GENERAL TRACK RULES

TROPHIES

Drivers must have 3 work bees in by year end to qualify for the trophies and 1 must be done by Memorial Race Weekend.

In order for a driver to be eligible to win the Memorial Race they must have raced at least 50% of the scheduled races in that class by the end of that race season, be a resident member of the TSCA, and have attended at least one work bee.

All major trophies must remain in the area subject to Club approval.

If a year end trophy is awarded to the same person for three years in a row, that person will be given a special award in recognition of his/her achievement.

16 & UNDER Trophy must not be 17 by the last points days in order to win that trophy.

ROOKIES

All rookie drivers must do at least 20 laps under the supervision of a Track Official before entering a scheduled race. Rookies must start at the back of the race line-up for one full race day, with the option of starting at the back for a maximum of five race days. A driver will be considered to be a rookie the following year if they have raced two or less race days.

Rookies who are aged 14 to 18 years who don't possess a valid BC Driver's Licence or a class 7 "L" licence must comply with special rules. See "14+ Driver Rules" section.

SUBSTITUTE DRIVERS

Each driver is allowed only three subs during a season but needs to sign a substitution sheet before the pit meeting starts.

A driver is allowed unlimited substitutes allowed for work bees but must let the person in charge of work bees know ahead of time.

If a driver travels more than 100 kms, work bees will be waived.

A driver may only have a sub in the car that he/she would normally have raced in.

A driver racing in "A" may not sub for his/her partner in "B" or vise versa. You must find another driver. This would also apply to a "C" driver-she would not be able to drive for her "A" or "B" partners if she is running in "C" that day. If she chose not to race in "C" that day then she would be allowed to race for her partners.

TIME-INS

For the purpose of time-ins, the race day will be officially started at the advertised time of the time-ins. Anyone arriving after that time will be considered late and may not be allowed to time in. If allowed to time in they will not be given any warm-up or practice time or extra laps.

Cars are allowed one time-in per driver. Cars will be timed for two laps and the faster time will be considered official. Cars may be entitled to one warm-up lap if time permits. Cars failing to time in on the first attempt may be allowed to re-time after all other cars are finished, if time permits.

If more than one car times in with an identical time, the first car timing in at that time will be considered to be the faster car for the purposes of line-ups, etc.

RACING

Drivers must alert themselves and read the pit board so as to be ready when called upon to line-up for their race. If a driver is not there when called, they will lose their position for that race. Races will not be held up waiting for cars to get to the line. A two-minute air horn warning may be given before each race starts.

The car in pole position is responsible for starting the race at a pace consistent with maintaining a proper formation of the cars in the rear of the field.

When an extra lap is signified by the Flagman, drivers are to signify this to the car behind.

The race is considered started when the green flag is dropped. Cars may immediately attempt to overtake competitors even though all the cars may not have yet crossed the starting line.

Cars entering the pits must slow down, go to the inside lane and signify to the cars behind them that they are leaving the track.

A car having mechanical trouble must move to the pit area or the infield. Any car that blows an engine or tire must immediately leave the track surface.

Cars entering the pit area during a race may be allowed back on the track only with the Pit Boss's permission and must obey the pit speed limit (walking speed).

In the event of a car stopping on the track or leaving the track during a race, the race will be stopped at the discretion of the Flagman. Cars assisted onto the track may continue the race at the back of the field if the car is deemed to be mechanically sound (Pit Boss's discretion).

After a car has been involved in a major accident and repairs are done, the driver may request a maximum of three laps, one time only, to determine if the car is fit to race. This is up to the Pit Boss's discretion.

Drivers involved in an accident or stopped on or near the track must remain belted in their car until the race is stopped! No one is to leave the pit area until a race is stopped and permission has been granted by the Pit Boss.

No pit person or non-official will be allowed on the track, infield, track exit or entrance during any race event, including red flag condition unless granted permission from the Pit Boss.

RESTARTS

Any car "spinning out", or if there is an accident, on the first lap of a race, will result in a restart. This restart will have all cars lined up in original position with no one being penalized. There will be only 1 "original line-up" restart per race.

In case of a red flag stoppage, all cars will line up single file on the back straight in the order they crossed the start/finish line according to the last completed lap sheet. Drivers must remain buckled in their car. The car/cars causing the red flag will be lined up at the back of the pack.

When a red or yellow flag is shown, competitors must immediately slow down at a rate so as not to "cut off" another car or cause another car to "rear-end" theirs. There will be no racing to the red or yellow flag as cars are restarted in the order they crossed the start/finish line on the previous lap.

In the event of a red flag, no cars may have repairs or adjustments done to them while remaining on the track. Refueling and engine cooling will not be allowed while the car is on the track. Tire changing must be done in the pits. Cars entering the pits during the race stoppage may return to track with the Pit Boss's permission and will restart at the back of the field.
