the track. If you want hot laps, listen for the call, for your class. Be ready to go when it's your turn.
6. DRIVERS
MEETING:
When a driver's meeting is called, it is up to you to attend. Important information may be given. If you have
questions, now is the time to ask. If, by chance, no driver's meeting is held, it is the responsibility of the new drivers
to talk to the officials about anything they don't understand.
7. LINE-UPS:
Line-ups will be posted on the pit
board, no later than 7:45 pm. The race order will be posted also. If you scratch, please notify an official as soon as possible.
If someone scratched in front of you, move up, do not criss-cross. Know when you race. It is your responsibilty to know when
your race is up. Cars pushed from the staging area must start scratch. The first heat race of the evening MUST be lined up
in the staging area, before the National Anthem. Anyone NOT lined up will start scratch in their heat race. PLEASE KEEP YOUR
MOTORS SHUT OFF DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!
8. POINTS:
Points go with the driver, not the car. No driver changes
during a racing event. Make sure that the driver that went threw the draw/check-in line, is the driver racing the correct,
registered car. If you have driver changes or number changes, a new registration must be filled out along with paying the
$25.00 registration fee. For driver changes, a number modification will need to be done. EX: John Doe races car 01 the first
night of racing; Jane Doe races the same car the next week, Jane must register the same car, pay the $25.00 registration fee,
and use a diiferent number or add something to the end of the 01, such as 01x.

crew in line.

4-wheelers. Any abuse of the privilege of using a 4-wheeler in the pits, will have the right taken away. All ATV's must be
registered at the office with a copy of the insurance on record. No one under the age of 16 will be allowed to drive a 4-wheeler/ATV.
11. STARTS:
The pole driver has the responsibility to get the cars lined up, bringing them around at a reasonable
slow pace. The race does not start until the green flag is displayed by the flagman. The flagman, not the green light, starts
the race. If you jump start or are out of line on the start, you will be put to the back of the field. Upon completion of
the race, if it goes green to checkered, you will be penalized at the end of the race. If there is a caution, you will be
penalized at that time, whichever comes first. The flagman may move one car or both front row cars to second row at his discretion.
12. ORIGINAL RE-STARTS:
Original restarts will occur if a mishap happens before the exit of turn two, and ALL
CARS WILL GET THEIR POSITION BACK. If a car has to go to the pits for repair, they will return to the rear of the field. It
is up to the flagman where the mishap is ruled to have taken place. Any mishaps bringing out the caution after turn two will
result in original restart with those involved in the mishap going to the rear. At the flagman's discretion, a single file
restart may be used, at any time. In some instances, the flagman may call for a complete original restart for any wreck, on
lap one.
13. SINGLE FILE RE-STARTS:
The cone will be placed on the back stretch of the track. Stay above the cone,
in single file, nose to tail, until you have passed the cone. If you hit the cone, or go under the cone, you will be put to
the back of the field.
14. HEAT RACES:
If you are not ready for your heat race, you will scratch. NO SWITCHING
OF HEATS WITH SOMEONE ELSE, OR RUNNING IN A LATER HEAT RACE WILL BE ALLOWED. You should be ready to race when you come through
the pit gate. Officials may change the number of laps. If you are a late arrival, you will be placed in scratch position,
in the next available spot.
15. CASH/DASH:
These will be run at the track's discretion.
16. FEATURE RACES:
The number of laps in the feature is determined by race promoter before the start of the race. If there are too many cautions,
the time limit rule will apply.
17. PAY WINDOW:
PAY WINDOW CLOSES 1 HOUR AFTER THE LAST RACE! If you do not
pick up your money before the pay window closes, you can pick it up after the end of the next racing event. It will be in
the office for you. Do not stand at the pay window for back pay. Drivers will be allowed to remain longer (and camp overnight
if desired) in the general parking area of Hutchinson Raceway Park.
