We will allow 1 restart for Crash/Self-spin on the 1st lap.
The driver causing the restart will be charged 1 incident and will race the rest of the race on a 1 incident and park it.
We will allow 1 restart per driver if they fail to load or fall out during the 1st lap.

On restarts the race leader must maintain pace speed but will start the race.
The leader must stay within 1.0 seconds of the pace car on the start or any restart of the race.

NO Games on the start or restarts of the race will be tolerated.

You will receive a Black Flag or position penalty for any of the following.
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.
There is NO attempting to pass on the low side before turn 1 on any Restart on any track except Super Speedways.
There is NO attempting to pass on the low side before the starting line on Super Speedways.
(Damaged cars please move low on the restarts)

If you pit with 1 to go and are more than 1.0 sec behind the field when it goes green you are not permitted to pass any cars until you exit turn 2.

If you cause an incident within 2 laps of the race start or any restart you will get a 1 incident and park it for the next race you compete in that series.
If you are already on a 1 incident and park it probation you will be parked the next week.

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 wait to 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 to 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.

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

With 10 or less laps to go and the yellow comes out you are allowed to race back to the line.

You are permitted to pass per game rules on any restart in the last 10 laps, you can pass on the low side.

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. You do not need to speed on pit road and pitting is your option. Please do NOT pass any lap down cars while doing your drive thru.

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

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 on the 2nd yellow flag lap, after you leave the pits line up next to the leader. Ignore your spotter when he tell you to let them by.
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.

Penalty's if you don't park yourself.
#1. 1st offence will result in you being parked the next week and 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.

If it can not be determined who caused the incident or no one will step up to claim it then both drivers that initiated the contact that brought out the caution must speed down pit road on the 2nd YELLOW flag lap and then lineup up at the END OF THE LONGEST LINE.
If you are caught not doing this during the race you will receive a black flag
