START OF RACE – All Jr.& Senior kart classes will start each event with a double file start. If a clean start CAN NOT be accomplished within two tries, the race will be started with a single file start.

 

All Kid Kart classes will start each event with a double file “stand still” start. All restarts will be single file “stand still” start.

 

  All Quad classes will start with a “HOLE SHOT” start 4 wide, with a green light to signal the start. If a clean start CAN NOT be accomplished within two tries, the race will be started with a “ROLLING” single file start. During a feature event, the pole sitter has the option to start in the first or fourth position. If the pole sitter chooses fourth position, the second place rider will start in first position. If any row one rider “jump starts” the race. The rider will go to last row and entire row will move up one spot.

 

Slingshots/Young Gun 390s will start/restart all races with a double file start until the half way in laps or half way in time. After the half way point, all restarts will be single filed.

 

BLINKING YELLOW LIGHT – Means the race is ready to begin. The track entrance will be closed at this time. Any kart/car/quad that spins or is involved in an on track incident during a blinking light period must restart at the rear of the field.

 

STARTING ZONE – The pole sitter will start all races. The pole sitter must start the race somewhere between the two starting points. If the pole sitter does not start by the second point, the outside pole sitter can start the race. Break checking or pushing is not allowed nor will it be tolerated. The pole sitter should set a moderate and consistent pace during starting.

 

JUMPING THE START – Front Row – If either karts/cars/quads in the front row jumps the start of a race, the race may continue, but a 2 spot penalty will be assessed at the next yellow, red or end of the race to the car that jumped. Rest of Field – If a kart/car/quad passes on the inside before getting to the first starting point, or if a kart/car/quad passes prior to the green light being turned on, a 4 spot penalty will be assessed at the next yellow, red or end of the race. If a kart/car/quad jumps 2 times in the same race, they will be put to the rear. All kart/cars/quads may only pass on the outside before they get to the first starting point, this may only happen if the green light is on.

 

 

MISSING KARTS/CARS/QUADS ON GRID – If track officials have not been notified that a car is missing on the grid is still attempting to make the field, the race will start. The track officials will assume that the missing car is not going to make the race. Two extra yellow pace laps will be allowed if the track officials are notified. It is up to the driver and/or pit crew to be ready for the race. The track officials will not go looking for the missing car.

 

MISSING KART/QUAD/CAR IN LINE UP – On double file starts or restarts, stay in your original starting spot and in single file until the track officials tell you to double up, then, by crossing over fill in the line up.

 

SPINS, ACCIDENTS ON STARTS – A kart/quad/car that spins or is involved in an accident after the blinking yellow light comes on shall go to the rear if no laps have been completed.

 

YELLOW FLAG LAPS – Yellow flag laps do not count as official laps. All restart positions will be as per the last officially completed lap. The scorer’s decision is final. A completed lap will be when the first kart/quad/car on the lead lap crosses the finish line.

 

LINING UP UNDER YELLOW FLAG CONDITIONS – It is the responsibility of each driver to line up where the track officials tell them to go. If a driver does not get into line when told to do so, that driver maybe penalized a minimum of 2 spots at the next yellow, red, or at the end of race or may be disqualified from the race. This is a track official’s decision. All drivers shall look at the track official during a yellow flag condition to assist in getting lined up correctly so that the race can be restarted with a minimum number of yellow laps.

 

SPINNING KART/CAR/QUAD AND YELLOW FLAG – If a kart/quad/car spins and does not attempt to continue the yellow flag will be thrown. If a car spins and continues on, no yellow flag will be thrown unless there is a safety factor involved. If a car spins, and there are other racecars/quads approaching, a yellow flag may be thrown. This is a Track Officials call.

 

SPIN OUTS – Two self inflicted spin outs for a driver that results in yellow flags will disqualify that driver from further racing in that heat or feature.

 

ACCIDENTS – After a yellow or red flag accident, the track officials shall determine if a kart/quad/car can safely continue to race.

 

KARTS/CARS/QUADS THAT BREAK DURING A RACE – Cars/quads that break down during a race shall make every effort to get off the racing surface. If a car/quad cannot make it to the exit, it should pull off into the center of the infield and allow the race to continue.

 

BROKEN PART – Broken parts that can become a safety issue will not be allowed. Kart/quad/car with loose bumpers or loose bodywork will be black-flagged, and must pull into the infield or exit the track. A track official can stop a car/quad during a yellow condition to check a safety item such as a broken part. This car will regain their current race position. A competitor can stop in front or a track official during a yellow flag condition if they feel something is broken on their kart/quad/car. The official will check the car/quad and if it is deemed safe the competitor will go back to their current race position.  All kart/quad/car that are determined “unsafe” will be sent to the infield until the race is over.

 

FLAT TIRES – Kart/quad/car with flat tires will be allowed to continue in the race providing that they are not a safety hazard. This will be at the track official’s decision.

 

REPAIRS ON THE TRACK – No repairs can be made to a car once it has entered the track.

 

COOL DOWN LAP – All competitors MUST take a cool down lap after coming across the finish line under full power, this is a safety issue and may lead to disqualification if not followed.

 

SCALES/IMPOUND AREA – After the heat or feature race all entrants must proceed to the scale and/or impound area until told to leave by the track officials. All cars must shut off their motors before entering the scale area. A car found to be light, will be rechecked as soon as the scales can be looked at and reset. If weighed for the second time and still found to be light, the car will be disqualified. Kart/quad/car that cannot be driven or pushed are considered “hooked”, and do not have to be weighed. Any kart/quad/car that does not go to this area immediately after the race will be disqualified.
