J. LINE-UP PROCEDURE

1. The following line-up procedures are not absolute. They may be changed for special events or at the discretion of the officials and/or the sanctioning bodies.

2. Sprint starting positions are determined by using a four week average. Only the races the driver competed in over that period are counted toward the average. The first two sprint races will be lined up by a draw, with a redraw for the A feature. Modified drivers will be inverted high-point average to the rear. Sprint drivers with the highest point averages will line up in the first 3 rows of the heats, their position inverted by point average (with high average to the outside 3rd row). Ex: 4 heats - invert 24 highest averages of drivers present; 24th lowest average on pole of first heat, highest average outside 3rd row of last heat. 5 heats - invert 30, etc. Drivers not making the invert will be lined heads-up by average starting at the 4th row.

3. New drivers start at the rear of their heat and any other event lined up by point average. Drivers missing 2 consecutive regular race nights, for any reason, are treated as a new driver for line-up purposes.

4. Sprints: The top 12 finishers in the heats (e.g. the top 3 in 4 heats or the top 4 in 3 heats) will qualify for the "A" Feature and be reinverted by point average. In the case of 5 or 6 heat races we qualify the top 3 per heat and invert the highest 12 in point averages for the A Feature. Depending on the number of heats, one (1) finishing position below the top 12 finishers, or those cars not in the top 12 in point averages (regardless of heat race finish) may be added to rows 7 and 8 in the "A" Feature. These added cars are lined up according to heat race finish.

5. Heat race finishes line up "B" Features and other "non-A" consolation features. Any car unable to start its heat race may be added to the rear of the lowest consolation feature. Depending on car counts the officials may run 2 (or more) "B" features and cars will be lined heads-up by heat race finishes.

6. Points stay with the driver, if you have a driver change from week to week or during a race night, you are required to contact the Pit Steward and inform him of the change before the close of sign-in. Any driver electing to start at the rear of their race must alert the Pit Steward prior to the close of check-in.

7. Driver change is permitted during a race program. An eligible driver may drive any qualified car in any event. The new driver starts at the rear of the lowest feature or heat race that he or she has qualified for. All points go to the new driver. Drivers who do not qualify for the next higher feature will not be allowed to compete in that higher feature event.

8. Any driver changes made without notifying an official will result in disqualification for the entire night and that car will start last in all events entered on the next race date.

K. RACE PROCEDURE

1. Flags

Eagle Raceway uses standard race flags (green, yellow, red, etc.)

BLACK: Driver must go to the work area. The driver will not be scored once the black flag has been displayed. A driver may return only to a Feature race, if the problem is corrected. With Sprint Cars, once a Green Flag is given you cannot return to the track.

"ROCKING CHAIR" FLAGS (White and yellow rolled up and rocked side to side): Two laps remaining.

Interpretation of the above flag rules is left to the discretion of the flagman and officials. Their decision is final.

2. At the discretion of the flagman, any driver jumping positions at the start of a race or restart, will be moved back or possibly black flagged, without prior warning. You must maintain a reasonable speed until the start of the race or restart.

3. If the officials feel a car's speed, smoke, loose parts, etc. are causing or may cause a safety problem, it can be black flagged.

4. Red / Yellow Flag Procedures

Yellow Flag Procedure:

a. Once the green flag is displayed, cars spinning out and/or causing a restart, stopping, or "involved in" the mishap, will go to the rear. The restart is two-abreast line-up in case of a first lap incident or single file if one or more laps are completed.

b. If the red flag is displayed during a race, all cars shall come to a complete and immediate stop. Cars should not block track entrances/exits, emergency vehicles, push trucks and wreckers.Crew must remain behind the fence line until notifed that the track is open. You must enter the track from corner #1 or #2. Violations will result in disqualification.

c. "Lone Ranger Rule:" Any modified spinning without contact, and forcing a yellow flag in a heat or B feature may be black flagged.

d. If the red or yellow flag is displayed as a result of your car or driver's actions, even if it is still moving on the track, you will restart at the rear of the lineup. Example: debris on the track that causes a yellow flag to be displayed will cause the car leaving the debris to go to the rear of the field.

e. During a 360 sprint event only, any car that does a 360-degree spin and at the discretion of the officials causes a yellow flag, the car is placed at the rear regardless if that driver continues to race after the spin.

f. If the race is stopped on any lap due to a yellow or red flag before all contestants have crossed the start/finish line, only those cars not crossing the finish line prior to the yellow/red will be lined up according to the previous lap (but not placed ahead of cars who did cross the line.) Those involved in the yellow or red will be moved to the back of the lineup.

g. (Applies to SPRINTS ONLY): If a yellow flag occurs with 5 or less laps in an A feature, lapped cars will remain in line up, but move to slower part of track on restart.

h. A car may only go to the pits twice in one race, but will not be waited for and cannot re-enter track after green flag occurs.

i. If a yellow or red flag occurs on the white flag lap of a race and the leader has not taken the checkered flag, the race will be restarted with two laps: Green, White, Checkered. This procedure will be continued until the race is finished.

j. "Involved in" is defined as: disabled and/or momentarily or temporarily detained at the scene of an accident and unable to race. If a car stops on the yellow and was not part of the incident, the officials' deem the driver stopped for safety reasons, or was directed to stop by an official - that car may return to the line-up in the position before the yellow flag was displayed.

