Track Policies, Procedures, and General and Specific Class Rules for 2008

GENERAL STATEMENT:

The following rules, policies, specifications, and requirements have been designed to maximize safety and to afford all participants the chance to compete fairly at the Winnemucca Regional Raceway (referred to below as the Raceway; the facility). Nonetheless, racing is by its nature a dangerous activity. No express or implied warranty of safety shall result from publication of or compliance with these rules or regulations. In no way does compliance with the rules or regulations provide a guarantee against the possibility of injury or death to a participant, spectator, or official.

We have attempted to make as many as possible of the rules and regulations adopted here similar to those in force at other area tracks in order to enable cars from one area to compete at other area tracks without requiring that changes be made or expense incurred by competitors. In some instances, we have added to others’ requirements or specifications or made other rules changes where we believe the changes provide greater safety. These changes or additions may require that changes be made to cars or equipment before they may compete.

Track officials and management shall be empowered to permit reasonable and appropriate deviation from any of the specifications herein contained or to impose any further restrictions that in their opinion do not negatively impact the minimum safety requirements. Such deviations or further restrictions do not guarantee safety.

Any interpretations of, or deviation from the rules provided, or alterations or additions to the rules and requirements shall be at the sole discretion of track officials and their decisions shall be considered final. In the event of protests of outcomes of events or comments concerning findings of the technical inspectors, these protests or comments should be submitted in writing for review.

ENFORCEMENT:

Track officials shall be responsible for enforcement of the track rules and regulations at Winnemucca Regional Raceway. Track officials shall maintain the right to refuse admittance to the Raceway to any person or group at any time, and to have anyone causing interference or disturbance removed from the property.

AGE LIMITS:

All drivers must have attained the age of 15 years in order to be allowed to compete. Those without a driver’s license must provide a valid picture identification card showing clearly their date of birth. Those under the legal age of consent must also have a written form releasing the Raceway and officials from liability and giving parent’s or guardian’s consent to compete. Such forms must be signed by a parent or guardian and notarized.

No children under the age of 15 shall be allowed in the pits prior to the Drivers’ Meeting without adult supervision.

No children under the age of 15 shall be allowed in the pits after the Drivers’ Meeting, with or without adult supervision.

CONDUCT:

Remember that without fans in the stands there will be no racing, so show them respect in your conduct. Similarly, without track operating personnel and officials, there can be no racing, so treat them with respect also. Most have volunteered for their jobs, and it is through their efforts that you are able to race here.

Courteous, professional, and sportsmanlike conduct is required from all participants at all times. Profanity will not be tolerated in front of race fans, or to track officials or management.

Any fighting or physical confrontations shall subject the offender to suspension, at the discretion of track management, for a minimum of one race and up to being barred from the facility for the remainder of the racing season. Any driver, car owner, or pit crewmember that causes trouble at another car’s pit area shall be suspended as well.

All drivers are considered to be responsible for not only their own actions but also for the actions of their car owners, pit crewmembers, and pit guests while at the facility. Drivers risk, at a minimum, disqualification and forfeiture of all monies, points, and/or trophies for the day’s race events in the event of incidents related to any such individuals.

Remember that we are representing not just the Raceway but also our community to visiting participants and spectators. Make it proud!

Any protests, complaints should be put in writing and submitted to track management promptly for consideration. We want, with your help, to operate the best racing facility in Nevada.
