event before entering the track, or pit steward is empowered to
place the car tailback or disqualify.
FLAGMAN HAS COMPLETE AUTHORITY DURING THE
RACE!!!
The pole car should start the race, however
this will be done at a reasonable speed. It does not give them the
right to keep the pace so slow that the cars behind are loaded up
and about to kill their engines. Flagman may give you the pick up
speed signal. If this signal is disregarded, the Flagman may start
the race at any time OR put the car in the rear. This includes
single file restarts. It is up to the two lead cars to set an even
pace so that the race is started evenly. If this cannot be done in
the first two attempts because one car or the other attempts to get
a jump of bog down the other cars, the Flagman, at his discretion,
may put one or both cars to the rear.
ANY DISPUTES OR PROTESTS MUST GO THROUGH THE
PIT STEWARD OR OFFICIAL. IT MUST BE DONE WITHIN 10 MINUTES AFTER
POSTING THE FINISH. ONLY THE CAR OWNER OR DRIVER WILL BE ALLOWED TO
PROTEST, NO EXCEPTIONS!

unsportsmanlike behavior, including stopping on the race track to
argue or protest will be suspended for the length of time set forth
by Management and/or be subjected to a fine that will be put into a
points fund. Fighting will get you a ride to jail PLUS a suspension
from the track. The officers on duty are given the right by
Management and state to enforce the rules and regulations as well as
county, state, and federal laws. THIS RULE WILL BE STRICTLY
ENFORCED!
Absolutely no race cars, tow trucks, or pit
crews in the infield unless directed by Management or an official.
If you violate this rule and are caught, you will be disqualified
and lose all points and money that night.
Pit crews MUST stay in the pit area unless
directed otherwise by an official. If a car is anywhere else (track

when one is called, any driver that does not attend the meeting
forfeits any protest or discussion rights for that night.
It is compulsory for ALL PERSONS who enter the
pit area or spectator area to sign the Release and Waiver of
Liability and Indemnity Agreement. If you have not signed this form
and are injured, you will not be covered by the tracks insurance.
NO EXCEPTIONS! We assume that you have read this form when you sign
it. All items (including tools, tow vehicles, race cars, etc.) are
taken into the pit area at the owner’s risk and are not covered by
the tracks insurance. Track insurance is secondary to your
insurance.
Scoring officials will only discuss
procedures, finishes, and points with the competing driver a
particular race. This simply means keep out of the scoring area,
office and Flagman’s area if you have not driven in the race. The
officials have the authority to disqualify a car even after the race
if his/her family members, fans, owner, or pit crew cause problems
for them.
The officials will gladly discuss anything
with the driver only.
All cars in which weight, cubic inches, tires,
carburetor or inspection rules are applied, plus any car questioned

will be thoroughly checked after the race(s). Harassment of the pit
stewards will not be tolerated. Such action will result in
suspension. When teching a car, no one from another car will be
allowed in the teching area.
Special events may be governed by different
rules. If so, amendments will be given on flyers for the event
and/or at the drivers meeting.
No two way radios will be allowed.

the race is officially over when the checkered flag falls. All cars
