FLAG
The
race director is obligated to black flag any car, which is dragging, interfering

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:
-
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.
-
Track

car that is off the track surface and the marshal is unable or not
attempting to go for the car.
-
Possible
lap counter or track equipment failure.
-

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:
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.
