THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO THE 358, BB MODIFIED DIVISION, THESE RULES ARE MANDATORY AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Any altering, fabricating, relocating or otherwise changing any part or component not specifically mentioned within these rules must be inspected and approved by the tech inspector.

All cars are subject to inspection at any time. All cars must be free from mechanical defects and be in safe racing condition. Track or Series officials' decision regarding any safety infractions will be final.

¦ Only round steel roll over bars may be used. Front and rear roll bars must be connected at top in a cage type configuration. Two round horizontal side bards on each side are mandatory. The top side bar must be a maximum of 20” below the top roll bar. Proper bracing and triangulation on front and rear roll bars is required. It is highly recommended that all roll bar bracing be a minimum of 1 ½” diameter by .095” wall thickness. A minimum of one diagonal bar across the top of the roll cage is mandatory.

¦ The rear main roll bar hoop must be a minimum of 26” measured across from outside to outside of tubing and must maintain that measurement from the bottom all the way to the top of the cage. Bottom of the rear roll bar must be welded to the 2 x 4 frame (no outriggers). The front roll bar must be measured and constructed the same way, except that the allowable taper in the frame rules will govern the width dimension. Only two roll bar diameters will be allowed. Roll bars of 1 ¾” diameter will require a minimum of .095” wall thickness. Roll bars of 1 ½” diameter will require .120” wall thickness.

SEAT BELT AND HARNESS:

trim protecting the webbing from abrasion or cutting under impact conditions. Webbing entry slots into the seat with an existing metal roll of 1/8 inch smooth radius will not require vinyl trim. The areas where the webbing slot has been enlarged by filing or cutting are of particular concern. In most instances the edges have been left sharp, increasing the incidence of belt failure. As racing seat belts are subjected to severe conditions, it is required that worn/frayed belts are replaced immediately, and encouraged that undamaged belts are replaced every 24 months. The date sewn into the webbing should be used as a guide. Where the seat belt date is known to be “new old Stock”, it is acceptable practice to extend the replacement date on that set of belts to 36 months from date of manufacture. Damaged belts will not be permitted.

¦ Shock resistant roll bar padding must fully cover all bars that may come in contact with the driver's head while strapped in the seat. On center type steering, all housings, lines, and fittings must be covered with shock resistant roll bar padding. The steering wheel center must also be padded. The starter housing and any other points of contact that could potentially injure the driver must also be adequately padded.

Screen must cover entire windshield area left to right across the cage and from top of cage down to hood or cowl. Clear lexan or safety glass windshields may be used for additional protection if they are in the driver's line of sight. They must be shatterproof and mounted behind the screen enabling driver to wipe them clean. Any additional windshield must not obstruct the emergency exit of the driver.

Adequate window openings on both sides of the car must be maintained for emergency exit of the driver. The minimum opening size is that which will allow a rectangular box with dimensions of 12” high by 30” long to be passed through the inside of the car from one window through to the other side.

MANDATORY SAFETY RULES FOR SPORTSMAN

THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO THE SPORTSMAN DIVISION, THESE RULES ARE MANDATORY AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Any altering, fabricating, relocating or otherwise changing any part or component not specifically mentioned within these rules must be inspected and approved by the tech inspector.

SEAT BELT AND HARNESS:

