NO MINOR RELEASE, NO ADMITTANCE, NO EXCEPTIONS!

*Any questions – call Janene Nelson at 641-342-3850; leave a message and phone #, if I miss your call. Race day calls, use the track number, 641-414-9104. You may be referred to another number for precise instructions.

Registration: All drivers must register at the pit gate and must have all paperwork completed before you will be allowed to compete. Others also must sign paperwork to be allowed in pits.

Line Up:  The order of events will be posted on the line up board. You are responsible to know when your event is and to be there on time. No one will come and get you. Be lined up in the staging area two races prior to the white flag on the track. If you are not there, the line up official has the option to place you at the tail.

Pit Spots: Pit Spots are first come, first serve.

Spin Rule: We will use the 1-spin rule in the heat race and B-Mains, and the 2-Spin rule in the feature. If you are stopped when the yellow or red flag is thrown you will be considered involved.

Tech inspection: All classes may go through tech weekly. If you are found illegal you will lose points and money for that night. All cars must pass a safety inspection and comply with the official’s decision on make/model, to be safe and equally competitive. Unobserved items escaping detection during inspection does not make them legal. Non-conformance to the rules will be called illegal. All permitted LEGAL exceptions to the rules will be noted by Clarke County Speedway on the entry blank.

Flags

Green Flag: When pulling on to the track the front row cars together, have the responsibility to bring the field of cars around at a moderate speed two by two, bumper to bumper. If this condition exists, the green flag will be displayed after coming out of turn four corner. Once we are    under green, there is a yellow or red on the first lap, there will be a heads up re-start with those cars stopped on the race track being disqualified.

Yellow Flag: When the yellow is displayed, immediately slow down and get into single file. The track officials will get you into proper position as given to them by the scorers. If the track official motions to you to split, make room. If the track official points at you, find the open hole. The yellow flag will be displayed when cars are dead on the track. Any car stopped on the track when the yellow is displayed will be disqualified. (We will use the 1-spin rule in the heat race and B-Mains, and the 2-Spin rule in the feature.) We will score the event until the ‘yellow flag light” is displayed. This means that if the leader takes the green flag, the lap counts and those cars passing under the green will be scored in that position. The remaining field of cars at the point when the yellow is displayed will revert back to the last completed lap. Lapped cars will be placed on the tail of the pack and regain one lap. You can regain only one lap per event.

Yellow Flag Restarts: Yellow flag restarts will be single file, bumper to bumper. There will be a cone out of turn four. You may not pass any cars tell you past the cone. If you pull out of line and pass other cars, you will be penalized two positions for pulling out and two positions for each car you pass. They will be given at the next caution, red flag, or end of race. The race will restart by green light or green flag, not when the leader picks up the pace.  

Red Flag: The red flag is displayed when another car has gone upside down or if the ambulance is needed. When you see red, STOP!!! There will be no pit persons allowed on the track for any repairs.

Black Flag: The black flag will be used for smoke, fluids, body parts and QUESTIONABLE DRIVING. It will be a judgment call from officials and flag man. You will not be scored from the point you have been black flagged. For the fellow racers safety, exit the track once you have been given the black flag.

Lay Over Flag: The lay over will be shown when the leaders are approaching. Don’t go high, don’t go low. Keep your car in a straight line. If you are racing someone, both of you need to figure out how to get single file for the leader to get around you.

Conduct: NO FIGHTING ALLOWED! Drivers are responsible for their crew. There are NO exceptions. First offense- 2 week suspension, Second offense- 1 year suspension. If any track official is physically touched or injured in a threatening manner, it is an automatic one year suspension.

NO RIDING ON CARS AT ALL TIMES: For the safety of all, riding on cars will not be tolerated. If you are caught having someone on your car. You will lose pay for that night.
