30 JAN 2016 Eagle Track Raceway Rules
Forward
Racing is a dangerous sport but a good sport, made up of men and women. There is no place for the trouble maker or the person who can see nothing but wrong: believing that every action of the officials is directed at him or her, or that rules are made to be broken. This person has no place in the racing business and should be left at the entrance gate of all race tracks.
Any association member determined to cause undue problems with the track may, at the discretion of Eagle Track Officials, have his/her membership canceled, without refund, and be banned from the track.
Responsibilities
The Eagle Track Racing Association will not be held responsible for any damage to any person or any car while in the pits or on the track. Each and every person is responsible for his or her own safety and well-being. These rules were made up to make our racing competitive and yet as safe as possible. So now it is up to you to make sure that you and your car are safe, as well as competitive. If these rules are followed faithfully when building and maintaining your car throughout the year, then we will have little to worry about, and the racing will be a lot more fun. Remember that you are not the only one on the track. If your car is not safe, then no one else racing will be either.
Rules
All rules contained herein are under complete control of the Eagle Track Racing Association. No rules will be changed unless deemed necessary by the Board of Directors. Safety related rules can be altered, or added at any time. A written notice will be posted on the internet seven days prior to any rule changes or additions going into effect. All rules apply as soon as the car enters the pit area.
Racing Association Membership (removed requirement to be a member to race)
Membership runs from one racing season to the next. Dues will be $50.00 per year for car and driver, and are due by the first race of the season to assure renewal of your car number. If you want to race without a membership it will be $20.00 extra per race.

CLASSES OF CARS
There will be four classes of cars at the Eagle Track:
A. Modifieds
B. Super Stock
C. Fever Four
TIME TRIALS (TIME-IN’s)
1. Time trials are eliminated. The order of racing events are: Heats, Trophy Dashes, then Mains
2. Drivers will draw numbers or roll a die to determine line up order for the Heats.
3. The first three laps of a heat may be designated as Hot Laps. The number of cars on the track is at the discretion of the Pit Boss and the Flagger. Typically, four cars from a heat will be sent out for hot laps. The cars will exit the track, make minor adjustments, as necessary, and, return to line up for the Heat. The idea is to allow for a tire change and perhaps adjust tire pressures. It is Not for Maintenance.
RACES
1. It will take four (4) cars to constitute a race. The parade lap will be a double row tight formation. Speed on the parade lap will not exceed an estimated 35 mph. if any car gets out of formation, or passes prior to the green flag, that car will be placed at the back of the pack on the restart. When the flagman starts the race by displaying the green flag the entire track is under racing green. A decision made by the flagman to restart and/or place a car at the back is final and cannot be appealed.
2. HEATS-We run eight (8) lap heats. The maximum number of entrants per heat is eight. If there are more than eight entrants, we run an A heat and a B heat. The first two finishers in each heat run the Trophy Dash. More heats will be added as necessary to comply with the eight entrant maximum per heat. Dash elimination rounds may be required if there are more than 24 entrants.
3. TROPHY DASHES- The four top finishers in each class will race in the trophy dashes. Dashes are five (5) laps. The fastest cars are in front. Remember, one dash per class.
4. MAINS-There will be a main race for each class running that day. Mains will be 25 laps (this number can be reduced for Safety). Fastest cars are in front. NO POINTS will be given for any “open competition” race. 50 lap races will be stopped after 25 laps, or at the discretion of the Flag Man to water the track. Cars will line up in order in the staging area during this stop. One (1) pit person may bring water only to the car. NO GAS OR WRENCHES.
5. POWDER PUFF-There may be a Powder puff race if there are four (4) racers. Races will be (10) laps, with a $5.00 entry fee.
6. MECHANICS-There may be a Mechanics race if there are four (4) racers. Races will be (10) laps, with a $5.00 entry fee.
RESTARTS: All restarts will be double file. All cars must stay nose to tail, until the Green Flag is displayed.
LINE UPS: Racing Start Positions will be determined by the results from the Heats. Fastest cars will be placed in the front for all races except the Heats. Heat line ups are determined by a random system. For example, drawing a number, or roll of a die. Late comers are in the back. Rookies will be identified by a ribbon and may be placed in the back, depending on the decision of the Flagger and the Rookie.
POINTS: Only members can earn points. Points are awarded by finishing placement of members. For example, if a member finishes third and behind two non- members; that member racer will earn first place points (toward the season championship) and third place payout.

Mechanics———-15-10-7-5-3-1-1
There will be season champion in each class based on total points earned. All member cars will receive points in any race if they complete at least one (1) lap. Position will be determined by the most laps completed when multiple cars DNF. Passing points have been eliminated.
