Rules and Procedures

The rules set forth below will be followed during the 2004 racing season. The rules will not change during the entire season. Each racer should read and understand the rules.  Products listed in this book are approved for the entire season.   No new rules or new items will be approved for competition once the season starts.  “If it is not specifically allowed it is NOT legal” 

 

Procedure Rules

 

1)         All racers will adhere to all rules and procedures of the USRA unless overridden here.

f) Drivers may not call “Track” only turn marshalls, if a driver calls track he/she will be penalized. 4)       Yelling at turn marshal’s is strictly prohibited.

5)         All racers are required to marshall the previous or next race. If any racer is not in their marshalling position at the time the race starts, that racer will be penalized by forfeiture of their place in the previous race, and any and all payouts that go along with that position. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

6)         The lap counter is assumed to be correct unless otherwise proven different. All added or subtracted laps must be corrected at the time of error. NO LAPS will be added or subtracted after the heat has finished.

7)         No Smoking in any of the raceways, this is a safety rule!!

8)         During the break between races only cars for the next race are allowed on the track.   Racer’s must also remove controller’s when done practicing.  Racer’s who go to the pits and leave their controller’s will have them removed by a Division 2 official.

9)         Any violation of the rules will result in the following:

a) Verbal warning.

b) 10 lap penalty

c) Forfeiture of race position and payout.

10)       All cars will be impounded at all times during racing and will not be returned until each racer has satisfied their marshalling duties. All impounded cars must be in complete race condition. (No missing parts).

There will be a short driver’s meeting each day to discuss rules, penalties and etc. and to address any questions racer’s may have.

 

There will be a 30 minute break between races for each class. The first 25 minutes the track will be on for practice.  The final 5 minutes the track will be OFF to allow racer’s to get their car teched in.  Tech will open after 15 minutes into the practice session. At the end of the 30 minute break all cars must be teched in no exceptions.  All racers must be in the tech line by the time it closes or that racer cannot enter that race. If a car does not pass tech and tech is closed that racer has one period of 2 minutes to correct the violation.

There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day, during the lunch break the track may be turned on but must be turned back over to the Division 2 after the break, during the break the raceway may charge for track time.

There will be a 15 minute time limit before each main, if qualifiers were necessary. Racers must use the same chassis and body that was used in the qualifier. The track will NOT be on during this time. Racers must have their car on the starting line before the 15 minute period ends. After 15 minutes, tech will be closed. Any racer participating in the main must have their car teched by a Florida Division 2 official before that car can participate in the race. If a racer does not have their car to the starting line by the end of 15 minutes, they must wait until the next heat to enter the race.

Race Format

All classes will be randomly sorted into qualifying races with the top eight lap count totals moving into the main for that class. If you win your qualifying race, you move to the main regardless of your lap total. If there are 14 or fewer racers, a sit out format will be used. If there are 15 or more racers, qualifying races will be used. There will never be more than 12 racers in any qualifying race.

Example:          20 entries will have 2 qualifying races of 10 racers each with 2 sitouts.

25 entries will have 3 qualifying races (2 with 8 racers, 1 with 9 racers)

All races will be run using a 2 minute on and 2 minute off format.

The total of all races will be tallied at the end of the racing season. Racers will be allowed 2 drops in the regular season. A disqualification (DQ) cannot be used as a drop

Commercial Availability

Major components for group and restricted racing (motor, motor parts, chassis, chassis parts, and bodies) must be readily available to all participants, sufficiently far enough in advance before the race event for all participants to be able to compete on an equitable level. Commercially available means that the product must be readily available through retailers, participating tracks and a minimum of three National USRA member Commercial Distributors at least 30 days prior to the race event. All new items will be published in the Florida Division II newsletter or online and have an approval date. The number of pieces required to be available is 1,000 pieces for Box Stock 15 motors, tagged armatures, restricted chassis, and restricted components and bodies. A product will be considered to be no longer commercially available after production has ceased: products in this status which have been approved for competition will continue to be legal for Florida Division II competition for a period of no longer than 2 years after production has ceased. All products, which are considered to be commercially available and restricted products, must meet retail specifications and must be sold at standard industry discount through approved dealers. Any product that is restricted in retail price by the USRA may be adjusted in retail price according to the annual cost of living, a maximum of 5% annually. These items include Group 12 and 15 armatures and motors, and Box Stock 15 Chassis.

Race Fees

All race fees will be $12.00, except for Amateur Nascar which will be $ 10.00. Of which, $9.00 ($ 7.00 for Amateur)  will go to the local track and $3.00 will go to the Florida Division II for box plaques, trophies, t-shirts, and to cover expenses incurred by the organization. These expenses include Newsletters, Rule Books, Awards, Paperwork, and Special Functions that include food and so forth. Spending is left entirely to the Florida Division II’’s Treasurer with feedback from the other Officials. All expenditures will be shared with any racer at any time. It is every racers right to understand the finances of the Florida Division II at any time.  Financial statements are available upon request but will not be published on the website.

