On restarts, passing is allowed immediately after the green flag is displayed. Passing prior to the display of the green flag will result in a two position per car passed penalty, assessed at the conclusion of the event.

YELLOW FLAG: The yellow flag signals caution. When the yellow flag is displayed, all cars must stop racing immediately and fall into single file in the position they were in when the flag was displayed.

Any car going to the pit area while under caution will restart at the rear of the line-up.We do not race to the yellow flag.

RED FLAG: The red flag means the race must be stopped immediately regardless of the cars position on the track. Red flag laps are not scored. After stopping, wait for the light to return to yellow or for the flagman to signal that it is safe to move. Cars should proceed to turn three and wait for a line-up.

WHITE FLAG: The white flag signals that a driver is entering the final lap of a race. The next flag will be the checkered flag unless a red flag is displayed because of an unsafe condition between the cars racing the final lap and the start/finish line.

CHECKERED FLAG: The checkered flag means the race event is over. The first three cars, as determined by distance run, should proceed back to the start finish line for verification. Once released by the officials on the track, the first three cars must proceed directly to the technical inspection garage before returning to their pit areas. Failure to do so may result in disqualification and loss of purse and points for that meet.

He will be informed in the pit area of the reason for the black flag. The black flag may be displayed for an infraction of the rules, in which case the driver is disqualified from further participation in that event only, and loses all points and purse for that event. If the black flag is displayed for a mechanical problem deemed by track officials to be hazardous to either the driver or other competitors, the car will be allowed to re-enter the event if the car is repaired.
