Amendment of rules

OCRS reserves the right to add to, delete, supersede or modify any rules, exhibits or drawings that

OCRS deems necessary for the betterment and/or safety of racing, the rules may be amended and subsequent publication in the rule book in addition, pursuant to authority conferred by the promoter, may issue amendments during the racing season in the form of serially numbered and dated technical bulletins. Participants shall be responsible for being aware of and complying with all such amendments issued in the form of technical bulletins.

1. Qualifying heat races will be held at all events.

2.    The car count at the close of the drawing for qualifying heats will determine the number of heats to

be run. As each number is drawn for a car that number will be posted and this procedure will be repeated until a number has been drawn for each car that wishes to compete. The lowest number goes to the pole of the first heat race; the next lowest drawn number goes to the pole of the second heat, ect. Once pole position in each heat is filled, the next lowest number goes to the outside front row of the first heat, ect. If there are an uneven number of cars to equally distribute between heats, the last cars will be placed at the back of the lowest numbered heats. Any cars not represented at the drawing shall be placed at the rear of a heat race and will receive no passing points. Heat races will determine the starting position for the balance of races scheduled. Draw will close thirty minutes before the race program starts. It is up to you to come to draw in.

3.    The passing point system will be used to determine starting positions in feature events. The driver

will receive points for passing as well as finishing position with the driver accumulating the most points from heat races starting in the pole position. Any driver failing to draw for heat races or pack racing surface will not receive passing points, but only points accumulated through his finishing position in his heat race. In the event of a tie in passing points, the driver who first earned the points

shall be aligned in front of any subsequent driver earning the same number of points.

4.    A car and driver qualify as a team. Each driver can qualify only one car per race nite. No driver

will be permitted to change cars after taking the green flag of his qualifying heat race. An exception to this rule will be in a two-day race.

5.    OCRS will advise driver of the make-up of the number of heat races, main events, field maximum size and other pertinent information at the drivers meeting.

6.  The lineup posted on the pit bulletin board when cars enter the racing surface for any race shall be the final line-up. In the event a car drops out of the line-up for mechanical reasons, the balance of field shall move straight forward.

7.  The start will be official only upon the starter signaling with the green flag. In the event a pace car is used, all cars shall take their proper position behind it. In the event a pace car is not used, the pole car will set the pace, which shall be consistent with track conditions and as required to keep the field in formation. OCRS shall be empowered to disqualify or penalize any driver violating the rule.

8.  A cone will be placed on the turn four area for all double file starts. All cars must remain in proper

order until the lead cars reach the point. Flagman will be instructed not to throw the green flag until then. If in official's judgment the front row cars are out of position a yellow will be displayed after the green and a warning given to offenders. Any further violations will result in the offenders being placed to the back. Any other car not in proper position will also be penalized to the rear.

9.On all single file starts after one lap the restarts will start at a cone to be placed at flag stand. The leader must start race at or near the cone and all cars must go outside of cone in the proper aligned order. Leader must set a consistent pace. Any car going inside of cone, hitting cone or passing a car prior to going outside of cone will cause a yellow and be placed on rear.

10.   Any car requiring a second push on start or restart of race will be placed at rear.

11.   Any car not running at a reasonable racing speed may be subject to black flag for safety reasons. 12.No two-way radios will be allowed.

13. All cars must be in staging area and ready for that race when the field enters the track. Any car not lined up when the race pulls out onto the track will be considered late and start on the back of the field.

If this happens in a heat race you will be disqualified for that heat race (no points). The person being penalized will be

allowed to start at the back of the last feature.

Yellow Flag procedures
