10 RACE PROCEDURES 1. The only people allowed on the racetrack and outside the pit area fencing/barriers are racing officials. Drivers must stay in their cars while on racetrack. Drivers exiting their car on the racetrack face disqualification from the event. DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR. Pit crews, car owners and personnel related to any car are not allowed on the track following any accident or injury, doing so will result in car and driver being disqualified for the night. 2. No repairs are allowed to a racecar except in the pit area. Pit crews are not allowed to come on to the racing surface for any reason during an event. If any crew members enter racing surface, car and driver will be disqualified for the night. This includes red flag situations. 3. Drivers may compete in more than one division per race night by paying an additional entry fee of $25 per additional division driver is competing in, plus a $10 draw fee for that division. During special events with entry fee for divisions, driver may compete in multiple divisions by paying entry fee for each division driver is competing in. 1. Drivers must draw their own number for heat and qualifying line-ups at the draw window prior to entering the night s event. Heat and feature line-ups will be posted in the pits (at the pit concessions). For all divisions, except Late Models and Amateur 4 if a driver wins two (2) feature events in a row, they cannot start any farther forward than the 8 th starting position of the next feature they qualify for; three (3) feature events in a row, they cannot start any farther forward than the 10 th starting position of the next feature they qualify for; four (4) features in row, no closer than 12 th ; five (5) or more features, the tail of the starting field. All Amateur 4 previous feature winners will start in the rear with the most recent winner at the tail. 2. Driver s competing in Street Stock must declare at draw window if their car is OSP Street Stock or NeSmith Street Stock. 3. Every week during the point s season there will be a $10 draw fee for each division competing in. This money will be added to year end points fund. 4. Any car that has been qualified for the feature event can be driven by another driver in that event, subject to notification to scoring, but will relinquish their starting position and start at the rear of the field. The same is true in the case of a driver using a back-up car. The points will follow the driver of the racecar, not the car itself or the car owner. 5. Any driver starting a heat or feature race without notification to race officials that they are driving, will be disqualified and not receive points or monies for the nights event. 6. A back-up car may only be used in the event that a racecar becomes disabled during preliminary competition (warm-ups or Heat Race) on that specific race night. If the back-up car does not meet the divisional specifications, the driver may only complete one lap and exit into the pit area (no exceptions). 7. Cars must be lined up and ready to race prior to the white flag being displayed in the previous race. Any driver failing to be lined up prior to this time will be lined up at the rear of the field. Drivers in place will move straight up in their rows with the latecomers falling to the rear in the order they came to the staging area. All drivers must follow the official s direction. 8. The initial start of all heats and features is made by the flagman. At the beginning of the race, the field must maintain a nose to tail, side by side formation at a consistent speed until the green flag is waved. Any car deemed to have jumped the start of the race may be black flagged to the tail. If a caution is displayed prior to a lap being completed, a complete restart will result with all retaining their starting positions except for those causing the caution. If after two unsuccessful tries at starting a race double file fails, a single file start will be used. 9. When a caution flag is thrown, drivers must slow down safely and maintain their position on the track. We do not race back to the flag stand. If a full lap (full lap leader has crossed start finish line) is not completed, we will go back to the last completed lap. 9

11 10. At the discretion of the officials, any car causing a caution will be placed at the rear of the field for the restart. Any driver causing two (2) cautions within the same race, will be black flagged from that race and sent to the pit area. 11. All restarts are double file with leader starting out front (Dixie Style) and can restart any time after passing the designated line on the wall and prior to flag stand. If the leader does not fire by the time he reaches the flag stand, the flagman will restart the race. All other drivers must remain in position and are not allowed to pass until after the restart. When the leader accelerates, the remainder of the field must do so also. If you do not accelerate when the remainder of the field does and you are passed, this is not considered a jump. Jumping is a judgment call that is determined by track officials. Any time a driver is deemed to have jumped the restart, they may be black flagged and sent to the tail. A second jump within the same race will result in a black flag and a one-lap penalty. If a car breaks on a restart, they should move to the INSIDE to allow remainder of field to pass. There will be two attempts at a double file restart if unsuccessful will restart single file. 12. If a red flag is displayed, slow down as quickly as possible and come to a stop on the track. We may need to dispatch the ambulance and fire truck and they need a clear path to the accident. 13. When the leader takes the white flag, all cars are considered on the last lap. If a caution comes out prior to the leader taking the checkered flag there will be one attempt at a green-white-checker. Green and white flag thrown together for restart and checkers to complete the lap. If a yellow or red comes out after the green and white are thrown the field will be locked in place and race will be complete. 14. There will be NO ROUGH DRIVING. Any car that intentionally spins out or drives into another car will be immediately black-flagged to the pits for consultation with the officials, and will be subject to further penalty as deemed necessary. We will not tolerate rough driving. 15. All cars exiting to pit area must exit track in turn 3 at end of concrete wall. After initial entry onto race track cars may only re-enter in exit of turn 3 by merging into race traffic under the direction of raceceiver director. There will be no re-entry onto race track during heat races. 16. Drivers must maintain a safe speed in the pit area (even if during a race). Any driver entering or exiting the pit area at what is deemed to be an unsafe manner may be black-flagged from the race and be subject to further penalty. 17. The time begins when the initial green flag falls. During the regular season on regular race nights (does not include double feature nights or nights when heats are not run), the following distances and time limits will be imposed, unless changes are necessary and are made by chief steward prior to the event: DIVISION HEAT LAPS & TIME LIMIT FEATURE LAPS FEATURE TIME LIMIT Late Models 5 (7 Minutes) Minutes Street Stock 5 (7 Minutes) Minutes Pure Hobby 4 (7 Minutes) Minutes Mini Stocks 4 (7 Minutes) Minutes Super 4 s 4 (7 Minutes) Minutes Amateur 4 s 4 (7 Minutes) Minutes When the time limit has been exceeded, the race will be declared official when the leader is given the checkered flag. 18. Rookies must begin their heat and feature race from the rear of the field for their first three events (double features are considered two events). 10

