AA400 EVENT GUIDE NASHVILLEFAIRGROUNDSSPEEDWAY.RACING 12
SUPER LATE MODEL PROCEDURES
Tire Procedures: Ten (10) tires will be allotted for use during the race. Besides the tires on the car at the start of the race, teams may only use six (6) more tires under controlled cautions conditions during the feature event without penalty or approval.. All tires for scheduled use during the feature must be purchased at the event from the designated dealer and be placed in impound. You will be allowed to have four extra tires behind your pit for emergencies if approved, but they must have been purchased and marked during the race weekend. Emergency spares do not have to stay in impound. You must start the race on the tires on which you qualified.
Teams may change a flat tire during the race with one of the emergency spares, without counting against their total, but the flat tire must be inspected before being touched by a crewmember and the team must have approval from officials before changing it. Once the race starts, teams may not get tires from another team. Officials will inspect and inventory the tires you have in your pits before and after the race, as well as track your usage during the race. We will not tolerate any attempts to circumvent these rules. Any violations in tire procedures will result in a 2-lap penalty per tire.
Qualifying Procedures: Qualifying procedure will consist of one complete warm up lap and two consecutive laps for qualifying. Once you take the green flag that is your only attempt to qualify. A blind draw (completed Saturday morning) will determine qualifying order. If you do not qualify in your proper drawn position, you may not start in the top 15 and will receive the slowest of your two laps as your official time. If you have issues prior to taking the green flag you will be placed on a five minute clock to present your car for qualifying and will be considered out of proper drawn position. After that time expires you will not be allowed to take a lap.
Starting Field: 1-20 from qualifying, 21-28 Two Provisionals for each series, 29-32 from Saturday showdown Race. Promoter reserves the right to add additional starters. If promoter elects to start all cars, without additional starters, qualifying will determine the entire starting line-up. If all cars will start, but additional starters are needed to do that, the full pay starting field will be the fastest 20 qualifiers, and the series provisionals, with the remaining being additional starters at $600 to start (Line-up will be based off of qualifying results). Pit stalls will be assigned in order of the starting line-up.
Controlled Cautions: This event will use Controlled Cautions up to lap 290 unless declared a quickie yellow. You can only take sticker tires during controlled cautions unless for an approved flat. A quickie yellow may be used if we have not completed 25 laps since the last controlled caution for an issue that can be cleared quickly. Controlled Cautions will consist of a 2-Lap NON-COUNTING grace period. Teams pitting under a Controlled Caution will not lose a lap as long as they return to the track in the designated 2-Lap grace period. Pace car will pick up field in turn 2. Pits are closed until lineup is established. Once lineup is established race control will announce pit road open next time and pit open flagman will show green. You can enter pit road when you get to entrance. Do not advance. That 2- lap grace period is only the first two laps that pit road is open after the cars have been brought to pit road. After the grace period, cars will lose positions and laps. When pitting under a Controlled Caution, the cars that pit the first time by will return to the track in the same order they were scored running in the race prior to coming to pit road , relative to the other cars that pitted, and will line up behind the cars that did not pit, as long as they return to the track within the stated 2 lap window. Any car that returns to the track AFTER that 2-lap window will not get their position back, will begin losing laps and must fall to the tail. Any car that pits and does not return to the track prior to the field receiving the “one to go” signal must restart at the tail of all cars. A Competition Caution will be thrown at the end of any run of 75 consecutive green flag laps. There will be NO Competition Caution thrown after lap 290.