All cars must be equipped with 5 point seat belts. All belts must be securely fastened to the frame or cage. Bolts may not be inserted through webbing for mounting. Seat belt webbing that comes into contact with any sharp or un-radiused metal edge must be protected from that edge by means of push on grip vinyl trim. The areas of concern are the webbing slots in the metal racing seats. All the seat manufacturers either roll the edge or supply the seat with trim protecting the webbing from abrasion or cutting under impact conditions. Webbing entry slots into the seat with an existing metal roll of 1/8 inch smooth radius will not require vinyl trim. The areas where the webbing slot has been enlarged by filing or cutting are of particular concern. In most instances the edges have been left sharp, increasing the incidence of belt failure. As racing seat belts are subjected to severe conditions, it is required that worn/frayed belts are replaced immediately, and encouraged that undamaged belts are replaced every 24 months. The date sewn into the webbing should be used as a guide. Where the seat belt date is known to be “new old Stock”, it is acceptable practice to extend the replacement date on that set of belts to 36 months from date of manufacture. Damaged belts will not be permitted. The driver's seat must be securely fastened to frame or cage in six spots, with a minimum of six 3/8” bolts, four on bottom and two on the seat back. All seats must have a minimum 1/8” steel plate under and up the back 4” and be as wide as seat. The seat must be one piece high back type only. The seat must be made of aluminum only (no fiberglass).

¦ All drivers must wear a 2000 or newer SNELL approved helmet and fire suit. Note: The following items are highly recommended: One piece fire suit, full face helmet, fire retardant underwear, arm restraints, gloves, racing shoes, and a neck brace or the HANS device.

¦ Adequate window openings on both sides of the car must be maintained for emergency exit of the driver. The minimum opening size is that which will allow a rectangular box with dimensions of 12” high by 30” long to be passed through the inside of the car from one window through to the other side. Any obstacles other than the driver's head rest, which prohibit the passage of the inspection box through the cockpit, must be removed.

¦ All crews must carry an operable fire extinguisher capable of extinguishing gas and oil fires. On board “flame-out” systems are recommended.

¦ A fuel shut-off valve must be mounted within easy reach of the driver and the safety crew. IT must be labeled in a clearly visible location with words FUEL ON/OFF with a bright colored paint.

¦ All cars must have four (4) wheel hydraulic brakes in good working order. Brake test may be held throughout the year.

¦ Rear wheels must have a minimum of five (5) lug nuts. A minimum of three (3) lug nuts is required on front wheels only. No knock off hubs on any wheel are allowed.

¦ A horizontal bar with minimum dimensions of 1” by .095” wall thickness must be mounted behind the fuel cell for rear impact protection.

¦ No mirror or reflecting devices allowed.

¦ Inspectors reserve the right to request body or sheet metal to be replaced and painted if it has any sharp edges or is not looking presentable to the sport.

¦ A minimum of two (2) throttle return springs are required.

A steel toe loop on gas pedal is recommended.

¦ No fuel drums allowed on track premises.

SECTION X - FLAG RULES:

Any driver who does not obey the flag rules will be subject to disqualification. Where light signals are also used, a definite understanding concerning these signals in relation to the flag will be made before the race.

GREEN FLAG - Start of race.

BLUE FLAG WITH YELLOW STRIPE OR MARKER: Passing flag to indicate slower cars that faster cars are coming up behind.

YELLOW FLAG - Caution, go slow, single file, hold position - NO PASSING.

RED FLAG - Danger, race stops immediately

BLACK FLAG - Go to pit area immediately for consultation

WHITE FLAG - One lap to go.

CHECKERED FLAG - End of race.

GREEN FLAG:

On an original green flag, all cars must stay in line until past the starter's stand. On restarts, racing resumes immediately upon display of green flag or green light. Pole man (leader) sets the pace. Some tracks may require the lead car to reach a specific spot on a track to bring out the green and not allow passing until each car has passed that object. Cars passing prior to reaching the spot will be penalized. Penalty will be determined by the track.

YELLOW FLAG:

The yellow flag signifies caution and will be given to the first car passing the starter. After the yellow flag is displayed, cars must slow and hold position until either the green or red flag is displayed.

In regular shows where the caution laps do not count, the car or cars that bring out the caution must go to the rear.

In races where caution laps count any car involved in or which spins, slows, or stops to avoid and accident where the yellow flag is displayed must pick up its position in the field wherever it regains its momentum. All other maintain position. At the discretion of track officials, a car may be put to the rear of the field for adding to a yellow flag situation.

