Scheduling:

Scheduling may be subject to change.  Raceways will be notified immediately so that racers can be notified of any changes when at all possible.

 Lap Counter:

1.        The lap counter will be considered correct unless it can be proven otherwise.  If a major error occurs in the counting process that cannot be corrected, the race director may:

           a.        Assign responsible stewards to count laps or verify the counter.

           b.        Restart the segment.

           c.        Restart the race form the last possible point.

2.        For a major error in counting, the steps taken should preserve as much of the race as possible, while remaining as fair as possible.

3.        There will be NO ADDING or subtracting of laps due to drivers inability to control his car or marshaling error.

4.        If the car skids past or over the counter, the car goes back on where it stops AFTER the lap counter. 

Track Calls:

          g.        Too many cars off is NOT a track call.

2.        During the track call, there will be absolutely no work performed on the car by the driver.  The marshal can straighten out the braids and/or the body.  Pit helpers can help with     fixing the body and/or braid but cannot "FIX" the car.  Doing so will result in a 20 lap penalty.  A second infraction will result in a disqualification.  This includes work on the car or lane by pit helpers of the driver.

All drivers are required to use a lane change card in-between heats.
