The clock will start when the green flag has been displayed and will run continuously until the number of laps is completed or the time runs out. 15 minutes allowed for heats and 25 minutes for features.

3) If the time expires under the yellow flag, the race will be restarted for a green/white/checkered finish.

6) All karts must weigh immediately after exiting track after finishing each race. If the kart weighs light, the driver is allowed to roll off the scales, have the scales reset, and re-weigh one time. If the driver leaves the scaling area he/she forfeits the right to re-weigh.

TRACK PROCEDURES:

1) When entering the track, the track will be under “yellow”, this means enter slowly

and cautiously.

2) Scrubbing tires will be allowed under yellow and on the straight only.

3) Flagman will give all drivers a rolled up green flag to indicate he will be g

going green the next time around and for everyone to stay in line.

4) No one is to approach any racing official on the track or in the score tower once

the initial green flag has been thrown. If a non driver enters the track during a

race that person will be escorted from the facility. If a driver has a question for

the officials, they must wait until after the checkered flag is thrown. Please

conduct yourselves in a proper manner.

STARTS:

1) The race will start when the field is leaving turn 4 at a reasonable speed,

everyone is lined up correctly and the flagman has waved the green flag.

2) The field must make a complete lap to be an official start. If this does not

happen, there will be a complete restart.

3) The field has 2 double file starts to complete a lap. After that, the field will be

lined up single file with the karts that caused the false start at the back.

RESTARTS:

1) Once there is an official start, if a yellow or red comes out, we will go to a single file restart.

2) Restarts will be done single file with a cone coming out of turn 3. The field will be lined up single file, and as they come out of turn 3 and pass the cone on the outside, as long as everyone is lined up correctly, flagman will give the green flag. Passing is not allowed until you pass the cone. If you hit the cone on the restart, you will be scored as last place.

RACING AND RACING ACCIDENTS:

1) If the yellow or red flag comes out because of an accident or spin out, the kart or karts causing the yellow flag to come out will go to the back of the field. In the Rookie, Jr. 1 and Jr. 2 classes, three spins will be allowed before being sent to the pits. In the Light/Heavy/Open and other classes, 2 spins will be allowed before being sent to the pits. If your kart dies or needs to be shut off during this process, you will be allowed to restart.

2) In the event of a red flag, the running participants should carefully drive to the front straight, stop in a single file and stay in their karts until otherwise directed. Any kart causing the red flag condition will not be allowed to restart.

3) On a red flag, if you go to the pits for any reason and then return before going green, you will go to the back of the field. If a red flag is thrown and you are stopped on the track, only one person will be allowed on the track to restart your kart or do VERY MINOR repairs.

4) If the red flag comes out because of a possibly serious accident, we will allow a family or crew member out to the accident only after the track personnel feel it is safe to do so. Everyone else needs to stay back so that the injured party can be assisted. Once the track is clear, the races will resume.

POST RACE:

1) Immediately after the heat races, the karts should exit the race track and go straight to the scales to be weighed. Upon authorization from tech person, they will be directed back to their pits.

2) Immediately after the feature race, feature winner will take a victory lap with the checkered flag. Everyone must then exit track and be weighed. The top two karts in each class will be directed to the tech area. Our track has a list of numbered tech items. The head tech person will draw a random pill number to determine what item will be teched that night. The top two karts in each class will be teched. If any kart is found to be illegal, they will lose their points for that night and will not be allowed to race at the next scheduled race.

3) A motor may be protested by a class competitor for a fee of $100. The protest must be made to the race director or the head tech person by the end of the following race on the track or with in 15 minutes of the end that race. If the motor is found to be in violation of the rules the person who protested the motor will recieve $75 back. The other $25 will go to WMS. If the motor is found to be not in violation, the person belonging to the protested motor will recieve $75 dollars and the remaining $25 will go to WMS.

SPECIAL NOTES:

1) Rookie class: There will be one person allowed in the infield to assist the rookie driver.

2) Any driver that scratches from a race needs to inform a track official as soon as possible.
