discretion.
9)

in both heats and/or features after original lap is completed.
If the first lap is not completed, the line-up goes back to a complete
and original lineup. Inside and outside pole drivers have the responsibility
to stay even and set the pace for the start or restart. These drivers will not
accelerate on starts or restarts until their cars are exiting turn 4 and have
passed the white line on the track in turn 4. If the flagman is unable to

even or one has attempted to lay back to "slingshot" on the start,
one or both may be sent to the rear of the line-up.

during the running of a particular race.

Flag Rules
Green Flag: The green flag signals
the start or re-start of a race. On an original start, cars must remain in
their position until they have crossed the start/ finish line. Any car getting
out of line or passing before said start/finish line on the original start
of a race will be penalized two positions for each car passed. 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. All penalties will
be 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. Cars should circle the track slowly until notified
by track officials of any change in position. The flagman will notify scoring
regarding the reason for the yellow and which car(s) caused the yellow flag
to be thrown. These cars will be sent to the rear of the line-up. Cars will
be lined up for the restart according to their position on the last completed
green flag lap prior to the lap in which the yellow flag was displayed, except
for those designated to go to the rear of the line-up. 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.
Black Flag:
The black flag is the consultation flag. When the black flag is displayed to a
car, the driver must leave the racing surface for the pit area immediately. 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. No purse or points will be withheld from a driver black
flagged for mechanical problems.
