TECH
Fill out tech card completely and neatly. You must sign tech card if you are driving, including time trials, and if you are driving a different car.
- Prior to time trials, all cars must have received a pre-tech decal by passing a technical inspection. If you have a 2009 pre-tech decal on your vehicle you may report to the staging lanes with your completed tech card. If you have not been pre-teched for 2009, you must report to tech EVERY WEEK. If you do not report to tech and you run a time trial you will forfeit the event. Do not come to the lanes without your completed tech card!
- If you come after tech closes, you must contact an official to be inspected BEFORE you go down the track.
- You must finish eliminator in the same car as you begin.
- A driver may only compete in two classes per event.
- If your regular race car breaks before eliminations start in your class you may run another car. It must be teched and have the correct car number on it. You may race in another class and transfer attendance points (not round points). Please be sure to let the tower know of the change.
- If your car DOES NOT TAKE THE TREE AND GO DOWN THE TRACK, you can receive a pass good for another week (if it does not pass tech or arrives broke, etc) If it breaks after taking the tree you may race in another class.
- Round Robin Racing may become necessary. Round Robin Racing: after picking up ET ticket, return to staging lanes immediately. If water or gas is needed, make sure it is in the staging lanes. WE WILL RUN WITHOUT YOU if you are not in the lanes when your class runs.
