by:
c) New drivers in the division.
2)
All races shall be run in rotation. After the initial segment, the
starting field shall rotate one lane towards the
outside. Drivers from the bottom
of the starting order and thereafter upwards on the list shall enter
the rotation on
lane one. The race shall be
completed when all competitors have run each designated lane.
C ) RACES
1) With
the exception of special events,the Sprint and Midget divisions shall
run 10 lap segments and the Dirt Champ
division 15
lap segments.
2) All segments shall have a 4 wreck limit.
3)Restarts
after a wreck shall be on the portion of the track where the
wreck occurred. The field will be realigned,
nose to tail, in the running order when the wreck
occurred with all cars out of their lanes going to the back of
the
field. During the final two laps
of each segment, however, the race will be under the TWO LAP RULE in
which
cars will not be realigned when
the power is turned off for a wreck except where a car has drifted past
another
still in its proper lanes.
Such a car will be
repositioned behind the first car it had passed in that manner.
4)
The TWO LAP RULE shall begin when all unlapped cars have crossed the
start/finish line for two laps to go in
the segment.
5) The segment shall be considered completed when all cars have finished the scheduled number of lanes.
D ) WRECKS / PIT STOPS
1)
Any car / driver that has caused the power to be shut off, either for a
week or stopping on the track during a
green flag lap, will be given a
wreck.
2) At no time may a driver make an adjustment to his car during a race except:
a) to fix a wire broken at the guide
b) when
his/her car exit the track during a wreck. Then, the driver shall have
1 minute to brush off the car's tires
and make any repairs that do not
require the car to be taken away from the track. After 1 minute the
race
will be restarted.
3)
Elementary tasks such as adjusting the guide brushes, removing a
weight, etc. that do not require more than
momentary attention may be done
by a turn marshal.
4)
No motor or gear changes may occur during a segment. Any car
blowing a motor or suffering extensive
damaged
due to a wreck will be considered to have wrecked out of that segment.
5)
Any car losing a part that remains on the track surface and is deemed
hazardous by the starter will cause the
power to be shut off. The
offending car will be charged with a wreck.
6) No
part of a car may drag upon the track or interfere with another car's
ability to complete. If a turn
marshal cannot remove the part, the driver must take
a pit stop to correct the problem. The driver will be given
1 minute and will be charged with
a wreck.
7)
If the Starter mistakenly or accidentally turns off the power, the race
will revert to the running order of the last
completed and the field will be restarted at the
start / finish line.
E ) OVERVIEW
1) Once
a race has officially started, it is the Race Director's responsibility
to insure the event is completed
without significant delays. Since
most participants have considerable drives to and from the track, it is
important
that the program is run as
efficiently as possible.
2)
All competitors are expected to perform duties such as turn
marshals,starter, scorer, etc. when they are not
racing.
3)Competitors
are strongly urged to pay attention to the scorer when
wrecks and finishing positions are called
for. All questions
concerning the scoring of a segment
must be rectified before the start of the next segment.
F ) POINTS
1) Drivers
not finishing a race or segment for any reason will have been
considered to have wrecked out. Drivers
not tacking the green flag in any race or segment
will receive no points for that portion of the event. Drivers
entering a
segment after the initial green flag will do so "on the bubble".
2)
Segment points are determined by subtracting the number of wrecks from
the points the driver earned for
his/her respective finish (
1st - 10 pts.,
2nd - 9,
3rd - 8,
4th - 7,
5th - 6 ).
3)
Race points shall be the total of each driver's segment points. The
driver with the highest race point total will
be designated as the winner of
the event, the second highest total will earn second place, etc.
4) Tie - breakers for the final positions shall be , in order:
a) wreck total
b) segment wins
c) segment wins without a wreck
d) second place finishes
e) second place finishes without a wreck
f) Third place finishes
g) etc.
f.)
THE SYSTEM SHALL BE APPLIED,AFTER USING POINT TOTALS, IF ALL
COMPETITORS
INVOLVED IN A TIE SHOULD REMAIN EVEN AFTER THE ABOVE
CRITERIA,THEN
THE
SYSTEM SHALL BE APPLIED TO THOSE
SEGMENTS ONLY IN WHICH
THE DRIVERS
SHARED THE
TRACK AT THE SAME TIME.
5) Event points: 1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 45 points
3rd place - 40 points
4th place - 35 points
5th place - 30 points
6th place - 28 points
7th place - 26 points
8th place - 24 points
9th place - 22 points
10th place - 20 points
11th place - 19 points, etc.
6)
Attendance points - each driver taking the green flag in a divisional
race will be given 5 points in addition to
his/her event points.
7) Points for missed events:
A driver missing a race will be given his/her point
total average after earning points in a minimum of three events.
Attendance points will not be used in figuring the
point average. A driver may receive his/her point average for a
missed race only once per season per division.
