SERIES RULES

Everyone needs to be on teamspeak3 to race Sprints and Series events. .

#1 NEW DRIVERS :WE ARE GOING TO PUSH THIS RULE MORE SERIOUSLY THIS SEASON ABOUT NEW DRIVERS RUNNING IN SPRINT RACES TO SEE IF THEY CAN RACE IN THE MAIN RACE. We welcome all new drivers, you must come and run on Saturday

Nights, between 7:30 et to 9Pm et, to run some 10 lap sprints with the guys , to prove you can run well enough to race in the main events ( series ) The admins will vote after the sprint races to determine if a new driver will be racing in the main race , if you need help with tally settings please ask :)

# 2 CONNECTION ISSUES : When Admins tell you to go to the back due to serious warping because of wifi, you must ASAP safely. If not, Admins will park you. “ if you fall or dropout during the race or before we take green flag we will give back a max of 5 laps until you reach -1 lap down. It is your responsibility to alert an admin that you are back on the track and tell the admin you would like your laps back. The admin will confirm with you on how many laps you are down and start the lap back process. If you are the lucky dog when a caution comes out you will get your lap back on next restart. The Admins will announce on Team speak which car/truck numbers are the lucky dogs and to pit the 2nd time by and take 4 tires and fill it up with gas.

# 3 SERIES RULES : No restarts if its a broadcasted race. If the race is not broadcasted we allow 1 restart if a wreck happens before the completion of lap 1. Double file starts and restarts. Leader gets choice of high or low. We do have a 2 incident and park it rule. If a driver who wrecks 2 times and brings out a yellow flag in the race and without a doubt is his or her fault, you will need to park. Also if you cause an incident and bring out a yellow flag, or you are not 100% sure you did not cause the incident, you must serve the penalty by
pitting the 2nd time by and take full service(4 tires and fuel) and DO NOT SPEED coming in or out of the pits please.. If you are in fact deemed responsible for the incident after the post race review, and did not serve the penalty, you will suffer a 1 lap penalty post race.

# 4 EVERY CAUTION : you race back until YOU get YOUR yellow flag. Once you have received the yellow flag hold your position. While racing back if you hit other car you could be charged with an incident or a reckless driving penalty post race. So race back under your own risk. The admins will review any penalties that occur on the export report post race

If you were not responsible for an incident but get caught up in it somehow and spin out or get hit or whatever and get passed by other cars and lose some positions before we take the caution, you do not get your original spot back. You must carefully merge back on track and get in line at that time.

# 5 WAVE AROUNDS : We do have wave arounds. If you get caught behind the pace car and in front of the leaders. Alert the race admin you are a wave around car and would like to go to the tail end of the field. The admin will tell you when the lights go out on the pace car to drive around to the end of the field and he will clear your black flag on the restart. WAVE AROUNDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A PITSTOP!!”

# 6 BLACK FLAGS : Black flags will be cleared on the start and restarts. Just call out your number and say BLACK. Other black flags may be granted but will be checked post race. Speeding penalties and entering and merging improperly when pitting cannot be cleared.

# 7 BLOCKING : If your block causes a wreck you will be charged an incident. If the incident is on the last lap you will receive a 1 lap penalty during post race review. Here are some guidelines to help with understanding blocking: 1. You must be established in the line you are trying to block. If you make a 2nd movement in an attempt to block you could be charged with an incident, if there is a wreck or you damage the other cars/trucks involved. 2. Take into account your speed vs their speed. If you’re running 190 mph and they are running 200 mph chances are good that the block is going to end up in a wreck or damage. Blocking or defending your position is a risky decision that you need to weight before making it. Blocking/ defending your position is as much a part of racing as is steering wheels and checkered flags. It’s ok to use it just don’t abuse it

# 8 WHEN THE CAUTION COMES OUT : (( NEW RULE )) RACE BACK EVERY CAUTION ! IF YOU CAUSE A INCIDENT YOU WILL BE CHARGE AN INCIDENT .

# 9 GREEN FLAG PITTING : When going down pit road, you should try and stay as far to the right as possible

# 10 TEAM SPEAK : Please race chat only during the race and keep it brief. There will be no negative comments towards any drivers or situations. NO FLAMING or CUSSING. If you make a mistake, kindly apologize.. you may not think it means much, but in the long run, it does.. FAILURE to comply Team Speak behavior may result in a post race penalty and or immediate ejection from the race. We all get frustrated at times by drivers during the race. You may yell and swear all you want, just don't key the MIC . If you did have an issue with a driver, please get with an Admin after the race and let him know.

# 11 RECKLESS DRIVING RULE : (( VERY SERIOUS ))

Reckless driving will not be tolerated at Talladega Nights. Reckless driving will be considered anything unnecessary in the normal course of a race.

Examples are: aggressive driving, door slamming that leads to an accident, Passing under the yellow line, failure to maintain your line, retaliation and anything the admin's deem reckless and unnecessary during review of the race.

1ST OFFENSE - WARNING
2ND OFFENSE - PARK FOR NEXT RACE.
3ND OFFENSE - PARKED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON.
( DRIVERS NEED TO LOOK AT WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE ANY PENALTIES )

If it continues you will be asked to leave Talladega Nights Racing league.

#12. STARTS/RESTARTS:

The race is started/restarted by the green flag. Do not jump the green. If found you did jump the green flag you will receive a -1 lap penalty, last place points and an incident post race.

The leader must pace at 68 TO 72 mph. The leader also has his choice of high or low on restarts. He must make announcement on teamspeak before lights go out on pace car.

When the lights go out on the pace car. Drivers must get into their position (f2 button will show the running order). You need to maintain your lane and keep within .3 sec of the car in front of you. If a car is lagging back the driver behind them will advise them to move up. If they do not move up, let race admin know and it will be looked at post race. If they are found to be lagging back to far they will be warned the 1st time and could receive a -1 lap penalty post race if the problem continues.

No talking on teamspeak once the leaders enter into tri oval.
