GENERAL RACE PROCEDURES: 1) Cars will be lined up by qualifying, points or by a draw system. 2) When possible all races will be pre-staged on the backstretch of the quarter mile 3) This Speedway uses a “fail to tail” system on yellow flags, any cars involved (a spin to avoid or stopping is considered involved) will go to the rear of the field. 4) Any car causing two yellow flags in a race will be sent to the pits. 5) All officials’ decisions are final. 6) A car may be entered in only one division per day; only exception is the Double “O”. 7) Any additional cars advancing to any feature from semi is subject to adjusted payout. 8) Pitting: We will try to get all teams in and out as quickly as possible.
