2022 Honor
Speedway (C.R.A., LLC) General Rules & Procedures
Revised July 17, 2022
SPORTSMANSHIP
– Racing is a very emotional sport. As such, good sportsmanship is the key
element of any competitors racing program. This must include respect
for all track officials and a willingness to accept their decisions and
directions, and respect for all
participants – drivers, owners, pit crews and their families. For our part we will
make very effort with our rules regardless of whom or what is involved. We will
treat all participants with respect and expect similar treatment in return. A
racer’s pit area is his/her castle – therefore please stay out of other
racer’s pit areas, especially after an incident where you have been involved
with that racer. Drivers – remember that you are responsible for the actions
of your crews. Any offending parties will be fined appropriately and
disciplinary actions will be initiated as deemed necessary.
While
we recognize your right to express opinions, good or bad, on social media,
however, owners, drivers and crew should, be advised that threats against
officials, other drivers, crew or family members will not be tolerated. Any
action by a driver or crew which appears to be the execution of a threat will
result in penalties via suspension and/or fines against the driver and/or car
owner. The driver and/or car owner will ALWAYS be held responsible for the
actions of members of their crew.

J. LINE-UP PROCEDURE
1. The following line-up procedures are not absolute. They may be changed for
special events or at the discretion of the officials and/or the sanctioning
bodies.
2. On the first event, all heat race line-ups will be determined by pill draw on
the event in question. Low pill will
be on pole in heat #1, second low pill on pole in heat # 2, etc.
The winner of the first heat in each division will draw a pill for any
possible inversions. A 4, 5 or 6 row
inversion is possible, depending on the pill drawn.
The remainder of the cars, after the inversion, will line-up “heads
up”.
3. From second night on, all
heats will be determined by current IMCA line-up procedures, using incoming total
points average, lined up totally inverted,
with new drivers carrying no points average lined up to the rear, excluding
"Rookies" (see # 9).
4. B-Mains (when needed) are
lined up "HEADS UP" with the highest finishing non-qualifiers to the
front.
5. From second night on, when two
heat races are run, the top 10 qualifiers will be inverted for feature line-up
according to point average (number of total feature points scored, divided by
number of races run). When three or more heat races are run, the top 12
qualifiers will be inverted for feature line-up according to points average.
The remainder of the field will be lined up "heads up" after the front
rows are inverted, excluding new drivers and "Rookies" (see # 9).
6. Any new driver that qualifies
and does not yet have a points average shall be lined up in the 11th position on
a ten (10) car invert, and in the 13th position on a twelve (12) car invert.
7. Heat race or sign-in points DO NOT calculate in the points average.
8. Points average will also
determine the line-up for rookie contenders for their first five events, and
will apply as stated above thereafter.
9. All non-experienced or “Rookie” drivers must start at the rear of the field for the first 3 races (exception – if Honor Speedway officials (CRA) feel that the driver is exhibiting decent driving skills, 3 race minimum may be waived).
10. First time attendee driver’s start at the rear of their heat. Drivers missing 2 consecutive regular race nights, for any reason, are treated as a new driver for line-up purposes.
11. On occasion, a race fan out
of the grandstands may be asked to participate in the inversion pill draw, with
the addition of the pill ALL, meaning the whole field (with the “Rookie”
exception) will be inverted.
12. If a trophy dash is utilized, the first two cars from each heat race will be
placed into the trophy dash, lined up inverted according to the heat race
finish.
13. Any car unable to start
its heat race may be added to the rear of the lowest consolation feature.
Depending on car counts the officials may run 2 (or more) "B" features
and cars will be lined heads-up by heat race finishes.
14. Points stay with the driver, if you have a driver change from week to week
or during a race night, you are required to contact the Pit Steward and inform
him of the change before the close of sign-in. Any driver electing to start at
the rear of their race must alert the Pit Steward prior to the close of
check-in.
15. Driver change is permitted during a race program. An eligible driver may
drive any qualified car in any event. The new driver starts at the rear of the
lowest feature or heat race that he or she has qualified for. All points go to
the new driver. Drivers who do not qualify for the next higher feature will not
be allowed to compete in that higher feature event.
16. Any driver changes made without notifying an official will result in
disqualification for the entire night and that car will start last in all events
entered on the next race date.
K. RACE PROCEDURE
Honor Speedway uses standard race flags (green, yellow, red, checkered etc.)
1. Green Flag Procedure
a. The “original” start is located at the orange cone, inside turn
four, when the flagman displays the green flag.
If the front row does not stay aligned at turn four, the flagman, in
their discretion, may “wave off” this start, and the yellow light will come
back on. The flagman will give the
pole sitter and/or the front row 2 opportunities to start the race, and may then
elect to move the front row to the tail of the field.
