Lane choice will be randomly selected. 9 or more drivers qualifying order will be randomly selected; qualifying will be for 1 minute on a lane selected by the race director. Overall ranking will be determined by the total laps and sections. Ties will be broken by the best lap time and then order of tech in. Any driver who misses their qualifying time will be ranked in last position.

Race:

• Every race will be run as a main starting with the slowest ending with the fastest. (i.e. C-main runs before the b-main, b-main runs before the a-main.)
• If 11 or less entries a round robin will be run.
• If possible the number of drivers in each main will be equal, if not the mains will be filled from the slowest to the fastest.
• There will be a 2 minute warm-up before each main.

 Marshaling:

• Drivers at the end of their main must marshal the next main or whenever called upon.
• The number of marshals must be the same in each main.
• You will be disqualified for failure to marshal & will forfeit payout & points

 Track calls:

• Under a bridge or on the floor in an area indirectly accessible.
• Becoming a rider.
• A warning will be given for the first illegal track call & a 5 lap penalty for each successive call.

 Classification:

After each main, a drivers finishing position will be a result of the sum of the laps completed and the last lap sections. The number of laps made can only be a result of the lap counter. No lap correction is made for lane jumping (riders) or missed counting due to the cars braid. The race director must check the lap counting system if there is a sustained problem. If a problem with the lap counter occurs, then the race director must rerun the current segment. If the lap counter fails to operate, the raceway must provide a spotter to count laps.

• Cars will be impounded after qualifying. Cars may not be touched by driver or pit crew until the power comes on in warm up.