Any car falling out of position during a caution flag must pick up its position wherever it regains its momentum. If the field passes him, he must fall in at the rear. The only exceptions are if the car is coming to the start/finish line to either check his position or inform the starter of a track hazard (The rule is designed to keep the race under as little delay as possible. Sometimes it will work to a driver's advantage, other times to a disadvantage but knowing the rule will help get the race restarted efficiently).

If the pace car is passed, the driver does not get a lap back but is then the last car a lap or more down.

Cars passing under the caution will be penalized a maximum of (2) positions for each car passed at the discretion of the officials.

When the caution flag is displayed, cars must fall into single file, with passing car giving way to lead car. A passing car must be completely ahead at the caution to assume the forward position. Cars will then go ahead at the caution to assume the forward position. Cars will then go to double wide formation for restarts up to the halfway distance of the event.

In all events in which yellow flag laps count, all laps will count even beyond the advertised distance of the race. The race must finish with consecutive green - white - checkered flag laps. The winner of the race will be the first driver to receive the checkered flag, having gone the furthest distance in the least amount of time.

RED FLAG:

In the event of a red flag, a driver may do any work on the car he is able to do without tools on the track. If work must be done in the infield or pit area the car restarts at the rear of the field.

Unless the procedure is changed by officials, the laps under caution after a red flag situation will not count until green flag is again displayed. A combined display of yellow and green flag may be used to resume counting laps in this situation.

In the event of a red flag situation after enough laps are counted to call the race complete, and the event cannot be completed in full, the last cored lap will be used to determine the official finishing order. Any driver going into the pits while the red flag is out will be scored behind all cars completing the same number of laps.

BLACK FLAG:

Drivers may not continue in the race after receiving the black flag without consultation. Driver must slow down, keep clear of other cars in the race and retire to either the pits or infield at the first opportunity.

Drivers receiving the black flag will not be scored after receiving the black flag for three consecutive laps. Failure to obey black flag may result in disqualification or suspension.

Black flag does not mean automatic disqualification.

Tracks may consider using a blackboard available in full view of competitors to display number of car being black flagged.

BLUE AND YELLOW FLAG (Move over or passing flag):

This flag will be displayed to a driver to tell him that he is about to be lapped by a leading car. The lapped car must obey by allowing the lapping car or cars to go by.

A driver who uses the Blue and Yellow flag to his advantage by passing a car which has slowed to obey the flag, in discretion of starter, will be penalized an appropriate number of positions.

A driver who ignores the Blue and Yellow flag, in discretion of the starter, will be disqualified or penalized and appropriate number of positions.

After considerable study, some tracks have chosen to delete this flag. Lapped cars may continue to race to better their respective positions. Faster lead cars will have to make their moves accordingly. It makes for better fan appeal and does away with countless controversial calls. Any unsportsmanlike driving by either the leaders or lapped cars will be handled severely.

WHITE FLAG:

When the white flag is displayed under green, it means you have begun your final lap.

During yellow situations, starter may display white flag to indicate the green will come out in one more lap.

CHECKERED FLAG:

When checkered flag is displayed, it means the race is finished. When the required race distance has been completed by the lead car, or at the discretion of the starter, the race will be declared official (final disposition of any flag dispute will be determined by the starter).

When the checkered flag is given to the leader, the balance of the field receives the checkered flag in the same lap. Finishing positions will be paid off according to most laps traveled in the least amount of time, regardless of whether the car is still running or not.

The feature race winner must bring his car to the starting line and must participate in victory lane until released by the officials in charge of the event.

It is a normal practice for top 5finishers to report for a complete technical inspection. It is up to each race team to know where the inspection area for each event and ensure that their car reports directly to the inspection area after the checkered flag. Failure to do so may result in a fine and/or disqualification. What constitutes a complete technical inspection is at the discretion of the race promoter or technical inspector at each event.