SUPER LATE MODEL RACE PROCEDURES
1. Initial Start: The green flag will be displayed when the leader hits the start line coming off of turn 4 on the initial start. Cars must stay in their lane until the finish line. No jumping a start or passing before the start finish line. If a green flag lap is not completed on the initial start, there will be a total restart with all cars back in their original starting position except for any cars that are penalized, receive assistance or cars that pit. 2. Yellow Flag: There will be no racing back to the caution. When the yellow flag is displayed all cars must slow to a caution pace and bunch up as quickly as safety allows so safety crews can work on track. All cars must get single file and stay single file. The race is 300 laps counting yellows. If a yellow or red flag is thrown once the leader has taken the white flag there will be a green, white, checker restart. The event is completed after three green, white, checker restarts. No scuffing around workers on track. You will receive one warning thru your spotter, Any further issues and you will be parked for the remainder of the event. AA400 EVENT GUIDE NASHVILLEFAIRGROUNDSSPEEDWAY.RACING 13
SUPER LATE MODEL RACE PROCEDURES – CONTINUED
3. Cars Involved in the Caution: If you are involved, spin, slowed or your progress is disrupted by the incident, you will be positioned where you rejoin or blend back into the field – NOTE: the incident must play itself out before the order is set. Any discrepancies in line up will be determined by Race Control or may revert to the last completed green lap. Rough driving can result in penalties including being sent to the tail of the field or possible disqualification from the event. Cars stopping on the track to create their own caution will receive a two-lap penalty. 4. Pitting Procedure: You must stay single file behind the pace car during the cautions unless you are coming to the pits. Please see controlled caution procedures for detailed instruction. A maximum of two (2) tires may be changed or position swapped per caution period. If more than two tires are changed/swapped, a 2-lap penalty will be charged per tire. Only traditional tools and procedures may be used during a pit stop. Controlled Cautions, as described on the previous page, will be used for this event. Pit Road Safety: Crewmembers cannot go to their car until it is completely stopped in their pits! 5. Pit Road Speed: The pit road speed limit is 30mph, if a car goes over the limit, they will be black flagged for a stop and go penalty. Pit road speeds will be enforced with radar guns. Cars may not pass the pace car on track at any time (unless directed to do so by the race director). 6. Red Flag: All cars must stop as quickly and safely as possible when the red flag is displayed. Cars may go to the pits for crews to work on them, only after the officials have given them permission to do so. Cars pitting under red must re-start at the tail of the field. 7. Black Flag: Cars that receive the black flag must go to pit road immediately. If you do not go to pit road within 3 laps, your scoring will stop until the situation is rectified. Check with your spotter for guidance from race control. 8. Restart: Restart Line-up will revert to the last completed lap with any penalized cars or cars that pit going to the tail. Lead lap cars will be placed in front of lapped cars under yellow. Restarts will always take place at the white line coming off of turn 4. The restarts will be double file with lead lap cars in front of lapped cars in the order the cars were running on the track. Cars will double up as they reach the finish line when given the one to go signal in the order they are running. Leader gets choice of inside or outside, everyone from third on back lines up how they are running. Other than the first two cars, cars in the odd number restart positions will always restart on the inside. The leader should begin steadily increasing his speed toward the end of the backstretch and continue increasing speed through the start line. Leader’s car should hit the start line first when coming to green. No slowing, weaving, brake checking or decrease in acceleration once the pace car leaves the field. Cars must stay in their lane until the finish line. No jumping a start or passing before the start finish line. If a green flag lap is not completed before a yellow comes out all cars should go back to their prior position except for any cars that are penalized, receive assistance or cars that pit. 9. Wave Around: At the end of any caution period, any cars that are at the tail of the lead lap, behind the pace car but in front of the race leader will be “Waved Around” to pass the pace car and return to the tail of the lead lap cars, thus ensuring that the leader of the race will always start the race at the head of the field. Cars using the “Wave Around” cannot pit during that caution period. 10. Lucky Dog: At the time the caution comes out, the first car behind the leader 1 lap down will be deemed to be the Lucky Dog (as long as they are not the cause of the yellow). The Lucky Dog will stay in their position throughout the caution period (Lucky Dog may pit if they elect to), until directed to pass the pace car or drop to the tail of the field and have your lap added manually. Lucky Dog must always restart on the tail of the field. No Lucky Dog will be awarded in the last 10 laps of the race. 11. Slow Cars: Slow cars must stay on the bottom in the presence of lead lap cars during the race. Lapped cars that create problems for lead lap cars may be penalized. Lapped cars should let the leaders go by on the outside and then resume racing. Lapped cars that are repeatedly passed on the inside during the race may be penalized. Cars fighting to stay on the lead lap are not forced to yield to the leaders until they have been passed by the leader. 12. Last 5 Laps: The last five laps must be green, but do not have to be consecutive. The event can go over the advertised number of laps to facilitate a finish. If the event is extended to reach a finish you can lose laps. 13. Scoring: Transponders will be used for scoring. Teams must return the transponder to a scoring official before leaving pit road...There is a $400 PENALTY for failure to turn in your operable transponder. 14. Spotters: Spotters are required to be in the designated spotters stand during racing activities. Only one spotter per team is allowed in the spotter stand, no guest. Spotters must have the ability to listen to race control via a standard electronic scanner or dedicated radio at all times during the event. The frequency is 467.7875. Drivers should keep your spotter’s patient and polite; spotters keep your drivers the same. Tower will be monitoring spotters during the race. Spotters must be respectful to officials and other spotters at all times. If spotter leaves or is removed from the spotters stand you will be parked. 15. Post-Race: The top three finishers and series champions must go to the front-stretch immediately following the completion of the race. Other cars may be requested to go directly to tech.
