The CFM Link is posted at the bottom of this page.
We have done this in an effort to get all drivers to occasionally browse thru these rules.

You must be 18 yrs old or older to race in this league.
We do allow some drivers under 18 to race here so see Tom Bauman in TS if you are under 18.

ALL DRIVERS MUST USE THE SAME NAME IN THE GAME AS THEY HAVE IN THE CFM & at OLR.

NR2003 Player Info:
Drivers will use their CFM name and place their full name in the last name field within the game.
Leave the first name field blank.
Your Sierra login name must match your Player Info name or you will not be scored.
If you do not wish to use your real name contact Terry or Tom Bauman in TS and we will work with you.

Do NOT change your name mid season or you will be scored as 2 drivers. We do NOT fix points for name changes.

We DO NOT clear Black Flags for any reason. You got it take care of it, listen to your spotter.
Exceptions to this are wrecks on a restart and a driver getting bf because another driver wouldn't/couldn't pass them on a restart.
If we clear a black flag and it was legitimately yours, you will be penalized -1 lap in the final race results.

Absolutely NO profanity, raciest remarks, flaming or making fun of other drivers in your binds.

Any race that is concluded no matter what problems occurred during the race will be scored.

Once the server is reset for the drivers meeting Do NOT Manually Disconnect from the server

There is NO non race related chat on TS the 1st and last Yellow flag laps.

If you continuously break this rule you may receive a suspension.

The Race director will hold the drivers meeting at the scheduled time.
Then announce to all drivers there will be a 10 minute happy hour after the drivers meeting.
When the 10 minutes are up we will go to Qualifying.
If the late driver is not in the server by the end of Qualifying we are sorry but we will go to Race.

You will only be allowed 1 sub driver per season or segment and only if your in the top 10 in points.
There will be NO subs allowed in any Chase.
There are NO subs allowed the 1st two and last 2 weeks of any Season or segment.
All subs must drive the car# of the driver they are subbing for.
No Driver in the top 10 in points is permitted to sub for another driver in that series.

This is a general Idea of passing zones for short tracks and speedways.
These zones are for when the outside car starts to turn into the corner, not when the contact is made.

SuperSpeedways
SuperSpeedways have distinct racing lanes. When changing lanes you must be completely clear of the car in that lane you move to. This is considered the bumper rule..If your not clear of there bumper it's your incident.

Incident Rules:

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 or DQ'ed if it's last race of the season.
#2. 2nd 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.
#3. 3rd offence in a season and you will be suspended from all RTR events the rest of the season. If there is less than 3 weeks left in the season you will be suspended for the 1st 3 weeks of the following season.

1st Incident
You must be at the End of Longest Line (eoll) on the restart and must be no more than 3 cars from the end of the line on the restart.

2nd Incident
You are parked for the night.

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 be at the END OF THE LONGEST LINE on the restart.

If you are caught not serving your EOLL during the race you will receive a black flag.
If when the replay is reviewed we find that you failed to serve your EOLL penalty you will receive a -1 lap penalty and be scored behind all the cars on that lap.

Incident Reviews: If your not sure or just won't own up to an incident and ask a Director/Admin to review it and it is found to be your 2nd incident you will receive the following penalty's.

If this occurs the last race of the season you will be DQ'ed and receive NO points for that race.

Incident definition: Any action by you that results in the Yellow flag coming out whether it be a self spin, mechanical failure or contact with another car.

*Incident Point System*
In conjunction with our 2 incident and park it rule we also have a 4 incident point system. This is quite simple, if you reach 4 or more points you are parked for at least 1 race. The lowest points you can have is "0"

Anyone caught intentionally passing for position under yellow will receive a black flag or a -1 lap penalty.
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 and receive a black flag.

If you receive the lucky dog pit on the 2nd yellow flag lap, after you leave the pits line up next to the race leader. Ignore your spotter when he tells you to let them by.
