 5. Track officials are not allowed to draw for any reason.  Line-ups will be made after the draw has closed.  Car must be at track in order to draw.  If you have not drawn, you will run tailback.  If you want to run tailback, please inform the officials at the draw.  If one car does not make the line-up, all cars behind that car will move straight forward.

 6. The flagman will start all races, no cone, no line.  Stay nose to tail, when you see the green flag or green light you are racing.  Leaders must maintain a reasonable pace until we go green.  Pay attention to the lights, if the lights are out you will be getting the green

 7. The pole car will set the pace, which shall be consistent with track conditions and as required to keep the field in nose-to-tail formation.  If you are out of line, the yellow flag will wave and you will go to the rear.  The race is officially over when the checkered flag is thrown.

 8. The only flag to follow the white is the checkered, unless the track is completely blocked or in case of fire.  In this case, the race will be paid from the last completed lap.  If the leader has taken the white flag and has a clear path to the checkered, the checkered will be thrown.  If not, a yellow will be thrown and cars lined up (minus the cars in the yellow) and we will go green/white/checkered.  If a yellow has to be thrown during this restart, the race will be over and paid from the last completed lap (minus the cars in the yellow/red).

  9. The pole car should set the pace at a reasonable speed.  Do not keep the pace so slow that the cars behind are ‘bogged’ down.  Flagman may signal cars to pick up speed.  If this signal is ignored, flagman may put that car on the rear.  This includes single file restarts.  It is up to the front row to set the pace so that the race is started evenly.  If this cannot be done in two attempts, one or both cars will go to the rear.
