All cars must weigh in immediately following their races as directed. Any detour, redirection, mud puddle meandering, may result in disqualification or penalty.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0The top 3 finishers must scale immediately after victory lane presentations.
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0Any detour to the scale, may result in loss of finish position or time. Should any car stop on the way to the scales and be touched by anyone other than a race official and\/or the driver may be disqualified. Any car not meeting the minimum weight, after the designated event will lose its time, and\/or finishing position from that event.
\nd.<\/strong>\u00a0The scales used for the event, provided by the series or the track, will be considered the official scales for the event.
\ne.<\/strong>\u00a0Scales will be available for any team to verify its car weight as determined by the official scales for that event.
\nf.<\/strong>\u00a0The number of cars to be scaled nightly will be announced at the drivers meeting, on the pit board and\/or instructed via the driver\u2019s one-way radio.
\ng.<\/strong>\u00a0At the scales, the car must present themselves directly on to the scales. The figure shown is the official weight for that car.
\nh.<\/strong>\u00a0Officials will allow a car to re-scale two times by pulling off scale and pulling back on. Reading of the final attempt will become the entered weight.
\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0If, at the scales, the car fails to meet the minimum weight, the following penalties apply:<\/p>\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0Qualifying: The car forfeits the earned qualifying and must start last in a heat race.

At no time should a driver and\/or crew member approach any portion of the racing surface or another moving vehicle.
\nf.<\/strong>\u00a0If a car\/driver switch is made, for any reason, that car\/driver must start at the rear of the next segment of the racing program in which that car\/driver has qualified for.<\/p>\nF.<\/strong>\u00a0Entry and Pill Draw<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0All drivers and\/or teams entered in any event must draw for a position in qualifying order at the designated location. The drivers and\/or teams are responsible for their own pill draw. Only one (1) car may be entered per driver in any event.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0All pills will be drawn prior to the drivers meeting. If a driver and\/or team entered and present at the event does not draw, that team will be placed at the end of the qualifying order. In the event that there is no qualifying, then the driver and\/or team will start at the rear of their specified qualifying race.
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0All participants shall be DIRTcar Members in good standing to participate in any event draw.<\/p>\nG.<\/strong>\u00a0Hot Laps<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0All entered cars will hot lap by the qualifying order.

\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0Qualifying may be split into two or more separate qualifying groups based on car count.\u00a0 Regardless of the situation, a car must qualify within its overall assigned group.
\nd.<\/strong> Qualifying will take place in the order of the pill draw, staggered into groups. Drivers will be required to qualify within their overall group in order to get a qualifying time.
\ne.<\/strong>\u00a0If the grace period is missed the late car will take its qualifying at the end of the scheduled lineup and receive only one qualifying lap. The best a late car can qualify is no higher than the invert fifth (5th) in their heat race.)\u00a0 Drivers must qualify within their scheduled group.
\nf.<\/strong> Once a car is pushed and\/or rolls for time-trials, even if it doesn\u2019t start, that is considered an attempt to qualify. If the car leaves the track, that is considered your qualifying attempt. If a car comes to the qualifying line after there designated group, they will not be permitted to qualify.<\/span>
\ng.<\/strong>\u00a0The cars that are late must be in line before the last scheduled car attempts to qualify. Qualifying will be closed once all cars that are in line have attempted to qualify.
\nh.<\/strong>\u00a0In the event of two or more cars posting the same qualifying times, the tie breaker will be the fastest other lap time of the two consecutive recorded laps. If this does not break the tie, the tie will be broken by the qualifying pill draw. In the event that one (1) lap qualifying is utilized, the tiebreaker will be the qualifying pill draw.
\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0In the event of inclement weather and\/or unforeseen circumstances, it is at the discretion of the World Racing Group Supervisory Officials to revise the qualifying procedure.
\nj.<\/strong>\u00a0If, for any reason, a race must be run on a different day after qualifying is completed (except for multiple day events), the driver may start the race in the earned qualifying position even if not in the car originally presented for qualifying.

