Rules:
● The drivers meeting is mandatory and will start at 6:45pm sharp. There will be a random roll call and any driver not in attendance will start in the rear of the first race.
● The start will be a single file rolling start. Each driver may accelerate at the wave of the green flag. You cannot pass the kart in front of you until you cross start/finish line. You cannot step out of line before start/finish. Jump starts will result in a black flag stop and go penalty.
● All penalties will be either a black flag stop and go or a final position change.
● Rough driving will not be tolerated and may result in the loss of driving privileges. Rough driving will be assessed by the track officials and the race director. If you move a kart out of the way and gain that position, you can either give the position back and receive no penalty (you have 1 lap to do this), or we will manually move your finishing position behind the finishing position of the kart you moved.
● No blocking. You may make one move in advance of the kart(s) behind you. You cannot move back across the track after you have made your move. You cannot run someone off the track that is beside you on a straightaway.
● No passing in parts of track with local yellows
● If you have an open black flag directed at you, you must come into pit lane for a stop and go penalty.
● Repeated four wheels off will result in a black flag and you must come in for a stop and go penalty
● Concrete run-off is not considered part of the racing surface
● Pit Lane speed- 5 mph
● Bad behavior and/or foul language will not be tolerated, and any person involved will be asked to leave the premises
