2.0 ELIGIBILITY & FORMAT

The qualifications for drivers to be able to compete have been adjusted slightly from 2020. In order to be eligible for the six-race tour, drivers must fit one of the major categories below. The final decision on whether a driver meets the category will be made by race control.

* 2021 Seekonk Speedway Registered Drivers

* 2020 Seekonk Speedway Registered Drivers

* Previous full-time Seekonk competitors

* Immediate crew members on weekly Seekonk cars (owner, crew chief, spotter, mechanic)

* Seekonk Speedway Staff Members (past or present)

registered and paid for 2020 or part of the immediate crew members of those registered

and paid for 2020.

For all races, a heat race format will be determined and used to set the starting lineup for each

feature race. Heat races will be lined up by a random draw produced by the iRacing system. The

feature lineup will be determined by the finishing results of heat races. Seekonk Speedway has

the right to add a random invert into each starting lineup with no more than 10 cars included in

said invert. Drivers must run in a heat race or consolation race in order to be considered eligible

to start the feature race. The number of qualified cars through each heat and consolation race will

be determined by race promoters and admins. The track reserves the right to add a promoter

provisional to any event at any time. Each feature event will have no more than 26 cars that take

the green flag.

DRIVER’S MEETING : All participants must attend scheduled drivers meetings in the iRacing

server prior to the start of each race event. All directions must be followed to the best of the

participant’s ability as given by race control.

5.0 EVENT RULES

5.1 When an accident occurs or a race is under caution for any reason, all cars not involved MUST

follow directions provided by the iRacing server on their screen.

5.2 *Accident Car Rule* Any car involved in an accident and stops on the track will be placed to

the rear of the field. A car that has stopped to avoid an accident may be given their spot back from

their last completed lap by the iRacing server. Administers of the session do not have the control

to reset the lineup if someone has stopped to avoid. If they are being given their position, it will be

allowed. If they are not, they must fall in where the server asks. Any driver that is deemed to be at

fault for the accident, or involved in the accident, will be given a EOL (end of line) penalty to the

tail end of the field. Race Control shall be the final authority on whether a car is considered to

have avoided, been involved or caused an accident.

5.3 *Blinking Car Rules* Any car that is deemed to be blinking on the track (suffering from an

Internet issue) will be given a warning the first time. On a third occasion, a car will be forced to

serve a 30 second penalty in their pit stall. If there are more than three occasions, said car will be

asked to park the car for the remainder of the race. Race Control shall be the final authority on

whether a car is considered to have a blinking issue.

5.4 *Race Chatter Microphones During Session* General chatter should be kept to an absolute

minimum during race sessions and should be reserved for race related communications only.

This includes during cautions to insure that drivers can address Race Control if necessary. Any

negative chatter towards another driver or the race event will not be tolerated. Any driver deemed

to have produced negative chatter will have their chat muted for the remainder of the race event.

6.0 RACE PROCEDURES

6.1 START OF RACE: Once any car enters the grid of the race they are considered to have started

the race and will be placed in the finishing order. Any car that does not take the first green flag

start of the race can enter the event if they are already in the server at anytime, keeping to the

bottom of the track and out of the way of upcoming cars. Any driver that does not make it into the

iRacing server in enough time before the green flag is dropped will not be eligible to compete in

said event.

6.2 ALTERNATE CARS: Alternate cars will be determined based of qualifying results. If any of the

said original cars scheduled to start the race forfeit their position in the field, the first alternate will

be added to the server and the grid. Any driver who qualifies into an event but is not going to

make the eventual green flag must make race control aware prior to the launch of the race

session. Any driver who fails to share with race control that they are not going to make the race

they qualified into is subject to points penalty.

6.3 LAP COMPLETION: iRacing servers control all lineups unless race control is sending

someone to the tail of the field. Competitors must be in the understanding that the computer does

make mistakes on occasion and race control will have no way to change it in the race session.

6.4 STARTS: Control of restarts, including the initial start of each heat race, consolation race and

feature event, is on the polesitter of said event. Pole position will have control once the pace car

drops all four tires off the racing surface. If the green lights come on, and the server throws the

green flag, the race is underway. The outside polesitter may beat the pole car to the line if restart

procedures are correctly followed. Any driver who fails to restart correctly may be issued a

penalty by Race Control. In all races, the number one and two positions must maintain a steady

pace with the pace car. In the event of a false start, race control has the right to throw a caution

flag and attempt the start again. Any drivers in rows two on back must maintain position behind

the car in front of them until they have crossed the start/finish line. Any driver that receives a

black flag through iRacing for a restart violation must serve the penalty.

6.6 LAPPED CARS: In a lapped car situation, car/cars are asked to comply out of courtesy and

safety and pull to the outside of the track with care and let leaders pass. Drivers that are going a

lap down also have the right to race for their position on the track. Race Control may elect to ask a

driver in the server to move aside for lead cars if they are about to be lapped. Race Control may

elect to penalize a driver or remove them from the race if they are constantly blocking lead lap

cars and are laps down.

6.7 TWO CAUTION RULE: Any driver that is involved in two (2) incidents on their own resulting in

a caution they will be black flagged from that event and sent to the pits . Cars stopping to avoid an

accident or get spun by another car will not be considered under this rule. Race Control makes

determination on any black flag. This is for feature events and any qualifying races.

6.9 LINEUPS: All cars will be randomly lined up in a heat race format through the iRacing service.

All qualifying lineups are randomized and not created by Race Control. Feature race lineups will

be determined by Race Control based on qualifying racing results.

6.10 RACE DISTANCE: All races will be run until the leader has completed the advertised distance.

In the event of a caution that pushes the race past advertised distance, drivers will partake in one

green-white-checkered attempt. If a caution comes out during the GWC attempt, the race will be

deemed complete.

6.11 SINGLE FILE STARTS: During any race event, Race Control may choose to go to single file

restart as conditions determined and will may remain single file for the remainder of the event.

Race Control has the authority to turn restarts back to double file if deemed appropriate.

6.12 RACE FINISHING ORDER: Race officials have the right to change the results of the race as

they are shown in the iRacing platform based on any penalties that need to be administered. All

full updated list of results will be provided to competitors once completed.

6.12 RACE CARS, SETUPS, TIRES, LAPS: Each of these will be determined on an event basis.

Seekonk Speedway iRacing officials have the right to select any car on iRacing to compete with.

All setups used for all events will be fixed. Every driver will use the same setup. Allotted amounts

of tires and lap distances will be determined by event.

7.0 VIOLATIONS AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Penalties for violation of Seekonk Speedway iRacing virtual rules are determined by the gravity of

the violation and its effects on the fairness of the competition, the orderly conduct of the event,

and in the interest of stock car racing. Such penalties may include, but are not limited to,

disqualification, suspension or revoke of membership privileges, and/or loss of points. A

suspension may be total or it may be limited to a suspension of privileges for a specific amount of

events.

Race Control will use the following as guidelines for the imposition of penalties in the situations

described below, but may assess a greater or lesser penalty depending upon the severity of the

circumstances.

8.1 When such penalties as event suspensions are given, they must be served on completed point

races for that division. PROBATION means starting at the rear of the field for qualifying race

and/or feature race, determined by Race Control. All drivers will be made aware of penalties after

and during race events.
