In the event of a wreck in practice (pre race), and the car is unable to race, the driver will be allowed to register another car provided that car has not yet been registered for the race and fits the class requirements. Car numbers, frequencies and channels are registered on a first come, first served basis and must be registered. If there is a change, that must also be reported. However, racers from the previous season will be allowed to keep their same car numbers, and frequencies if possible. Novice races will be timed 3 minutes by the lap counting system, all other races will be 4 minutes. There will be approximately 6 minutes between each race. There will be no pausing of the computer. If you are not on the stand ready to race when the race starts, you may enter when you are ready. Positions will be selected by drawing. Registration must be completed prior to every

STARTS: All classes will have a still start, with a 2 foot rule with the exception of any gas powered class. All gas powered off road racers will be responsible for making their own start stand to fit their vehicle. If you do not have a start stand, you will have to hold your own vehicle. PROTESTS: Anyone can call a motor at any time, for any reason after the race. The motor must be given up immediately without question, or the motor in question will be ruled illegal. Protests will be heard after racing is completed by the Club President and Vice President. If the President and/or Vice President is involved in the protest, the ruling rests with the one that is not involved and another uninvolved Officer of the Club. If both the President and Vice President are involved, the ruling is made by a vote of the Club members present at that race. All rulings are final.

that car up to that point will be forfeited, and a fine will be imposed. The
fine will be $20 and is payable to the Club. The fine must be paid prior
