We do not race back to the yellow at ARP. On the start of any race or attempted start if any car messes up that car will be put to the back (no freebees). Rough driving will not be tolerated at all. If you cause a situation or make contact you will go to the back or be disqualified if officials deems it was avoidable. If a lapped car causes a wreck that takes a car out of the race that is on the lead lap that car will be black flagged or worse.
In the event of a wreck all cars involved will go to the back,
(black flag or put guilty party) to the back.
The only exception is that we will make a call on the lead car that is the only car that has a chance of getting his spot back or any car being took out by a lap car. The only flag to follow the white is the checkered in the event that a wreck on the last lap we will make a call on that situation but we may pay off of the last completed lap(white flag lap) or if we feel the outcome of the race was altered by the incident, or we will line the cars back up as they were before the incident & race the last 2 laps again..
In the event of a car being disqualified for fighting, speeding in the pits, unsportmanlike conduct after the end of any race, going to flagman stand & or announcers stand & or the officials, or cashier that car will lose all monies won. The money that car won will be used to help purchase jackets at the end of year, no other car will move up in position or points.
Rough driving will get you penelized or barred. Hitting cars during a race is considered rough driving, hitting a car after a race or under yellow is stupid & will not be tolerated.
If you can't control the car you are driving you need to move down a class.
