B. Rules of Procedure

B.1  All cars are subject to inspection by the Technical Inspector, Promoter, Race director, Pit Steward or their designee, at any time or place.

B.2  All drivers and cars must be licensed by DIRT or GENESEE SPEEDWAY to compete.

B.3  Rookie drivers, as determined by the Drivers’ Committee, Promoter, Race director, Tech Inspector or Pit Steward will be required to start a minimum of three race meets in the scratch position.

B.4  Any driver who continually gets into trouble without good cause or appears unable to safely handle his car will be counseled at the direction of the Promoter, Race director, Tech Inspector, Pit Steward or any GENESEE SPEEDWAY official.

B.5  All drivers shall use diligent effort to be ready to compete and have their cars in line promptly when called.

B.6  No car will enter the track under any condition (white, yellow or green flag conditions) without permission of an GENESEE SPEEDWAY official. 

B.7  Pit crew members will not be allowed on the track unless requested by an official.

B.8  No repairs or adjustments will be made while on the track during any yellow flag period. Repairs or adjustments that can be accomplished without tools and without delaying the restart may be made by the driver only during a red flag period. Any car that pulls off the track during a restart situation will automatically restart in the scratch position. In the event that more than one car pulls off the track the last to return will be scratch, with the others completing the end of the field. (POLICY: a violation removes the car from that particular race not necessarily the entire show.)

B.9  The Starter has complete charge of the track. Drivers shall immediately comply with the Starter’s commands, whether given verbally, by hand signal, or by flag.

B.10  In addition to those who have qualified, a bubble car may be started and go out for the A-Main. When the initial white flag comes out the bubble car shall pull in if the correct number of qualified cars are running on the track. If the lineup is short, the bubble car shall stay on the track and compete from the scratch position.

B.11  All original starts will be at the drop of the green off the fourth corner. A cone, pole or other device may be used to indicate the spot where the race starts. Cars shall remain in line until the race starts. Any car passing prior to the drop of the green will be set back by the Starter at the next caution or at the end of the race (which ever comes first). Two positions for each car passed. (POLICY: leaders may be sent back 1 row by the Starter if a yellow is thrown due to a bad start.)  Cars may not pass any Pace vehicle unless directed by an official.  Violators may be sent scratch for passing a Pace vehicle.

B.12  UNDER REVIEW.  If there is an accident, the field will be restarted with the car or cars causing the restart, plus any stopped car, going to the rear of the field.

Restart positions after the first lap shall be per positions of the cars when the yellow or red flag, and/or lights, was displayed. The leader will pick up the pace coming out of turn four. No car may check-up causing cars behind to slow down. Violators may be sent to the tail of the field,

Restart position challenges shall be settled by the official’s best judgment and that may include using the last lap scored. Some re-starts may occur without a white flag to save time. In that event the Pit Stewards will signal by pointing flags.)

B.13  The Promoter, Race director, Tech Inspector or Pit Steward  will enforce the technical rules and shall have the authority to deny a car permission to race based on their judgment of it’s condition relative to such rules.

B.14  All racing must occur on the racing surface as defined by the Promoter, Race director, Flagger, Tech Inspector or Pit Steward except where movement off the racing surface is necessitated to avoid an accident.

B.15  The Promoter, Race director, Tech Inspector or Pit Steward will enforce the rules of procedure and conduct and determine sanctions as they deem most appropriate. Any suspension in excess of two race meets including the meet of the infraction, must have concurrence of a majority of the Promoter, Race director, Flagger, Tech Inspector or Pit Steward.

B.16  Any rule or specification may be altered, deleted or added at any time by the Promoter.

B.17  Ample space must be left on a prominent part of the car, to be set forth by the officials, for participating GENESEE SPEEDWAY sponsor decals. These decals must be displayed at all times absent a special exemption by the Promoter or Race director.
