when the Official Scorer is asked by a driver who has competed in the Event to
submit a request for such re-check to Headquarters.
I. Scoring Re-check Procedure–
1. At the discretion of the Track Officials, or at the request of a driver, the
Official Scorer may review the results after the completion of the Event and
will make any corrections to the results as deemed appropriate including, but
not limited to, correcting missed or extra laps on the score card and lap or
time penalties pursuant to subsection 9-11, etc.
2. A driver must request a scoring re-check in person within 20 minutes after

finishing positions of an Event, including any individual race, time trial, or
qualifying race, shall not be considered official if a re-check is requested as
provided herein, in which case the results of the Event shall be considered
official upon the announcement of the re-check decision by the Official Scorer.
3. If the Official Scorer elects to request a re-check of the timing or scoring
of an Event, the Official Scorer shall promptly forward to Headquarters the
request and score sheets for the Event. If a driver who has competed in the
Event asks the Official Scorer, in a written and signed document, to request
such a re-check, the Official Scorer shall promptly forward to Headquarters the

service fee collected from the driver. Decisions of Headquarters on a scoring
re-check are final, non appeal able and non-litigable.

of a penalty notice. Failure to pay promptly may result in suspension. All
unpaid fines of a Member may be collected by deducting the amount from the purse
or point fund earnings of the Member, or if the Member is not a driver, from the
purse or point fund earnings of the driver or car owner with whom the Member was
associated at the time of the conduct that gave rise to the penalty notice. (Any
fines left unpaid at the end of the racing season shall be considered grounds
for refusal to approve the membership application for the next applicable year
of the Member against whom the unpaid fine has been assessed).
Race Procedures
Race is 150 laps. All caution laps will count. If a caution comes out after lap
140 lap cars will hold position and lead lap cars will advance so that all lead
lap cars are in front of lap cars.
Original Start will be by the flagman. Restarts by the leader. Restarts will be
single file. Restarts will be between the lines marked on the wall, passing to
the right only before the start/finish line. If you jump the start you will be
given a chance to fall back into line or you will be blacked flagged for a stop
and go penalty under green flag. Keep the field tight no erratic starts stay
bunched up to car in front of you When the caution comes out the leader as well
as the field should slow their pace down to pit road speed safely so that pace
car can get the leader. When the caution comes out the field will be frozen, no
racing back to the flag, please hold your position, if you feel you are out of
order pull up to the car in question and await word from the tower or the pit
steward. If you are not going to pit stay in the upper lane, so the cars wanting
to pit will have the inside lane for access to pit road. Cars may blend back in
line if able to move away from the crash and will be frozen in that spot. The
officials will make any judgment on to who is at fault When the caution comes
out – pit road will be closed; until the pace car has picked up the field – your
indication that pit road is open will be the green flag in turn 4 before the pit
road entrance. Pitting before pit road is open will result in being placed at
the tail end of the field. The red flag will indicate that pit road is closed.
Once the pace car has the field, cars may pull up to the pace car to pit, do not
pass the pace car! You may not advance the pace car to pit. If you pass the pace
car to pit it will be a ONE LAP penalty you may not pull up to the pace car to
pit once the one to go has been displayed. If you do so there will be a stop and
go penalty. Pit road speed limit is 25 mph. Pit road speed will be set on the
third parade lap. Do not pass the pace car at any time. You may however pull up
to pit. Once you have pulled up to pit you must pit or receive a ONE LAP
Penalty. Lucky Dog rule will be in affect (the first car one or more laps down).
Do not advance until instructed to do so by UARA Race Control. If you are the
cause of the caution you will not be the lucky dog that yellow. You may not pit
until you have been given your Lucky Dog Lap back, pitting before this time will
forfeit your eligibility for the Lucky Dog. If you are assessed a penalty you
will not be eligible for the Lucky Dog until the second caution after the
penalty. We will race back to the checkered once the white flag has been given
to the leader unless it is declared unsafe. We will make one attempt at a
green-white-checkered finish. No one will advance on the last lap by taking
another car out. You will be placed as the last car on the lead lap. Rough
driving will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly. Red Flag:
During a red flag no work may be performed on any car, working on your car
during a red flag will result in a 2 lap penalty. ( no exceptions )
If a driver enters pit road to avoid an accident slow to pit road speed and
blend in traffic when reentering entering track
