Any driver racing that day may protest against another car in their class, racing that day, which he/she believes may be running illegally.

1. Protests must be completed and handed to a Track Official within 30 minutes of the completion of the day's last race.
2. Protest forms will be available at the pit board.
3. Results of a protest will be made known at the next general meeting.
4. The protested car will be impounded after the race day so a teardown may be done.
5. Teardowns will be done at a mutually agreed-upon location.
6. Teardowns must be attended by one owner or designated person from the protested car, the protester, and the Tech Crew. No others are allowed.
7. There will be a protest fee of $100 which will be held by a Track Official until the completion of the teardown. If the car is found legal the $100 fee goes to the car owner. If the car is found to be illegal the $100 fee is returned to the protester. A sealed engine may be protested. However if any seal is to be broken, the protest fee will be $300 with the same conditions as above. If a sealed engine is found to be legal the protester will pay the $25 resealing fee as well.
8. The protester must specify whether he/she is protesting the car's engine or the rest of the car. The $100 fee is for either the engine or the rest of the car, but not for both.
9. If the car is found to be illegal all drivers of that car will lose all points and trophies earned on that race day. If the same car is found to be illegal a second time in that season the drivers will lose all their points for the entire season and will disqualified from the running for any year-end or other major trophies.
10. A protested car's driver has 15 minutes from the time the protest is brought to his/her attention to counter-protest the protester's car.
11. Cars torn down will be inspected thoroughly, however if something is overlooked or not caught during a teardown, do not assume that everything is necessarily legal. If a car is torn down a second time, the results of the first teardown will have no bearing on the second.
12. Cars breaking the track record will be automatically torn down by the Tech Crew and engine seals will be checked.
13. FUEL PROTEST (voted in at Aug 5/99 General Meeting): A driver racing that day can protest the fuel of another car in the same class. There will be a $50 protest fee, $15 of which is to cover the cost of testing chemicals and equipment. The other $35 is for the teardown. If the fuel is found to be legal, the protested car gets the $35. If the fuel is found to be illegal, the protester gets the $35. Penalties are the same as any other protest.
