ENDURO RACING RULES

A red flag will be displayed in emergency situations.  Yellow flags will be used when necessary. If a red flag is displayed prior to the completion of the first lap, all vehicles will be lined up in their original positions.  On red flag stops, the  top 15 will be lined up according to scoring on the last green flag lap prior to the red flag lap, and the rest will fall in behind.  Penalties will be assessed for vehicles moving during red flag.  Any vehicle leaving the track during a red flag will remain in the pit for the remainder of that race.  If a vehicle goes in the pit once a yellow is displayed, it stays at the entrance to the track and falls in at the end of the line up. No passing on the original green until your vehicle has passed the start/finish line.  On restarts, passing may be done anytime after the green flag is thrown.  The first vehicle to complete the required number of laps under the green flag is the winner.  Vehicles that are disabled but, in the race director’s opinion, are not in danger or posing a risk to other vehicles, will be left sitting where they are until the end of the race or a red flag is thrown, at which time they may be assisted to the pit area.  All pit stops must be made in a safe and orderly manner, at a maximum speed of 5 M.P.H. in the pit area.  Loss of a wheel or tire requires immediate exiting of the race track.  Failure to do so will result in a disqualification.  Vehicles may return to the race when repairs are completed.  Return to the track at the direction of race officials posted at the entrance of the track on turn three.
