Sitout racers are not allowed to work on their car during the sit-out heats, except during the lane change segments exiting and entering their heats. Cars must remain in tech at all other times. Violations will not be tolerated and are subject to a warning on first offense, 5-lap penalty on second offense and disqualification on the third offense.

GLUE

No glue will be allowed on track. The track officials will spray glue the corners and make sure the track has sufficient traction.

BLACK FLAG

The race director is obligated to black flag any car, which is dragging, interfering with other cars or continuously de-slotting due to mechanical problems(not driver error). Upon being black flagged, the driver must bring the car in for repairs immediately. If the problem is not corrected, the black flag rule may be enforced again as required.

TRACK CALLS

Race Directors are allowed to turn off the track power if:

  1. Prevent a "rider" from hitting the dead-man wall or keep it from going through the lap counter on the wrong lane. Other track calls are at the discretion of the race director.
  2. Track braid up.
  3. Power failure (on lane or all). Failure determination is made first on car via nearby power supply then controller.
  4. Possible debris in slot.
  5. A car that is off the track surface and the marshal is unable or not attempting to go for the car.
  6. Possible lap counter or track equipment failure.
  7. Poor, inconsistent, or absent turn marshaling.

You are only allowed to flatten your braid if your car either caused the track call or was de-slotted due to the track call and no marshal is in the area of the track to retrieve immediately after the driver returns to the control panel.

During a track call, you are not allowed to lay the controller on the track. Controllers may be laid on the driver's panel or hooked in a manner not to impede the progress of the race.

LAP COUNTER

The lap counter will be considered correct unless it can be proved otherwise. The counter should be corrected if necessary (as when a car crosses in the wrong lane). If a major error occurs in the counting process that cannot be corrected, the race director may:

  • Restart the segment
  • Add and subtract mutually agreed laps as established by race officials and drivers.
  • Restart the race from the latest possible point.

Marshaling


Substitute marshals must be acceptable to the race director and drivers. Good racing is not possible without good marshals. Every racer is expected to do their part both before and after racing is necessary. YOU MUST MARSHAL ATLEAST 1 RACE TO RECEIVE ANY PAY AT THE END OF THE NIGHT. Marshals should make every effort to be at their turns at the beginning of each heat. The race director is responsible for insuring that turn marshals are doing an adequate job, enforcing compliances and finding replacement marshals if necessary.