k. Any car that causes 2 yellow flags, red flags, or combination in the same race, will be black flagged and not allowed to return.

l. After the yellow flag is thrown, drivers must get into single file line one lap after the pace vehicle has entered, if safe to do so. Any driver not lining up may be sent to the rear. Fellow competitors must allow cars in or be sent to the rear.

m. During features only, a car may work in the pits on a yellow/red flag. Sprints must go to the designated work area. Any Sprint car going to their pit stall from the racetrack on a red/yellow flag is done for that race. Cars going to pit/work area are placed at the rear in the order they return to the track. A car is allowed to return to the race only if it can improve its position. Sprints can not return once the race has restarted. The work area is only for persons repairing the car.

n. Any car entering the pits and not able to return before the green flag occurs, will not be allowed to re-enter the race.

o. In the event of two red flag starts or three yellow flag starts, lineups will be single file based or your original lineup position. Cars involved in the mishap go to the rear

5. If after a yellow or red, and a two-abreast start is needed, and starting positions are vacant, cars behind the vacant spots will move forward to the next row if a green has been taken. If a green hasn't been taken, or a car will move ahead more than one row, the remaining positions will "criss-cross" to the next higher starting spot.

6. There shall be no electronic communication between the driver and pit crewmembers during any race event.

7. Time or lap limits will be imposed on all heats, dashes and features if deemed appropriate by officials.

8. Once the line up has been set for a feature or heat race and you are not on the track, you will tag the back of the field. For features only, if the race goes yellow or red and a lap has not been completed, you may enter the race at the back of the field.

L. GENERAL TECHNICAL

1. Mufflers are not required on sprint cars. Sprints may use Schoenfeld 112535. If mufflers are used, they must be welded to header. Loss of muffler will result in disqualification. Part number stamp must be welded so that it is visible to be inspected. No modifications will be allowed to the muffler.

2. There shall be no electronic communication between the driver and pit crewmembers during any race event.

3. No tarps, false panels, covers, etc. may be used at any time during the night whose purpose is to conceal, disguise, or divert attention from components of a car. Officials must have an unassisted view of items within the scope of the bodywork regulations set by the appropriate sanctioning body.

4. We will test fuel from any participant any time during the night. If the fuel tested is illegal, all points/monies are held and a sample will be sent to a lab. All other finishing positions in the race will be "as run" and positions will not change until a decision is rendered. If the results are verified by the laboratory that the fuel was illegal, the car, driver or both will be disqualified for that event and receive no points or money. In addition, they will be required to pay for the lab test and will not be allowed to participate in the next two events for their class.

5. No traction control devices allowed. Penalty is a one-year suspension and $10,000 fine. Eagle Raceway reserves the right to impound suspected parts to have them checked by the manufacturer or lab for alterations.

6. Top 4 cars must also stop for inspection before entering the pit area. Cars outside the top 4 may also be inspected. Points and money will be forfeited if a car fails to stop for weighing and/or inspection. Any car found to be underweight will lose all points and money for the night and all other finishers move up accordingly in the final results. If a technical violation is found, the car loses all points and money for the night and starts at the rear of their next heat races. If the violation - in the opinion of the officials - is a major infraction the car will start at the rear of all races on the following night.

M. POINTS

1. All points described herein are dependent upon each car displaying stickers of the contingency sponsors at all times. Decals must be visible to the grandstands and placed in an appropriate manner. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of all contingency awards from such sponsors.

2. IMCA Points System will be used in all classes:

IMCA points: "A" Feature: 1st - 40, 2nd - 39, 3rd - 38, 4th - 37, 5th - 36, 6th - 35, 7th - 34, 8th - 33, 9th - 32, 10th - 31, 11th - 30, 12th - 29, 13th - 28, 14th - 27, 15th - 26,16th - 25, 17th - 24, 18th - 23, 19th - 22, 20th - 21, 21st - 20, 22nd - 19, 23rd - 18, 24th through all other "A" Feature starters - 17. "B" Feature(non qualifiers): 1st - 16, 2nd - 15, 3rd - 14, 4th - 13, 5th - 12, 6th and lower- 11. All others not qualifying for A or B feature - 0 as per 2008 IMCA Natl. rules.

<3. In order to qualify for a feature event, a driver must be running on the track or take the green flag in their heat. If you do not run in a heat, you may run the lowest consolation feature. If you do not take a green in any feature or heat, you will not receive show up points or show up pay. Show up pay is for drivers who make an attempt to race by taking the green flag.

4. Should two or more drivers have the same point totals, the number of weekly feature wins will be the tie-breaker, then second place finishes, etc. until the tie is broken.

5. We will not run provisional or alternate positions during a weekly show. Any driver who has qualified for a feature event, but is unable to run will be scored in last place in that feature. During a special event a driver may or may not be added to a feature depending on the rules for that event.

6. Any driver who qualifies to the next highest feature event forfeits all points and money from the previous race and remaining cars move up in points accordingly. For example, if the top 4 finishers in the "B" Feature advance to the "A" Feature, the 5th place finisher in the "B" Feature gets points and money for first place in the "B" Feature.

7. It is the driver/owner's responsibility to notify an official of any point discrepancies prior to close of check-in.
