Race Day Procedures
In order to provide continuity to the series racers, all races will run under this format. The running order will be Novice Group 10, Senior Group 10, 4.5” NASCAR, Outlaw and GTP.
No refunds unless arrangements are made ahead of time. Any changes to this order must be made known by a race flier one month in advance of the race. The raceway will open no later than 7:00 AM. There will be a driver's meeting at 7:45 AM to explain what will be taking place that day if the race director feels it is necessary.
All races will be Round Robin Mains with randomly assigned starting positions. For 15 or less entries, there will be one Round Robin main event. 16 entries and up will be divided into multiple mains events near even entries (eg.24 entries will be two 12-person mains). The highest lap total and sections wins. All ties of laps and sections will result in a “Tie” with payout and points being split evenly between those drivers.
Mains for theNovice Group 10, Senior Group 10 and the 4.5” Stockcars will be 3 minutes on and 2 minutes off. The Outlaw and GTP classes will be 4 minutes on and 2 minutes off.

Corner Marshalling • A marshal's number one priority is putting deslotted cars back in their correct slot
• You must corner marshal when called upon, even if you feel it is not 'your turn'
• Failure to marshal when called shall result in a 5-lap penalty for each heat and possible disqualification from the future series races. This penalty will be imposed when the race director feels it is the best time:
Next race, next month, whenever
• A mutually agreeable substitute marshal may take your place, but you must notify the race director
• Corner marshals may not leave their positions to work on someone else’s car unless they get a substitute before they leave. Failure to do so will result in a 5-lap penalty for the person whose car you are working on
• Marshals should only make minor, immediate repairs to cars while at their positions (fix braid, uncrumple body, etc.). If the work on the car is serious enough to impair a marshal's ability to do his or her job, the car must be given to the driver or his/her pit crew
• Volunteering to marshal when you are not required does not excuse you from marshaling when you are required
• If you are a 'sit out' driver, your car must be impounded and you must corner marshal if your race is a round robin |
Lane Change Cards • Lane change markers must be used any time a car is removed from the track during a lane change
• The penalty for the first offense is the car will be placed at the farthest point from the lap counter
• A second offense will result in a 5-lap penalty
• A third offense will result in disqualification
Lane change markers can be no smaller than a credit card |
Awards & Intermissions • Immediately after the end of post race inspection, the awards ceremony will take place and racers will make themselves available for photos
• There will be a 30-minute intermission between classes. |
