2022 “Silver Dollar RC” Dirt Oval Rule Book
LEGAL NOTICE:
Silver Dollar RC DIRT OVAL “RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE”
We are a privately run Race track operating at a privately owned facility. If we feel a racer and his/her actions are detrimental to our sport and racing community, we can and will refuse race entry and participation.
*** Final decisions regarding rules interpretation are solely at the discretion of the RaceDirector ***
GENERAL RULES
RACE FORMAT:
HEAT RACES:
Each racer will participate in two heat races. All first round heat racers will be randomly sorted, and all heat races will use a rolling start. Heat races will be resorted when needed and time allows between rounds based on the most laps in least time. The fastest racers from round one will be resorted together and will make up the “A-Heat” of round #2. After the resort, you will be sorted into a heat with racers who performed similar to your first round time if time allows for this.
MAIN EVENTS:
All classes will run 40-50 lap mains events. The 6 racers depending on track size in each class with the fastest single round times will qualify straight into the A-Main. The next 6 will be in the B-Main, etc… Top 2 finishers in each lower main will bump up to the next higher main.
MAIN EVENT GRID LINEUP:
All main events will be lined up according to qualifying position. Lower main transfer drivers will start in the back 2 spots. If a racer cannot make the call for a Main Event, his/her position will be left open, and they will receive the last place points for the main event they were scheduled to race in. There will be no alternates, and we will start in missing man formation. The racer earned that spot, and will not lose it.
TRACK PRCEDURES:
During practice there will be no driving from the back stretch or of putting cars on the track at that part of the track. Drivers should be on the driver stand during practice so that they can call out their car stuck on the track and to hear other drivers as well call out their car.
Turn marshal may not work in or repair cars. All cars must enter and exit the racing surface via the pit lane or designated on/off areas at all times. Nay cars damaged and placed in the infield will remain there until the race is over. All drivers must turn marshal the race immediately following their race. All cars will be made available for tech inspection before and after each race. Once a car has gone through tech before the race is must go directly to the track and not to the pit area. All cars must have a personal transponder, or it will not be scored.
RACE FORMAT:
8 cars maximum per heat race and Main Event. There will be no fewer than 2 rounds of heat races, unless poor weather or other uncontrollable circumstances arise.
SCORING ISSUES:
In the event that laps may have been missed by the scoring system, please let the race director know IMMEDIATELY after the race in question. The race director, will investigate the situation. It is a judgement call for the race director, based on several factors, including but not limited to: if the system has been having issues or not, and if the race director witnessed the missed laps. If the race director does not witness missed laps first hand, the only other method to be awarded all appropriate laps is to have video evidence of the race to verify lap totals/timing. It is the racers responsibility to have transponders in perfect working order. The race director will do everything possible to ensure proper scoring in any event, but a non-scoring transponder is not the race director’s fault.
Silver Dollar RC RULE BOOK DISCLAIMER:
Silver Dollar RC rules are based on the DODC rules for 10th scale classes.