12 19. Line-ups will be determined by: 1. Heat Races by a blind draw conducted at the draw window. Those failing to draw prior to draw being cut-off will be placed at the rear of a heat race. Transfer positions will be dependent upon car count. Divisions having less than ten (10) cars will not run a heat race. 2. If a B Feature is run, the non-qualifiers will be lined up according to their finish in the heat races straight up. Transfer positions will be dependent upon car count. 3. The A Feature for the Late Model, Street Stock, Pure Stock, Mini Stocks and Super 4 s will be lined up according to their finish in the heat races straight up. Amateur 4 s will be lined up according to their finish in the heat races with all previous feature winners in the rear with the most recent winner at the tail. 4. On nights when a division does not run heat races, the line-ups will be according to the blind draw held at the draw window for their feature race. 20. On nights when a division runs double features, there will not be any heat races run for that division. The line-ups will be according to the blind draw held at the draw window. The feature will be inverted from the starting field line up for the second feature (If you started on the pole for the first feature, you will start last for the second feature). 21. After any race has been completed, the officials have the right to inspect any part of any cars. If you are directed to go to the scales or the inspection area, you must do so immediately. Any competitor not going directly to the tech area will be disqualified from the race. 22. Only the following persons will be allowed in the tech area unless asked by an official: OSP officials, OSP management and two (2) members of the racing team being inspected who are handling the removal of the requested components to be inspected. After the components have been removed, only OSP officials, OSP management, one (1) representatives of the racing team will be allowed into the inspection room or area to determine the legality of the components. 23. All drivers (including those not directly involved with the inspection) are reminded they are responsible for their crew and fans at all times. Misconduct or behavior that is detrimental to the inspection process may result in fines and/or suspensions levied against those teams disrupting the procedure. This includes activity outside the tech area. Respect the task at hand. 24. Any participant who refuses to allow tech officials to inspect their car will be subject to the following: Any competitor who fails to tear down a car for inspection and/or fails to surrender any illegal part(s) and/or equipment when requested to do so by an official will be disqualified from the event, lose all points and prize money from that event, be suspended for the next two (2) events and forfeit 50% of all accumulated championship points. There cannot be an appeal allowed without the parts in question turned in at the time the official s request is made. The car will remain ineligible until after the required inspection has been completed by an official. 25. Any participant found to be illegal will not receive prize money and will not receive points for that event. If found illegal on a double features night, the car will be declared illegal for both races and will not receive prize money and points for either race. APPEALS Drivers may appeal a disqualification by submitting a written appeal with references to the rulebook and written evidence defending their position along with an appeals fee of $200. All parts must remain at the track and in the possession of the OSP officials for any appeal to be considered.

13 PROTESTS 1. Track management assumes no responsibility for detection of irregularity or violation of any rule governing mechanical specifications of race cars. If a driver believes that another competitor has or will obtain a significant unfair advantage by some action that the driver believes is in violation of this rulebook, the driver may protest such action to an Oglethorpe Speedway Park official. All protests must be presented by the driver to an OSP official in writing; the driver must be competing at the event and must follow the guidelines of this rulebook. 2. A visual protest must be declared in writing to an official at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of the feature race for that division and be accompanied by a cash bond of $50. A visual protest is a protest, which does not require any type of measuring device to determine the legality of any part on the car. Visual refers to anything outwardly visible, and visual therefore means anything under the hood or car that is outwardly visible to the official. a. If a visual protest is upheld, the driver must turn over the protested part to the officials prior to the beginning of the feature. The driver will be fined $150, which is payable that night or the driver will lose all points and prize money for that event. 3.

If needed, official scoring will announce each driver s position. b. The Oglethorpe Speedway Park chief steward shall decide whether the matter is protestable and if so, OSP Officials shall decide the protest as promptly as possible. A decision that the matter is not protestable is final and non-appealable. The officials have the right to not accept a protest that they feel has been made in retaliation and/or spite. c. Any competitor who fails to tear down a car after being protested and/or fails to surrender any illegal part(s) and/or equipment when requested to do so by an official will be disqualified from the event, lose all points and prize money from that event, be suspended for the next two (2) events and forfeit 50% of all accumulated championship points.
