Rules

Welcome to C & R Raceway

General

Raceway Responsibilities: 

1.        Raceway will open at 11 AM on race day.

2.        Racing will start at the scheduled time.

3.        Track time between classes will be a maximum of 30 minutes.

4.        Must provide a race director for the entire day. 

Racer Responsibilities: 

1.        Racers must participate in corner marshaling.  Racers must marshal the same class as they race.

2.        Cars must be available for tech-in during the race prior to the class you are racing.

3.        Anyone caught cheating will FORFEIT all points and winning for that class, on that day.

4.        Cooperation from everyone to conduct races on a timely basis.

5.        Sportsmanlike conduct is MANDATORY.

6.        Marshal abuse will NOT be tolerated.

a.        First offense will result in a deduction of 5 laps.

b.        Second offense will result in a 10 lap deduction.

c.        Third offense will result in an EXPULSION from that class for that day 

Drops:

 There will be one drop.  This allows everyone the same opportunity to miss one race whether it is a personal preference not to patronize the establishment or personal reasons, which may arise. 

Scheduling:

Scheduling may be subject to change.  Raceways will be notified immediately so that racers can be notified of any changes when at all possible. 

New Products:

All new products will NOT be permitted in the NC USSCA or S.C.O.R.E series unless it is approved by USSCA or S.C.O.R.E.  All slot car parts and bodies MUST BE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE!

 Lap Counter:

1.        The lap counter will be considered correct unless it can be proven otherwise.  If a major error occurs in the counting process that cannot be corrected, the race director may:

a.        Assign responsible stewards to count laps or verify the counter.

b.        Restart the segment.

c.        Restart the race form the last possible point.

2.        For a major error in counting, the steps taken should preserve as much of the race as possible, while remaining as fair as possible.

3.        There will be NO ADDING or subtracting of laps due to drivers inability to control his car or marshaling error.

4.        If the car skids past or over the counter, the car goes back on where it stops AFTER the lap counter. 

Track Calls: 

1.        The power will only turned off for extremely unfair or dangerous situations.  The following are the only acceptable reasons:

a.        Braid up.

b.        Power failure.

c.        Debris in the slot.

d.        An Unmarshalable car.

e.        Lap counter or track equipment failure.

f.         Insufficient number of marshals at President’s discretion.

g.        Too many cars off is NOT a track call.

2.        During the track call, there will be absolutely no work performed on the car by the driver.  The marshal can straighten out the braids and/or the body.  Pit helpers can help with fixing the body and.or braid but cannot "FIX" the car.  Doing so will result in a 20 lap penalty.  A second infraction will result in a disqualification.  This includes work on the car or lane by pit helpers of the driver.

Qualifying:

All races will be run in a round robin format (equipment permitting).  There will be NO QUALIFYING.  Otherwise, two consecutive races to be counted as one main.  Starting place will be determined by luck of the draw.  We will be drawing numbers or entry forms will be shuffled randomly.

Black Flag:

The race director is obliged to black flag any car, which is dragging, interfering with other cars or continuously de-slotting due to mechanical problems.  Upon being black flagged, the driver must bring the car in for repairs immediately.  If the problem is not corrected, the black flag may be enforced again as required.

Lane Change:

All drivers are required to use a lane change card in-between heats.

Protests:

Anybody can protest for a cost of  $10.00.  This fee will go toward the series general treasury.  Once this fee has been paid, a NORTH CENTRAL/S.C.O.R.E. official will take apart the car and check for any illegal parts.

Race Format:

For all NC USSCA classes will run 3 minute heats with a 2 minute lane change.  All SCORE oval races will run 2 minute heats with a 2 minute lane change.