Once the green flag is displayed, the race is on, and passing is allowed.
Any driver caught “jumping”
the start will be penalized two (2) positions, either at the next yellow flag,
or at the completion of the race.
2. Black Flag or Meatball flag (black with orange circle)
a. A rolled up black flag will be pointed as a warning device. If the
flag is waved at you, you will exit the track as quickly & safely as
possible. You will no longer be scored once the black flag has been displayed.
If you spin out twice on your own in any race, you will be black-flagged, and
scored in the last place position of cars remaining when you exited the track.
If you drive in a reckless manner, or if you hot-lap during warm-up laps
preceding a race, you will be black-flagged, and will receive NO points.
Once driver is in the pit area, they will not be allowed to re-enter the
racing surface. Interpretation of the black flag rule is left to the discretion
of the flagman and officials. Their decision is final. Any car emitting
excessive oil, water, fuel, smoke, mechanical parts or if it is determined by
staff that your vehicle is not complying with the muffler/exhaust rule, you will
receive the “Meatball” flag and must exit the track.
That driver will be scored in the last place position of cars remaining
when they exited the track.
b. At the
discretion of the flagman, any driver advancing (“jumping”) positions before
the start of a race or restart, that driver will be moved back 2
positions, either on the next restart, or docked 2 positions at the end of the
race. If a driver commits this offense twice in any race, the driver will be
black-flagged, and will be scored in the last place position of cars remaining
when they exited the track. You must maintain a reasonable speed until the start
of the race or restart.
c. If the
officials feel a car's speed (or lack of speed), loose parts, etc. are causing
(or may cause) a safety problem, it can be black-flagged.
3. Red / Yellow Flag Procedures
a.
Once the green flag is displayed, racecars causing a yellow flag by spinning
out, stopping, or being "involved in" the mishap, will go to the rear
of the field. The restart is a two-abreast line-up in case of a first lap
incident or single file if one or more laps are completed. Cars
"involved in” the yellow will line up at the tail of the field in the
order of their last completed lap.
b. "Involved
in" is defined as: disabled and/or momentarily or temporarily detained at
the scene of an accident and unable to move forward.
c. If the Red
Flag is displayed during a race, all cars shall come to a complete, safe and
immediate stop. Cars should not block track entrances or exits, emergency
vehicles, push trucks and wreckers. No crew will be allowed on the racing
surface. Violations will result in
disqualification. No repair work is
allowed on the vehicles during a red flag situation.
d. If the red or
yellow flag is displayed as a result of driver's actions, even if it is still
moving on the track, you will restart at the rear of the field. Example: debris
on the track that causes a yellow flag to be displayed will cause the car
leaving the debris to go to the rear of the field.
If a track official removes a part from the vehicle, due to
safety concerns, that vehicle will restart at the rear of the field.
If a track official stops a car, or a driver stops to ask a track
official to inspect a loose part, determines it does not need removed, the
driver will be re-placed back into the position of their last completed lap.
e. If the race is
stopped on any lap due to a yellow or red flag before all contestants have
crossed the start/finish line, only those
cars not crossing the finish line prior to the yellow/red will be lined up
according to the previous lap (but not placed ahead of cars who did cross the
line.) Those “involved in” the yellow or red will be moved to the back of
the lineup.
f.
If a yellow or red flag occurs on the white flag lap of a race and the leader
has not taken the checkered flag, the race will be restarted with two laps:
Green, White, Checkered. This procedure will be continued until the race is
finished.
g. In
the heat race, any car that causes 1 yellow flag (1 spin rule), the driver will
be black-flagged and sent to the pit area, and scored in the last place position
of cars remaining when they exited the track.
h. In the feature, any
car that causes 2 yellow flags, red flags, or combination in the same race, will
be black flagged and sent to the pit area, and scored in the last place position
of cars remaining when they exited the track.
i.
After the yellow flag is thrown, drivers must get into single file line, if safe
to do so. Any driver not lining up may be sent to the rear. Fellow competitors
must allow cars into place in the single file line or violators will be sent to
the rear of the field.
j.
Any car leaving the racing surface and enters the pit area will not be allowed
to re-enter the race.
k. During the initial start, in the event of two red flag starts or three
yellow flag starts, lineups will be single file based on your original lineup
position. Cars involved in the mishap will be placed at the rear of the field.
l. If after a yellow or red, and a two-abreast start is needed, and
starting positions are vacated, the immediate cars behind the vacant spot(s)
will move to the next row forward.
4. Checkered Flag -- The checkered flag indicates the
conclusion/finish of the race, when the lead car crosses that imaginary line,
regardless of how many laps the rest of the cars have completed. If
a yellow or red flag occurs after the leader has taken the checkered flag, the
race is considered over, those succeeding cars will be placed in the position
they were scored in the previous lap, and the “involved in” cars will be
placed accordingly, at the tail of those cars scored on that lap.