\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0All heat races will have an invert of four (4).
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0The number of laps in the heat races and number of cars transferring from the heat race(s) will be announced at the drivers meeting by series officials.
\nd.<\/strong>\u00a0The driver that has accumulated the most points through qualifying and their heat races will draw a pill to determine that feature invert.\u00a0 The feature invert will either be a 0, 4, or a 6.
\ne.<\/strong>\u00a0Unless otherwise announced at the drivers meeting, the top sixteen (16) drivers in overall passing points will be locked into the Feature event.
\nf.<\/strong>\u00a0Any driver that does not transfer from the heat race(s) to the feature race will be assigned to compete in an LCS and\/or preliminary main.
\ng.<\/strong>\u00a0Drivers will earn points for heat race finish starting at 20 points dropping by 2 for each position.
\nh.<\/strong> Drivers will earn one (1) point per car passed in the heat race as long as the driver presented their car for qualifying.<\/p>\nJ.<\/strong>\u00a0Last Chance Showdown(s)<\/p>\na.<\/strong> The Last Chance Showdown(s) line up will be determined by overall passing points after qualifying and heat races.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0The number of laps and number of transfer position(s) from the Last Chance Showdown will be based on the overall car count for the event and announced at the drivers meeting.<\/p>\nK.<\/strong>\u00a0Backup Cars<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0A backup car may be introduced at any time between qualifying and the start of the Feature due to the original car not operating properly and\/or from extensive damage. Such determination will be at the sole discretion of the Series Officials. Any such change will result in the driver starting at the rear of the next race segment in which the driver has qualified for. If a driver changes car(s) after hot laps, that driver will remain in his drawn position for qualifying and will be positioned in subsequent races accordingly.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0If a backup car is introduced, the car must pass pre-race technical inspection prior to any competition. A backup car may be obtained from any source and does not have to be part of a team\u2019s original equipment.
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0An additional entry\/inspection fee may be due for the introduction of any backup car where applicable.
\nd.<\/strong>\u00a0Once a car has been withdrawn from an event, that car will not be allowed to be resubmitted to competition during that event.<\/p>\nL.<\/strong>\u00a0Starts<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0The race will begin immediately once the racing surface is clear, and the cars are properly aligned in their assigned starting positions.

\ne.<\/strong>\u00a0In any race once the one (1) to go signal has been displayed cars will not be allowed to enter the racing surface unless directed by a Series Official.
\nf.<\/strong>\u00a0All starts, and restarts will take place at a consistent speed. Consistent speed will be at the discretion of World Racing Group Officials. Starts will take place at a designated point that will be identified at the drivers meeting. Any car out of line and\/or passing before this point will bring out a caution period and will be penalized two (2) positions on the ensuing restart. If an offending car is located on the last row of the starting grid then that car is allowed to restart but will be penalized 2 positions from its finishing position. If the same car commits a second offense it shall be disqualified from that event. All front row cars must choose their racing line coming out of turn three (3) and must maintain that line until the start or restart occurs. Failure to do so will result in a two (2) position penalty. Failure to acknowledge and comply with the \u201cmove back\u201d signal may result in being parked for that race.
\ng.<\/strong>\u00a0In the event that the race is not properly started by the two (2) front row cars, the responsible car(s) may be moved to the second row. Failure to acknowledge and comply with the \u201cmove back\u201d signal may result in being parked for that race.
\nh.<\/strong>\u00a0Alternate starters for any race will not be permitted to start any race after the original start has taken place.
\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0One (1) complete lap must be completed before the race is restarted using a restart lineup.
\nj.<\/strong>\u00a0The pole car sets the pace, and the front row starts the race together at the designated area, regardless of a displayed flag. Any passing before the front row accelerates will not be permitted.
\nk.<\/strong>\u00a0If a caution comes out on the original start or before one (1) lap is completed, the car or cars that brought out the caution will lineup at the rear of the field and the race will have a complete restart for the remainder of the field with cars lined up by position at the discretion of the race director.<\/p>\nM.<\/strong>\u00a0Restarts<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0All restarts will take place with the lead lap cars moved to the front of the field. Lapped cars will pull to the inside and fall in behind the last car on the lead lap in their order of running.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0If a car is unable to properly restart the race after the one (1) attempt, the car will be penalized two (2) positions.
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0When an infraction occurs on a restart, race officials may exercise their discretion and allow the race to continue, not calling for another restart, and then penalize the offending car(s) under yellow flag conditions or at the conclusion of the race. The offending car(s) will be penalized 2 positions.
\nd.<\/strong>\u00a0The restart area will be at the designated restart area, which will be announced at the Drivers Meeting.
\ne.<\/strong>\u00a0All restarts will take place at a consistent speed. Consistent speed will be at the discretion of Series Officials.

