Contingencies/Awards
Certain other products manufacturers will
be awarding contingency to drivers finishing in the feature and
year end point standings. These awards are dependent upon
the manufacturer decal being carried on the race car. If you
wish to be eligible to receive awards from the manufacturers
concerned, it is your responsibility to ensure that the correct
decal is affixed to your race car. Also, please be aware
that the SRRS responsibility is ONLY to provide the manufacturer
with your name and address, and not to pay the award. All
cars finishing the feature races will be checked by series
personal for the appropriate decals.
Drivers will be required (mandatory) to carry decals of primary series
sponsors in order to be eligible for SRRS posted awards including
point fund monies.
Any other SRRS sponsor decal that is carried on the car must be affixed prominently. There is no compulsion to carry any other sponsor's decal, however, it is worth bearing in mind that sponsor only put money into the series to gain exposure for their products—no exposure will eventually mean no money and therefore smaller purses for races and championships.
Technical Inspection
Technical Inspection will be held at an
area designated by the Technical Inspectors, and all cars must
sign in and pass through Technical Inspection before going out
onto the track. No Exceptions. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in forfeiture of Qualifying Time. When the car is
presented for Technical Inspection the hood must be removed.
All race cars must pass through Technical
Inspection before Driver’s Meeting. ALL race cars must pass
Technical Inspection before a Technical Sticker is issued.
Any changes or alterations required must
be completed, and the race car returned to Technical Inspection
before Hot Laps - No sticker means No Hot Laps - No exceptions
Spot-checks can be made by the Technical Inspector at any time, and penalties will be applied to cars found illegal after Tech stickers have been issued. If a car is found illegal after qualifying, the Driver will lose his time and start at the rear of a Heat race. If a car is found illegal at the start of a Heat race, must be corrected and have to start at the rear of a heat race. Corrections must be made in the pits. All race cars are subject to be inspected by the SRRS Technical Director at any time during the event
Hot Laps
All Drivers will be allowed one (1) Hot Lap Session Hot Laps will be conducted in Groups in order, as per the Draw. Drivers/Teams are responsible for knowing what Group the Driver/Team is in. Lineups will be posted at track posting stations in the pits. Drivers must Hot Lap in their assigned Groups. If a Driver does not make it to the staging area in time for his assigned session, that driver will not be allowed to Hot Lap. No Exceptions.
Qualifying
As with Hot Laps, Drivers must qualify in
order, as per the Draw. For example, the first 10 cars in the
Qualifying Line will be Group 1, etc. Drivers must be in staging,
in order, when the first car in their group goes on to the track,
or that Driver will forfeit his Qualifying Run, and start from the
back of the Heat Races or B-Mains. No Exceptions.
Cars will either be weighed before or
after Qualifying, depending on the layout of the current race
track, this will be determined by the Officials.
All cars that are judged to weigh light
crossing the scales after qualifying, will lose their Qualifying
Time/Points and will start at the back of a heat race or B-Main
Race. If there is more than one car that has been judged light,
those Drivers will be lined up at the back of the heat races or
B-Mains by the Qualifying Order. Pull car off scales (1) time and
zero scales.
Three groups or less and the top three in
each group will be locked in from qualifying. Four or more
groups and the top two in each group will be locked in from
qualifying.
Cars will be allowed two consecutive
green flag laps for time trails.
If you are unable to make your qualifying spot you must notify a series official and you will be allowed 1 lap at the end of qualifying.
Race Format
Drivers will qualify and run heat races
with their specified group based on qualifying drawing position.
Drivers qualify and heat race with the SAME group. Number of
heats/qualifying groups used will be based on car count with a
goal of a maximum of twelve (12) cars per group. Qualifying will
determine the line-ups for heat races within each group.
Starting lineup for each group/heat will
have the fastest qualifier on the pole, 2nd fastest on the outside
front row, 3rd fastest on the inside second row, etc.
Heats will be run in order based on each
qualifying group's driver with the lowest qualifying time - with
heats sorted in ascending order by the lowest elapsed time within
that group.
The qualifying group that has the driver
with the lowest elapsed time will be heat number 1. The remaining
qualifying group that has the driver with the next lowest elapsed
time will be heat number 2, and so on.
If a driver is locked in to the race and
has to use a back-up car to start the feature, they must start at
the tail-end of the field. However, the back-up car must retain
the same number. This does not apply to a motor change.
Any driver locked in to the feature that
unable to attend a race due to a rain out can start a substitute
driver in his car, but they must start in the rear of the field.
The original driver will be awarded zero points.
In the event a field or partial field is locked in, but is rained out. The driver must have the same number when returning for the new date.

The two highest ranked driver’s in the
SRRS points that fails to qualify for the Feature will be used for
the SRRS provisional to fill the 23RD, and 24th starting
position.
The promoter has the option of starting a
25 car for the track provisional.
If you use a provisional you must go
three races before you are eligible for a provisional.

Restarts after race is underway will be
single file.
Once the white flag is shown there will be no cautions you must race to the checker flag, unless the track is completely blocked. If track is completely blocked red light will be displayed and the finishing order for the race will be the previous lap. In the event of a caution the yellow and green light will be displayed to make you aware that there may be an accident in front of you, but you must race to the checker flag. If you lose your position from slowing or getting involved in the accident you will be scored according to where you cross the finish line.
