TRACK PROCEDURES AND INSPECTIONS
All cars are subject to inspection at anytime.
It is the responsibility of the driver, car owner and mechanic to have their car in a safe racing condition. All safety equipment must be in the car at time of tech inspection.
1. All classes are required to pass their
car through safety/tech for each event prior to driving on the racetrack. The
safety/tech pads are located in the center of the pits. Safety/tech officials
will normally begin their procedures two hours prior to race time. Please be
considerate with track officials and being late interrupts their race program preparation time.
2. Packing the track will be done at the discretion of the Flagman.
Drivers must wear appropriate racing attire while packing the track. Any car refusing to pack the track shall be placed at
the back of the pack for all events for that race night. All cars must complete
five (5) laps of packing. The procedure for wheel packing will be single file, no spinning tires and top to bottom formation.
3. Hot lapping occurs after wheel packing and is optional. Keep in mind that hitting other cars while hot lapping is considered a sign of poor driving skills and
is held in extremely bad taste. Hot laps shall be permitted by class. Pit crew
are allowed to hot lap vehicles provided they have a pit pass, appropriate racing attire required. Hot laps will be made at
the discretion of the Flagman depending on the condition of the track.
4. A Tech Inspection Sheet will be used. If your car does not meet technical rules, you will be issued a repair citation. You will be allowed a grace race that night for no money or points.
You must start scratch. If the safety equipment does not pass tech, it will not race until repaired/replaced. All citations must be inspected and cleared prior to next tech race inspection.
It is the driver's responsibility to clear citations with tech. Outstanding citations is cause for a vehicle to fail tech inspection.
5. If a car has been cleared for race day, any driver may drive that
car as long as he starts the race in that car. If you change drivers in the main event of the racing night, the car will start
scratch. A driver may drive in more than one (1) class. You must register and pay for both cars when signing in at the pit
gate.
6. All drivers must attend the driver’s meeting prior to
racing in that days events. Pit crews are also encouraged to attend. Roll call will be taken prior to meeting starting. If a driver
is not present, he will be placed in the back of the field for all heats, dashes and main events for that night. NO EXCUSES/EXCEPTIONS. ( IF YOU ARRIVE AT THE TRACK LATE,
AND MISS THE MEETING, YOU WILL START ALL EVENTS AT THE BACK OF THE PACK.)
7. Drivers must be aware of the track events and what class is
next to race. When called to stage, all cars must do so immediately. If you are late to the line-up or cannot start your car under its own power, you must start at the rear
of the field. If you show up late and your position has been filled, and the
Pit Stewart feels you should retain your position, it will be corrected. Arguing
with the Pit Stewart will not be tolerated and could be subject to disqualification for that event. All drivers will be treated equally regardless of their class of racing.
Pit crews are not allowed on the track entrance ramp.
8. While most events consist of heat races, dashes and feature events,
management reserves the right to remove dashes from the program as required to keep the program length acceptable. In particular, drivers should check to ensure if they qualified for a dash and listen for the call to line
up for that event. Quite frequently a lead driver will bow out of the dash making
a third or fourth place heat finisher eligible to run the race.
9. Upon entering the racing surface, you will remain lined up in the
order of the start of the race. When
cars are entering the track surface, the pole position car will maintain a nice even speed not fast, but not slow. If the track has just been watered, the flagger will motion the drivers to speed up and work it in. Do not do so until motioned to. The flagger
will give the signal to line up to original positions and will most of the time but not always give the one to go.
10. Any driver who delays the start or restart of any event will be
sent to the back of the pack. No stopping on the track will be allowed. Do not stop on the track to protest a call or ask questions to a track official. Stopping will result in being disqualified for that event.
11. OUTLAW restarts are used at this track. An outlaw re-start
is when the first position goes out by itself, second position goes to the inside behind the leader and third position will
move to the outside behind the leader and so forth all the way back through the field.
The leader can pick a high or low line. You cannot pull along side or
pass the leader until after the green flag has waved.
12. Pay attention to the track lights in turns 1, 2, 3, and 4. All lights out, be prepared for the start/re-start of the race.
13. If a driver jumps a start, the race will go green and then back to yellow. The driver will be sent to the back of the pack for the next re-start.
14. A race will only receive one complete restart. All drivers starting a race have to exit two turn on the first lap for a race to be considered an official
start. However, the flagger may call for a re-start any time during the first
lap. No re-starts will take place after all cars in that event have completed
one lap. After a race has used its restart, the next start will be the outlaw
restart.
15. This track doesn't race to the YELLOW flag. When the yellow
comes out, get in a single file line behind the car in front of you. Any driver
caught trying to take advantage of the yellow flag by moving up positions, will be placed in the back of the pack. Remain in a single file line while scorekeepers confirm lineup is correct or track officials correct the
lineup. The flagger will signal you to cross up. All cars will line up in the
OUTLAW restart position. OUTLAW
restart is when the first position goes out by itself, second position goes to the inside behind the leader and third position
will move to the outside behind the leader and so forth all the way back through the field.
