REVISED 2008 RULES DENOTED IN RED, BOLD, ITALIC TEXT

General
Lincoln Speedway and/or officials reserve the right to reject any car or driver without cause or recourse.

Only race cars, official equipment and one (1) authorized vehicle per racing car are permitted in the pits during the running of the races. An other equipment must be moved outside the track and pit area. Anyone not complying with this order will be disqualified and the car he or she is with will not be allowed to run until compliance is met. Vehicles including towing equipment, wreckers, push trucks and all other equipment located in the pit area or restricted area are NOT covered by insurance.

Every person who enters into the pit and racing area, or participates in competition sanctioned or promoted by Lincoln Speedway does acknowledge, represent and warrant that he/she has read, understands and agrees to abide by the rules in their entirety. Application or permission to participate or enter the grounds shall constitute acceptance of the same.

Relief And/or Driver Changes
Any relief drivers and/or driver changes must be approved by the officials. Drivers are responsible for notifying the Handicapper of any change. Drivers may qualify more than one car but only by doing so through the consolation race. However, when a driver takes the green flag to qualify a second car, the first car that he qualified is automatically disqualified. Car and driver must be qualified to be in feature event. After any race’s original green flag is dropped, no driver/car combination may be changed.

Participants (owners, drivers, mechanics, pit-people, agents, etc.)
Pedestrian traffic to the infield enters through the second turn only. When entering into an event they are not deemed employees of Sel-Wil, Inc. but are independent contractors and as such shall assume and take all the responsibility for charges, premiums and taxes, if any, payable on any funds or prize money they may receive as a result of their participation in any speedway event. Drivers or owners must pick up their own prize money. An owner or driver may designate someone to pick up the prize money. All prize money earned by individual teams will be credited to the owner, unless the speedway is notified in writing otherwise. Social Security or Corporate numbers must be presented to the speedway office. All prize money not picked up on race night must be picked up at office on a future race night.

At each racing program a pit entrance fee will be charged. Payment of this fee, plus the affixing of each participant’s personal signature on the pit register and release, releases Sel-Wil, Inc. and officials from all liability and makes the insurance carrier liable. Failure to remit the required fee and signing the pit register and release shall nullify any claim against Sel-Wil, Inc., officials and insurance carrier for death or injury incurred prior to, during or after the racing program. All participants recognizing that automobile racing is a hazardous undertaking assumes all the risk by reason of his participation and does for himself, his heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns from any and all liability for personal injuries that may be received and from all claims and damages for injury to persons or property growing out of, caused by any construction or conditions of any track, equipment, cars or other devices used therefore, whatsoever.

Handicapping
Drivers will be handicapped in qualifying events according to their average points. Average points are computed by the number of races run divided into total points earned. Drivers will be handicapped according to the last qualifying event entered in the particular racing program.

If up to 35 cars are entered for a racing event three (3) heats will be run. If there are 36-48 cars a fourth heat will be added and if 49 or more cars a fifth heat will be added.

If three heats are run, six (6) will qualify with the top four (4) finishers handicapped to the front.

If four heats are run, four (4) will qualify with the top three (3) handicapped to the front.

If an alternate starter is needed to fill the field when two (2) consolations are run, heat and consolation finishes will be used to determine the alternate starter. If there is a tie, a coin toss will be used to break the tie. Sel-Wil, Inc. and/or the officials have the option to determine the line-up by time trials or by order of the finish in qualifying events. (Each car will have a two car grace period to time trial in position. If the grace period is missed, the late car will take its time at the end of the scheduled lineup with only one qualifying lap. The late cars must be in line BEFORE the last scheduled car pushes off. Any car without a time trial for any event will start behind those cars with a time trial.)

A driver who misses a race at Lincoln to attempt to compete in another race, upon his return and for a two-week period, will be handicapped to the rear of his heat and the back positions of the feature.

