Drivers# List

It is mandatory that all drivers be in team speak and have a working microphone.

We allow limited Team Speak during the Race. If a director says to be Quiet or No more Team Speak you will be parked if you continue to talk.

Absolutely NO use of Team Speak or Text chat during qualifying.
You will receive a 25pt penalty and a $10,000 fine for each time you break this rule.

Entering & leaving Pits: Unless stated otherwise in the drivers meeting you may enter and exit the pits per game rules.

We will allow 1 restart for Crash/Self-spin on the 1st lap. The driver causing the restart will receive an incident for it.
We will allow 1 restart per driver if they fail to load or fall out during the 1st lap.

NO games on the start/restarts of the race will be tolerated.
You will receive a Black Flag or points penalty if you do any of the following.

ALL DRIVERS GO ON the GREEN FLAG ONLY! THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO ANTICIPATING THE START, NO jumping the start!!!

You May NOT lag back on the field, break check the field or jump the start as the leader and have to suddenly slow to avoid a black flag.

The leader must stay within 1.0 seconds of the pace car on the start or any restart of the race.

If you pit with 1 to go and are more than 0.5 sec behind the field when it goes green you are not permitted to pass any cars until you exit turn 2.

If a restart occurs with 10 or less laps to go all cars 1 or more laps down must do a drive thru on the 2nd yellow flag lap and then line-up behind the cars on the lead lap.

It is permissible to pass on the on the Start/Restart per game rules but please do so with caution.

When the caution comes out, HOLD YOUR LINE and RACE AT A STEADY SPEED back to the line. What this means is, don't let off the throttle all the way, and don't try to pass the person in front of you. Hold your position and slow in turns 1 and 2, not the START/FINISH LINE. With 10 or less laps to go, and the yellow comes out, you are allowed to race back to the line.

If you are involved in the wreck and are sitting backwards on the track DO NOT turn around in front of the field, wait for the field to pass you and then safely turn around. If you try turn around in front of the field and someone hits you, hits another car or hits the wall to avoid you, you WILL be charged an incident for this.If

Causing a wreck under caution will result in a penalty. i.e. Black Flag and/or being PARKED.

LUCKY DOG:
Lucky Dog is given to the driver 1 lap down closest behind the race leader, if no cars are 1 lap down it will be given by running order.
If you receive the lucky dog pit when you normally would, after you leave the pits line up next to the leader, when you here your spotter say 1 to go pass the pace car, go around the track and line up at the end of the longest line, when the race goes green the race director will clear your black flag.
If you fail to line up at the end of longest line we will NOT clear your black flag and you will have to do a green flag stop and go to clear it yourself.

If a caution comes out with 10 or less laps to go there will be NO lucky dog.

We have a 2 Incident and park it Rule. As we are all adults here you are expected to do this on your own. Each driver will be allowed 1 free self spin per race. Your 1st self spin will not count as an incident during the race but will count on the incident log.

Penalty's if you don't park yourself.
#1. 1st offence will result in you having to run the rest of the season in that series with a 1 Incident and park it penalty. If there is less than 3 races left in the season this penalty will continue the 1st 3 races the next season.
#2. 2nd offence in a season in any series will result in the same penalty as #1 except this will be in all RTR Nascar series.
