General Racing Rules- Understand that racing is not a contact sport, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Taking matters into your own hands is not advised. If you cause another driver to lose a position(s) by wrecking into them, you must immediately give the track position back. Report all incidents to the race steward and the tape will be viewed. If a warning or penalty is warranted, then it will be levied in probation, grid spots or possibly disqualification from the series.
- Do not block, run your line, make the driver(s) behind work for the pass without a "swerve" technique. There is no "one move" rule, if you dart in front of another driver on purpose, you are blocking.
- Returning to the track after an off, be careful, make sure there are no other vehicles approaching. If you cause an accident by returning to the track in front of other drivers, then you will receive a stop & go pit penalty.
-Track limits, you must keep two tires on the racing surface at all times. Two tires on the yellow line and two tires in the grass is off track. If you pass outside the track limits, you must give that spot back.

HERERace Day- Please show up at least, 15 minutes before posted race time. If you plan on racing and are running late, please post on the NSA Race Day forum. We will make every effort to accommodate each drive who wants to participate, within reason.
Qualifying- Race day qualifying will be set to 6 laps, (1 out lap, 5 hot laps). "Clean" qualifying laps will trump "Dirty" laps for setting the grid.
- Feature race starts will be rolling, set by ordering fastest qualifiers, on the out lap. Drivers will leave the grid, form up single file and proceed at a safe speed behind the pole qualifier. At a safe place on the track, before the final turn, drivers will pair up according to starting order. The pole sitter can call a green flag anywhere from the final turn exit, to the start/finish line, this will signal the start of the race.
*This procedure will also allow us to shake out the laggers. You may be asked to start from the rear of the field if lag becomes an issue for others on the out lap. Thanks in advance for your cooperation on this matter.*Race Restarts- Lag issues will cause a restart. If an accident accures with two or more cars with damage.

Race Lengths- Race events will consist of either (2) sprint races or (1) distance race.
- The grid for sprint race two will be set by fastest clean lap from sprint race one.
- Total race laps will very from circuit to circuit.
Caution Flags- If two or more cars are involved after lap one, a caution may be called by the affected. If "Caution" is called and confirmed by the race leader, all cars will slow to a reasonable speed, in order, so the fallen can catch up. One (1) full lap will be finished under yellow, upon exiting the final turn of the caution lap, the leader will have until the start finish to call "Green, Green, Green" to signal the restart of the race.
Pit Stops- The pits will be open during all feature races.