Pay-outs

$ 9.00 ($ 7.00 for Amateur) out of every entry is paid to the host raceway.  Each host raceway will keep $ 5.00 per entry and pay-out the remaining $ 4.00.     Pay-outs will stay in the class they were collected.    The top 5 racers will receive pay-outs.   1st place will receive 35%, 2nd place 25%, 3rd place 15%, 4th place 13% and 5th place 12% of the total purse..

Protest Procedures

 

Any racer has the right at any time to protest a race or racer. The racer must protest the race or racer to any Florida Division II official before the next race starts. The decision of the protest must be satisfied before the next race begins. Any racer who suspects another racer is not within specifications may post a $20.00 general protest fee. This would allow any racer to protest any other racer’s car, or any part there of for $20.00 per car. The car, or any part there of, would then be torn down, but not burned to check the legality of all components. The protestor can protest the car at anytime. Once the car, or any part there of, is protested, it would then be marked and torn down at the end of the race. Upon inspection, the $20.00 protest fee would go back to the protestor if the car, or any part there of, is found to be outside of legal specifications.  The racer would then be disqualified immediately. If all aspects of the car were found to be within specifications, the $20.00 protest fee would be given to the racer whom was protested for rebuilding fees.  If however you want a car re-teched during a racing event you may post a $ 3.00 “buy a look” fee, the protested car would then be teched as if it were being entered in the race to make sure everything is still legal.   If the car is found to be illegal then the protested driver must fix any violations under green, and the $ 3.00 would be given back.   If the car is legal then the $ 3.00 would go to the owner of the protested car.     

Racer Classification

Any racer may enter any class with the following exceptions:

1) Amateur Nascar racers may enter the Expert race during the same weekend. Expert drivers will not be able to race Amateur NASCAR . Amateur NASCAR and GTP will be run with a breakout. Breakout for 2004 will be the same as the 2003 season and will be posted 1 month in advance on the Florida Division 2 web site.

2) Any sponsored driver will not be allowed to run in amateur Nascar.

3) Any driver that is a manufacturer, a distributor, a track owner, a paid track employee, or officer of the Florida Division II may race in Amateur Nascar classes as long as they have never been previously moved up.

4) The Florida Division II has the right to move any racer up to an Expert class as the officers deem necessary.

5) Amateur Nascar racers that finish in top 3 points in a class for the year, must move out of that Amateur Nascar class the following year.

6) Any driver may race GTP.  

Black Flag

The Race Director is authorized to black flag any car that is dragging, interfering with other cars or continuously de-slotting due to mechanical problems. Upon being black flagged, the driver must bring the car in for repairs immediately. If the driver does not correct the problem, the driver may be black flagged again. If the driver is black flagged for a second time, the driver is immediately disqualified.

Lane Change

Following each lane change, cars must be returned to the track where they stopped. Putting a car back on the track in an advantageous position will result in a warning, and later a penalty if this persists. When the car is removed from the track it is the driver’s responsibility to know where their car stopped. Drivers must use lane change cards to determine stopping position. Do not rely on just your memory. The marshal’s should notify the Race Director of any driver that is advancing their car. When going into a sit-out heat, the driver should write their name on the white lane sticker and attach it to the side of the track. The car must then go directly to the race director for impound during the sit-out. At the end of each race, no drivers should pick up their cars; the cars will be picked up by a Florida Division II officer.

Un-sportsman Like Conduct

Un-sportsman like conduct on the part of any driver or turn marshal will be subject to disqualification at the discretion of the Race Director. Verbal abuse or profanity will not be tolerated. The Race Director may first warn drivers, marshals, or pit men if their behavior is unacceptable. Serious or repeated violations will result in penalties or disqualification. Repeat offenders may be barred from future Florida Division II events.

Controller Specifications

 Any controller/choke may be used in any class except Amateur Nascar and GTP as long as the controller/choke uses no batteries or additional power sources to increase or regulate voltage or amperage at the track braid. Specifically prohibited are voltage multipliers or doublers, transformers, batteries, encapsulated components, and capacitors. Specifically allowed are simple wire chokes and diodes. These lower power but do not regulate. A variable choke operated by the driver shall not be considered regulated. Relays, if used, must be powered by the track current only. Controllers/chokes are subject to inspection by the Florida Division II officials to verify compliance with the above rules.   Chokes are not permitted in Amateur Nascar and GTP classes.
