In the event that we do take samples, this will be announced on website, Facebook in advance of event and during drivers meeting in the event we are sampling. It is entirely up to drivers and car owners as to whether this problem goes away.

TIRE PROTEST:  Any driver wishing to protest the tires of someone finishing ahead of them can file a protest by getting proper paperwork from EBRP Tech, filling out properly and giving the properly filled out form + $125(cash) protest fee for each tire you want tested to Flagman on front straightaway before entering pits.  Samples will then be taken and sent to Blue Ridge Labs to determine if tire is treated or not.

A competitor found with any of the above mentioned will lose the complete device permanently and will lose all points earned to that point in the season. NOTE: A competitor may be asked for his electronic ignition at any time by the Technical Director to be sent for testing and inspection. Failure to hand over the electronic ignition will result in the holding of any purse monies won.

 

  • GPS and/or any other type of electronic tracking and/or locating device will not be permitted for

any reason.

Race Line-up procedures:

  • All drivers will pull a pill or pull tab for starting position in heat race. Only driver will be allowed to pull pill for car he is driving.