5. Blue with diagonal orange stripe
– typically called the “Move Over Flag”, this flag indicates to a driver(s)
that the leaders are approaching, and slower drivers are asked to “Hold &
Maintain Your Racing Line”.
6. Restarts
a. Restarts are lined up single file.
The leader will restart the race somewhere approximate to the orange cone
in turn four, and then the flagman will display the green flag.
Racers must stay in single file formation until the green is displayed,
and at that display, may attempt to pass. Any
driver caught “jumping” the restart will be penalized two (2) positions,
either at the next yellow flag, or at the completion of the race.
7. There shall be no electronic communication between the driver and pit
crewmembers during any race event.
8. Time or lap limits will be imposed on all heats, dashes and features if
deemed appropriate by officials.
9. Once the line up has been set for a feature or heat race and you are not on
the track, you will tag the back of the field. For features only, if the race
goes yellow or red and a lap has not been completed, you may enter the race at
the back of the field.
L. GENERAL TECHNICAL
1. Mufflers are recommended on all
cars, capable of keeping the muffler sound below 95dB (measured at 100
ft. from edge of racing surface). Complete
exhaust system must be leak free and remain intact for the duration of the race.
Failure
of exhaust system, or muffler fails to keep engine noise below 95dB – Driver
will receive the “meatball” flag, and must exit the track at that time, but
will receive the appropriate finishing position as they exited the track. No
modifications (exception: mounting tabs) will be allowed to the muffler.
2. There shall be no electronic
communication between the driver and pit crewmembers during any race event.
3. No tarps, false panels, covers, etc. may be used at any time during the night
whose purpose is to conceal, disguise, or divert attention from components of a
car. Officials must have an unassisted view of items within the scope of the
bodywork regulations set by the appropriate sanctioning body.
4. Honor Speedway (C.R.A.) Tech. Officials reserve the right to test fuel from
any participant any time during the night. If the fuel tested is illegal, all
points/monies are held and a sample will be sent to a testing lab. All other
finishing positions in the race will be "as run" and positions will
not change until a decision is rendered. If the results are verified by the
laboratory that the fuel was illegal, the car, driver or both will be
disqualified for that event and receive no points or money. In addition, they
will be required to pay for the lab test and will not be allowed to participate
in the next two events for their class.
5. No traction control devices allowed.
Penalty is a one-year suspension and $10,000 fine. Honor Speedway reserves the
right to impound suspected parts to have them checked by the manufacturer or lab
for alterations.
6. Top 4 cars must stop for inspection before entering the pit area. Cars
outside the top 4 may also be inspected. Points and money will be forfeited if a
car fails to stop for weighing and/or inspection. Any car found to be
underweight will lose all points and money for the night and all other finishers
move up accordingly in the final results. If a technical violation is found, the
car loses all points and money for the night and starts at the rear of their
next heat races. If the violation - in the opinion of the officials - is a major
infraction the car will start at the rear of all races on the following night.
M.
PROTESTS (in
accordance with IMCA & Honor Speedway)
1.

All
competitors not qualifying for A or B feature – 0 points.
3. In order to qualify for a
feature event, a driver must be running on the track or take the green flag in
their heat. If you do not run in a heat, you may run the lowest consolation
feature.
4. Should two or more drivers have the same point totals, the number of weekly
feature wins will be the tie-breaker, then second place finishes, etc. until the
tie is broken.
5. We will not run provisional or alternate positions during a weekly show. Any
driver who has qualified for a feature event, but is unable to run will be
scored in last place in that feature. During a special event a driver may or may
not be added to a feature depending on the rules for that event.
6. Any driver who qualifies to the next highest feature event forfeits all
points and money from the previous race and remaining cars move up in points
accordingly.
7. It is the driver/owner's
responsibility to notify an official of any point discrepancies prior to close
of check-in.
O. Rain Outs
If
there is a rain out called prior to the events of the evening getting underway
or up to 55% completion (this includes all class heats and all class
features), you will need to hold on to your pit pass from the event for
entrance to the next event. Pit passes are only valid at the very next event
held at the speedway. If there is a rain out called after running 55 % of
the events, then the evening is considered complete and no rain out tickets will
be issued or pit passes honored.
One lap over half-way through an
"A" Feature event shall constitute a complete race in the event a race
is stopped due to bad weather. If a race is stopped by use of the red flag and
is ruled completed, the finishing positions will be paid according to the last
officially scored lap by the leader previous to the red flag. Any car or cars
red flagged will be put to the rear of the line-up of official finish
