RACE DETAILS

RACE FORMAT

Wheel to wheel racing with staggered start and corrected time. Each team will run a qualifying lap to determine start order – start order will be fastest qualifying time first and descending from there.

 

At the start line, Eugene will line everyone up. He will then drop the flag for the first car to start, proceed to the next car, give a thumbs up for all good and drop the flag for the next car. Eugene will proceed through the line in this manner until everyone has left the start line. Once you are set in the start line, you do NOT move until Eugene gives you the green flag.

 

Each driver must complete a specific number of laps designated for their class. Finish order will be determined by the time it takes to complete total laps. In the event, you don’t complete all laps of the race, the total number of laps you have completed at the time of curfew will determine your finish order.

 

Stock will race to 5 laps with a 1 hour curfew. If competitors have not finished their 5 laps within the curfew, their last completed lap will be their final lap count to determine finishing position.

Modified and Unlimited will race together. Your start order will be determined by your qualifying times as a whole group. Your finish position will be determined by class.

 

Modified and Unlimited will race to 10 laps with a 1hr 45 min curfew. If competitors have not finished their 10 laps within the curfew, their last completed lap will be their final lap count to determine finishing position.

*Parade laps will be a quick drive around the course as a group so drivers can familiarize themselves with the route. It is in your best interest to participate in the parade lap as this years course is different from than last season. We will go straight into pre-running/open laps right from the parade lap.

Pre-running must be done at a cruising speed – no more than 3/4 race speed.

NO aggressive passing. Use your horn when coming up on someone and allow them to pull over for a safe pass. Slower traffic should keep right to allow for safe passing.

All road crossing should be treated as a stop sign with right of way given to civilian/non-race traffic. Absolutely NO passing on roadways. DRIVERS must cross road in non aggressive manner and may accelerate 5 meters after crossing.

Vehicles will be flagged off course at 10:15 am and are asked to line up for qualifying parade lap. No vehicles will be allowed to enter the course after this time for pre-running.

If your conditional pass was due to a missing number plate/shark fin, you WILL be able to race without it but be aware, it is in your best interest in having a shark fin as this is the easiest number plate for lap counters to identify your vehicle – lack of number plate may result in miscount of laps.

Recovery crew will be stationed throughout the course. Should you roll over, get stuck, break down, etc. they are there to help you (ie: roll you back on your wheels, pull you out, assist you with tools, change a tire, etc.). Recovery is NOT there to do your work or co-driver duties, they are there to assist if they can in a safe manner.

You are allowed to continue racing after they assist you. There is no penalty for accepting their help.

PENALTIES
If you are assessed a penalty prior to or during the race (outside help, etc.), your penalty laps will be added to your race length meaning, if you are running Stock or Modified and you are assessed a 1 lap penalty, you will now have to complete 6 laps instead of 5 like the rest of the field.

If upon review, it is determined you received an infraction after the race has completed and you receive a 1 lap penalty, the penalty will be taken off your total completed lap meaning if you are running Stock or Modified and you completed 5 laps prior to curfew, your completed laps will be scored as 4.

Absolutely no nerfing or bumping other vehicles.

If you are caught by a faster car, please pull over when safe to do so and allow them to pass.

If you break down do your best to get off course so others may get around you.

CAR WASH INFO
DO NOT use the wash bays at the Free Flow Auto Spa! The traps/drainage become badly clogged with the clay/mud that comes off the race trucks.

 

FreeFlow will do their best to supply us with a water truck and fire hose that can be used to wash your race trucks down before you leave. This will be done in one central spot to not contaminate the parking area/pits with loose debris.