16. If caught in a wreck
on the track, stay in your vehicle unless it’s on fire. If you are not
injured, lower your window net to show rescue crew that you are ok. This will
help keep the number of personnel entering the track to a minimum. This track
will go yellow for any driver that hits the wall, or a multi-car wreck. All drivers
must be aware that track officials will be coming to your aid. Do not drive away
in a manner that will endanger rescue crews. All vehicles involved will be re-started
at the back of the pack.
17. If a red flag is displayed, come to a stop as soon as possible and shut down your engine. Do not re-start you engine or move your car until the yellow flag is displayed. Do not leave the track under a red flag unless directed by a track official. Then do so very slowly and proceed to the tech pad. You must
wait on the tech pad until the track is under yellow. Your pit crew can access
the damage to your vehicle, however no work can be done until the track is under yellow.
If repairs are made, you will be disqualified and cannot return to the track.
Remain in your car with all your safety gear on.
18. Do not leave the track without your car unless you are instructed to go with the safety
crew. Leaving your car is an automatic disqualification from that event.
19. The
mechanical black flag means you have a mechanical problem with your car. Excessive
smoke, flat tire or loose body parts, etc. Driver must leave the track immediately. After the problem is fixed, the driver may return to the track. If this flag is not adhered to, the driver will be given the black flag and may not finish the race.
20. If
you receive the BLACK flag, you are to leave the track right away and are not allowed to return for that event. If you do not leave the track, a yellow will be thrown, if you still do not leave a red flag will be thrown
and you may be towed off the track. You will be subject to discipline as determined
by the LARA board.
21. If
a driver causes two yellow flag conditions, that driver could be black flagged for that event.
A self-invoked spinout to avoid an accident is not considered a spinout under this rule. However, it is considered a part of the yellow condition and you must go to the back of the line up for
the restart of the race.
22. All
vehicles entering the track are considered official entries for that event. Any
car leaving the track for any reason will start at the back of the lineup regardless if the race has started or not. A driver does not have to take the initial green flag to enter a race.
23. A driver leaving the track under yellow flag
will be given two (2) courtesy laps to return to the event. The courtesy laps
will start counting when the last car leaves the track. Once the lineup is correct
and the flagger has crossed the cars up for a re-start, any car leaving at the time will not receive the two courtesy laps.
24. At the end of your race, take one cool down
lap and then leave the track so the next race can start. Anyone taking more than
one cool down lap could receive the black flag for that event. (Celebration lap
with the checker flag doesn't count.)
25. Heat race line up’s are by pill draw. Main event line up’s are 1st and 2nd in points and the
winner of the last main event are in the back. If you win a main event and miss
a race, when you race again you will start in the back.
26. Rookie
drivers must identify their cars. All rookie drivers will display a red
painted sheet metal square the size of a normal license plate mounted securely on the rear window deck facing aft of the vehicle. This must be displayed for the entire first season.
27. A driver whose car is destroyed may
race another car, with the same number, and keep the previous points. If a car is bought or sold to another driver the points
for the car will be reset to zero.
POST MAIN EVENT INSPECTIONS: I.M.C.A. modified’s must comply with all
I.M.C.A. modified rules and regulations per I.M.C.A. All non-sanctioned divisions are required to have the top 4 cars go DIRECTLY
to tech area when leaving the racetrack. Failure to go directly to tech area is an automatic disqualification. Only driver
and car are allowed in tech area. One crewmember can be standing by for tech
assist if required. Tech inspector will summon crewmember if required.
If track officials determine after the main event that a vehicle in tech does not meet applicable specifications, then officials
has the right to impose a penalty which may result in disqualification and loss of that events points and prize money.
PROTESTS
No protest of any type will be allowed after prize money has been
paid.
1. A procedural or scoring protest must be in writing and filed with
a track official within 30 minutes after their event is completed. The protest
must be specific in alleged violation to determine whether protest is allowed or rejected.
One item per protest, per event only. All protests will be filed individually
and must be accompanied with a $30 cash deposit. $10 of the deposit will be retained
by the track for administration and will not be refunded, regardless of the outcome of the protest. If item being protested is found legal, the entire deposit will be forfeited. If found illegal, $20 of the deposit will be refunded to the protester.
2. Technical/mechanical protests
must be presented in writing to the Director of Racing, (DOR) along with a $200 protest fee (cash only), no later than 30
minutes after the conclusion of the Main Event in which the protested car is competing. Only drivers competing in their class
may protest cars within that class (i.e. a driver is Pro Stock may not protest a Hobby Stock, etc.). The protest document
will describe specifically and fully what is being protested. The DOR, in conjunction with the Technical Inspectors, and LARA
Board members may defer the teardown to minimize the damage done from dirt at the racetrack. However, steps will be taken
to ensure that the evidence is not destroyed or altered. In all cases the inspection will take place before the protested
car is allowed to compete again. Protested cars found to be within the prescribed limits will result in the presentation of
the protest fee to the owner of the car being protested. If the car being protested is found to be illegal, the car and driver
will be disqualified for that nights events and suffer the loss of all points and money earned. Driver will also be awarded an additional fine, additional loss of drivers points and possible race suspensions

fines are paid. The LARA board will assist the DOR and the Technical Inspector in interpreting the rules applicable to the
protest. A driver may not protest more than one car
per event, and may not protest the same driver more than once per race season. Drivers
