2. PUSH OFF: You are allowed one push-off per race, which constitutes your car being under its own power. If you stop on the track and need assistance to restart or hold up the race, you must go to the tail. Remain under idle until all track officials are off the racetrack. You will be told on raceceivers when to line up.
3. GREEN FLAG: When the green flag waves, that constitutes the start of the race and no alternates will be added. Alternates in the A-Mains need to be in the line up area. If all cars in the A-Main make the call and take the green flag, you will be told to return to your pit. You must take the green flag in the A-Main to receive any feature money and feature points.
4. STARTING A RACE: The entire field must complete one lap, excluding the car(s) causing the yellow or red. Car(s) involved in the yellow or red must go to the tail.
5. YELLOW FLAG: If you are considered part of a yellow or red flag situation you must go to the tail. If you are involved in any combination of two yellows or reds in any race, you are disqualified from that race. If a yellow flag is thrown for debris on the racetrack, the yellow flag will be for debris only. If you spin and the yellow is brought ou for you, you must go to the tail even if your car continues under its own power. If a yellow flag appears on the first lap, the line-up will be moved straight up for that row minus the cars involved. All cars involved in the yellow flag will then restart at the rear of the field. If you go to the work area, you will be lined up behind the car(s) involved in the yellow or red. If idling around under yellow and you stop and do not need any assistance restarting and do not hold up race you get your spot back. If stopped by an official and you do not hold up the race you get your spot back. If you need to stop for a safety reason you must stop by an official. No working on your car on the racetrack or you will be disqualified. If you lose a muffler during a race, you are disqualified from that race.
6. RED FLAG: Do not drive through the crash site. Once you have stopped on the racetrack, please keep your helmet on so you can receive a line up from the scoring tower. ALL RED FLAGS ARE CLOSED! No drivers or crew members allowed on the racetrack or that car can be disqualified. Drivers do not get out of your car unless for emergency situations. If the accident appears to be a long delay, an open red may be allowed. Officials will have you pushed to the turn 3 & 4 area of the racetrack depending on the location of accident. You may then do anything to your car except change a tire. If a tire is changed, you must go to the tail. If you need to change a spacer, please notify an official. If at anytime you go to the work area, you must go to the tail. If you go to the pits during an A-Main, you are done for that race. Once the accident has been cleaned up, please have your crew members leave the racetrack as soon as possible. You must not hold up restart or you must go to the tail. If a red flag appears on the first lap the line up will be moved straight up for that row minus the car(s) involved.
7. ORIGINAL STARTS: Front row will bring the field side by side to the orange cone at a moderate pace. If the start is called back, the front row car(s) that brought out the yellow will be given one warning. If the same car(s) repeat the offense that car(s) will be moved back to row 2. If any other cars move out of line to get a run or pass a car before the green flag has been waved, the yellow may come out ant that car will be moved back one row or that car will be penalized two positions per car passed on the next yellow or red flag, or at the end of the race. Once the green flag is waved the race is on for everyone!
8. RESTARTS: Form a single file line so officials can get you in proper running order. CARS WILL BE SCORED, UP UNTIL THE YELLOW OR RED FLAG IS THROWN, MUST HAVE THE LEADER AND ONE MORE CAR CROSS THE FINISH LINE FOR THAT LAP TO COUNT. ANY CARS CROSSING THE START FINISH LINE AFTER THAT WILL BE LINED UP FROM THE PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED GREEN FLAG LAP. All restarts are at the orange cone. If the leader accelerates before the orange cone and gains advantage, the yellow will come out and the leader will receive a warning. If the leader restarts too early again, the yellow will come out and the leader will be penalized two positions. Sprint Cars – All cars must stay single file through the cone on the front stretch. No gaps will be allowed as to make a run. If you pass a car, drive under the cone, or hit the cone you will be penalized two positions on the next yellow or red or at the end of the race. Modifieds, Super Stocks & Mini Stocks – Once line ups have been corrected, all restarts are double file. Leader has the choice of high or low, everyone else falls in line.
9. LAPPED CARS: Lapped cars will be placed at the tail of the field behind the last car on the lead lap.
10. WORKING ON YOUR CAR IN THE WORK AREA: If at anytime you go to the work area after the initial green flag (A-Mains ONLY), you may re-enter the race under yellow or red flag condition provided: you are on the lead lap, you must be ready to go when the one lap signal is given, you may be pushed at that time and fall in at your correct position. We will NOT wait on anyone. No grace laps are given except for a flat tire during your A-Main. You will be given two laps once your car reaches the work area. All work must be done in the work area! If you go to the pits you are finished for the race. Adding fuel in the work area is NOT ALLOWED, subject to disqualification. The work area will only be used for A-Mains! All crew members are required to stay in the designated work area only.
11. CHECKERED FLAG / FINISH: The race is complete once the flagman has displayed the checkered flag, and the leader crosses the finish line. If the yellow or red is displayed after the leader crosses the line under checkered, the remainder of the finishing order will be based on the previous completed lap, less any car(s) involved in the yellow or red.
