HEATS will be assigned by staff and will be a course of elimination heats to advance to the feature.
THE DRIVER QUALIFIES FOR THE FEATURE NOT THE CAR, what this means is: if you destroy your car in the heat and you qualify for the feature "you may use another registered car that has RUN IN A HEAT OR CONSI. for at least 5 minutes. (HEAD OFFICIAL MUST BE NOTIFIED TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE ROSTER) This person’s name is John Faucett!

Do not get out of your vehicle unless you are told to do so by an official while you are competing in the arena area.
Drivers must remain with their vehicles until they are removed from the arena.
NO PIT CREWS ALLOWED ON THE TRACK AT ANYTIME, FAMILY MEMBERS, or FRIENDS.

NO DRIVERS DOOR HITS: However, we all know that accidents do happen. If it looks intentional you will get disqualified. If it is questionable we may stop the heat or feature and it will be up to the driver who received the hit in the door if the violator is disqualified. SO PLEASE TELL ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION.
TEAM DRIVING: It is allowed to a certain extent. YOU MUST MAKE COMPETITIVE CONTACT WITH ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE COMPETING IN THE ARENA. Do not make the officials dictate the outcome!!

Sandbagging: It is up to the drivers that are competing to take out the other cars that are grocery shopping, not the officials. Remember 1 minute combat rule. 1 minute re-starts. "Some drivers may get more time for a re-start if they are putting on a good show"
Officials will paint an X on the sandbaggers so the rest of the field is aware of what is going on. It is up to you as a driver to take them out. The officials reserve the right and will disqualify a sandbagger if he does not get with the program.

FIRES: Depending on what type of fire it is, you will be out.
ROLLOVERS: We hope this does not occur and at the first sign of a car rolling over YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE GAS & STOP.