\nh.<\/strong>\u00a0Under red flag conditions any car that stops because of a blocked track, at the discretion of the Series Officials, will not be considered involved in the red.
\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0Any car that is stopped for consultation during a caution period will retain its position only if the Series Officials deem the car \u2018clear\u2019 and permit it to return directly to competition without adjustment.
\nj.<\/strong>\u00a0If a car is not in a proper nose-to-tail alignment and\/or is laying back to create excessive gap between cars, then that car may be penalized. If there are multiple violations, the car may be disqualified from the event.
\nk.<\/strong>\u00a0Restarts will follow single-file procedures following a caution period.<\/p>\nN.<\/strong>\u00a0Racing<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0Any car that does not race on the designated racing surface in order to better its position will be black flagged and penalized at the discretion of the Series Officials.
\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0The maximum number of event laps will be stated by the Series Race Director during the drivers meeting but may change due to extenuating circumstances.
\nc.<\/strong>\u00a0Any car that spins, is involved in an incident and\/or has a problem but does not bring out the yellow flag and\/or create a caution period, will blend back into the field where the driver is able to do so.

\nf.<\/strong>\u00a0If a race is red flagged due to weather conditions and cars are sent to the pits, then any and all work, including tire changes, is permitted.
\ng.<\/strong>\u00a0If there is an incident resulting in a closed red situation and the determination is made to go to an open red then all the cars that were considered involved, whether they went to the work area or not, will re-align at the rear of the field in their scored position on their last completed lap. Order is lead lap cars, 1 lap down cars, and multiple laps down cars.
\nh. A spin or stoppage that requires a car to be restarted during a yellow flag slow down period is considered as being involved and will result in said car or cars re-aligning at the rear of the field along with other cars that were involved in the yellow stoppage.
\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0If it is determined in any race, after the original start, that any competitor deliberately initiates a caution period, by any means, that competitor may be penalized. The determination of what constitutes deliberately initiating a caution period will be at the judgment of the and\/or World Racing Group Officials.
\nj.<\/strong>\u00a0Any cars going to the work area and reentering the race together will be positioned in the order of their last scored lap at the rear of the field behind cars that are on the same lap as they are. If a restart green flag is displayed and followed by a yellow or red flag before a lap is scored, then any car(s) that remained in the work area can reenter the race but will be positioned behind any same lap car that took the aforementioned restart green flag. If a car remains in the work area it can re-enter during any ensuing race stoppage, lining up behind any cars that are on the same lap as said car that is re-entering.
\nk.<\/strong>\u00a0Officials may complete an event, at any completed lap count, at their discretion, if a condition or circumstances create a reasonable inability to continue. The race will be considered complete unless announced otherwise.
\nl.<\/strong>\u00a0If, when officials determine in their sole discretion that unforeseen circumstances prevent the completion of the advertised distance or make it impractical to continue or complete the race within a reasonable time after it has been stopped, the race will be considered officially completed as of the last lap scored by the leader prior to the race halt. The finishing positions will be determined, as they would have held if the race had been restarted.
\nm.<\/strong>\u00a0A pace car may be utilized to pace the field prior to the start of the event and on all restarts. Passing of the pace car, unless otherwise instructed to do so by the Series Race Director will not be permitted.
\nn.<\/strong>\u00a0Hand signals and colored gloves will be permitted during the use of communication with drivers. Flashlights, sticks and\/or anything with electricity and\/or two-way radio communication or any electronic communication with drivers will not be permitted.
\no.<\/strong>\u00a0Any driver not qualified for the Feature that gains entry into the Feature due to a car\/driver separation will earn show-up points only for the entire event.
\np.<\/strong>\u00a0In the event that a race car is inadvertently or purposely hit by a push truck, pace vehicle or purposely hit by another race car during push-off, or under yellow flag conditions or other non-racing activity and such incident is witnessed by a race official, then repairs can be made to the contacted vehicle and that car will resume it\u2019s running position. The maximum time allotted for such repairs is six (6) minutes. If repairs cannot be completed within this time, then the car will be scored as finishing last in that race. Alternate(s) starters will not be given a starting position in this situation. In the event the damaged car is not able to reenter the race, the car will be scored last on the lap in which that car has completed.
\nq.<\/strong>\u00a0When a car is presented in the designated lineup area or during push-off for any event competition, any tire change is prohibited. Any tire change will result in forfeiting starting position. Penalty will be starting in the last position.
\nr.<\/strong>\u00a0Adding fuel, whether on the track or in the work area, will not be permitted when yellow flag and\/or closed red flag conditions exist.<\/p>\nO.<\/strong>\u00a0Work Area<\/p>\na.<\/strong> When the yellow flag is displayed a two (2) minute period will be permitted for the repairs of any race damage. The time will begin once the car has reached the designated work area. The car will rejoin the field at the tail of the lap it\u2019s on once the work has been completed at the direction of Series Officials. Once an event has hit the halfway point, there will be no guaranteed time in the work area
\nb.<\/strong> Drivers will only get guaranteed work area time once during each on-track event.\u00a0<\/span>
\nc. Work area will only be for heat races, last chance showdowns, and feature events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nP.<\/strong>\u00a0Flag Rules and Officials Signals<\/p>\na.<\/strong>\u00a0Green Flag<\/p>\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0The green flag signifies the start of any race and\/or qualifying run.<\/p>\nb.<\/strong>\u00a0Yellow Flag<\/p>\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0When the yellow flag is displayed, and\/or the yellow caution lights are illuminated, this signifies a caution period.

