Rule Book Additions and Amendments (effective 2002 racing season)

In order for a driver to protest another car he/she must have raced at least 50% of the race season prior to the day of the protest in the car he/she raced that day.

In the case of A & B drivers of the same car being tied for points the driver that had the fastest time in that year will be considered the A driver.

The first 4 workbees each person attends will be worth 25 points each. The next 2 will be worth 50 points each. No race day points will be awarded to a driver that has not completed at least 1 workbee. A driver that has not attended a workbee will still be encouraged to race and be eligible for race day trophies and all other rights but will not receive race day points. All other drivers will receive their points as though the offending driver had received points.

  40. SUBSTITUTE DRIVERS (per resolution passed at June 3/99 General Meeting) Each driver is allowed only 3 subs during a season including work bee subs. A driver may only have a sub in the car that he/she would normally have raced in. A driver racing in “A” may not sub for his/her partner in “B” or vise versa. You must find another driver. This would also apply to a “C” driver-she would not be able to drive for her “A” or “B” partners if she is running in “C” that day. If she chose not to race in “C” that day then she would be allowed to race for her partners. If there is a “scenario” that is not covered by the above resolution, it is to be discussed and ruled on at the track at that time by the full executive. If time does not allow for discussion, then the “scenario” will not be allowed and it will be discussed and ruled on at the next general meeting.
