TEAM RULES:

1. Team Car - Only one car is allowed per team.

2. Teams - Each team consists of 3 or more drivers (4 to 5 is ideal).

3. Driver Changes - Teams may change their driver as often as desired during a segment. (Please be respectful of other teams by trying not to block their view). Each team member should get a significant amount of driving time. Teams who have members doing the majority of the driving are discouraged.

4. Team Marshal - Each team is required to provide at least 1 track marshal at all times.

RACE RULES:

1. Pre-race tech. – Prior to the start of the racing, each car entry will go through a pre-race tech consisting of a visual inspection based on the car rules. Cars will be impounded before the race.

2. Race – 45 minute segments each lane with a brief intermission (~5 minutes) in between. Each team will change lanes after each segment, rotating thru all 7 lanes once.

3. Dry Tires and Braids – The cars’ tires and braids must be dry at all times when on the track. Tire “goop” is not allowed. Braid “juice” is not allowed.

4. Maintenance & Repairs - All work to the cars is to be done “on the clock” during the race. Major car repair should be taken to the team “garage” area. If glue is used for repairs, it must be completely dry before the car goes back onto the track. Breakable parts (mirrors, wipers, etc.) do not need to be present/repaired/replaced.

7. Track Calls - Once the race starts, it will only be stopped for a track call due to marshal damage or for cars which land on the floor.

8. Missed Laps – Due to the nature of this event, it would be difficult to accurately account for any missed (uncounted) laps. Therefore, laps missed for any reason will not be included into the lap totals.

9. Post-race tech. – At the completion of the race, all cars will be impounded for a post-race tech consisting of a teardown inspection for adherence to the rules. One car at a time will be tech’d according to the finishing order 1st thru 4th. A representative of each team will be asked to dismantle their car for inspection by the officials.

10. Finish Order - Each team’s accumulated lap total (and successful post-race tech inspection) determines the race finish order.