In an open red flag, a work area may be designated on the racing surface. All cars will be moved to the designated work area on the racing surface before work begins.
\nii.<\/strong>\u00a0When the red flag is displayed all cars on the racing surface and in the pit area must come to a complete stop in a controlled manner, while not stopping and\/or driving through the area of the incident. Cars are not permitted to move for any reason unless instructed by Series Officials. Any car that moves during the red flag without permission will be penalized and\/or parked.
\niii.<\/strong>\u00a0During any red flag situation all drivers, unless involved in the incident, must remain in their car unless otherwise instructed by Series Officials.
\niv.<\/strong>\u00a0During any red flag, once the field is stopped, the race director may offer the opportunity for any car to the work area by signaling to do so with instruction over the one-way radio. Any car that goes to the work area for service during the red flag period will surrender its running position and have to restart at the rear of the field and\/or if the race is canceled due to inclement weather, the car will be scored behind those cars which did not go to the work area.
\nv.<\/strong>\u00a0If the race is red flagged due to inclement weather conditions, work and tire changes will be permitted.
\nvi. CLOSED RED:<\/strong>\u00a0The track will be closed. Crew members will not be permitted on the racetrack and\/or to their race cars.
\nvii. OPEN RED:<\/strong>\u00a0The Race Director will determine when the track is open. Any repairs and\/or adjustments, except changing a tire or wheel, can be made to the race car. When the Race Director determines that the racing may resume; an air horn designating the start of a 2-minute work period will be sounded. At one-minute remaining, the air horn will be sounded twice. At the end of the 2-minute period the horn will be sounded, officially ending the work period. Crews must be clear of their car when the 2-minute period has expired or be penalized 2 running positions. Last row cars violating this procedure will be penalized 2 positions from their finishing position. Any car still being worked on once the field has started assembling will be disqualified and not allowed to re-enter the race.
\nviii. FUEL RED:<\/strong>\u00a0As soon as all the crews have reached their cars an air horn designating a 2-minute work period will be sounded. The 2-minute work period procedure is the same as outlined above. Any repairs and adjustments, except changing a tire or wheel, can be made to the race car as long as they are completed before the 2-minute period has expired.<\/p>\nd.<\/strong>\u00a0Black Flag<\/p>\ni.<\/strong>\u00a0If the black flag is displayed, then the driver that the flag is being displayed toward must bring their car to designated pit work area immediately for consultation.

A.<\/strong>\u00a0All races are scored at the designated start\/finish line.
\nB.\u00a0<\/strong>A lap will not be scored on the original start and\/or any restart unless all cars complete the lap by passing through the start\/finish line except for the cars involved in the incident.
\nC.<\/strong>\u00a0After the first completed green flag lap, following the original start or restart, when the caution is displayed all cars that were scored under green flag conditions will hold that scored position with all other cars lining up according to their last completed green flag scored lap. This partial lap will count toward the event\u2019s total number of laps. Racing back to the start\/finish line will not be permitted.\u00a0 This is also known as split scoring.\u00a0 A completed lap is considered leader plus one (1).
\nD.<\/strong> In the event that a yellow and\/or red flag is displayed with the checkered flag simultaneously that race will be considered complete.\u00a0 The cars not crossing the finish line will be scored according to their position in their last completed green flag lap.<\/p>\nSection 3 – Payoff Procedure<\/h3>\n