A driver who misses two Sel-Wil, Inc. sanctioned races in succession at Lincoln Speedway, upon his return will be handicapped to the rear of a heat. If said driver qualifies in one of the top three positions in his heat, he will be given his average point handicapped starting position in the feature. If said driver does not qualify in the top three (3) he will be handicapped in the feature event but not in the inverted positions. If a driver is injured in an accident at Lincoln, if upon his return, his first race is at Lincoln, he will not be required to start at the rear of the field in the heat race.

All qualifying heats, unless previously announced, will be for the following distances: Sprints ten (10) laps; 358 Sprints ten (10) laps; thundercars eight (8) laps or 10 minutes. In the consolation event, Sprint distance is 10 laps, if more than 15 cars are entered, two (2) additional laps will be added.

Feature events, unless announced differently, will be for the following distances: Sprints - 25 laps; 358 Sprints - 20 laps ; Thundercars - 20 Laps.

There is a red light at each track entrance. If this red light is on the track has been closed and no one will be permitted to enter the track Any car, which proceeds through the gate when the light is red, will be disqualified The red pit gate light , will be turned on when the track lights are turned off.

Sprint cars get five (5) laps to get on the race track for warm ups in the first session. If you miss your warm up you cannot come out in second warm up. A car only gets one warm up. All cars in all divisions must be pre-staged for all events.

Once the starting line-up is given, the pace car will be sent onto the speedway. In heats and consolations, sprint drivers will have three (3) laps by the pace car to pull into their proper position behind the pace car. All other divisions will have two (2) laps. In the feature, sprint drivers will be given six (6) laps of the pace car, then a listed alternate (who must be pre-staged) will be taken, but can not go out on the track without notifying an official. All other divisions will have two (2) laps. Cars backed out onto pit road must be ready to be pushed off. Anyone passing the pace car will be fined twenty-five (25) dollars.

If while lining up for the start of an event, it is determined that a car will not make the event or at a time that a car is deemed late for an event, the entire row of cars directly behind the empty position will move forward to fill the spot. This will eliminate the need for cross over.

All cars will receive one (1) push off per event, if a car needs a second push that driver will start in the rear.

On initial starts, drivers must gradually increase their speed coming off the fourth turn. Drivers are not to accelerate to full speed until the front row reaches the original start cone. The green flag will be displayed at any point after the lead cars reach the original start cone. On single file restarts the green will be displayed when the lead car accelerates anytime after the original start cone and before the restart cone. Cars can be penalized if they accelerate before the original start cone. If a yellow is displayed before the field completes the first lap, a complete two (2) abreast restart shall be made, with the exception that any cars not completing the first lap, or stopping in the pits shall be placed at the rear of the field. No car that is 2 or more laps down will be permitted to run.

If the field completes the first lap under the green, the first lap shall be scored and any subsequent yellow flags shall result in the cars lining up single file in the position they were running at the time the yellow occurred. Any cars not completing the lap, in which the yellow is displayed, shall be considered involved in the accident and placed at the rear of the field.

If the field completes the first lap under green, then the first lap shall be scored and subsequent yellow flags shall result in cars lining up single file and must be in a nose to tail formation, not to either side of the cars ahead or behind. Any car not in a nose to tail formation will be subject to jumping penalties. All restarts will take place at the orange cone. It is the race leader(s) responsibility to start the race at the designated starting point. The leaders (front row) on the original start must work as a team to perfect a good quality start every time. Both leaders will be penalized if necessary by sending them to the second row.

Any car passing or racing before the cone will be penalized two (2) positions for each car jumped. The leader should not pick up speed until he/she reaches the cone.

All cars must pass between the cone and the outside wall in single file order. Any car that knocks the cone over or goes to the inside of the cone will be put to the rear of the field at the next restart or to the back of the cars running on the same lap as penalized car at the end of the race.

Any car that does a 360 and does not bring out the yellow flag or have an accident will fall in where it gets momentum. If the yellow flag does come out, the car goes to the back of the field. If a car is doing a 360 and a yellow flag appears for another car, the car doing the 360 will fall in line where it was running if a new lap has not been started.

All scoring will be done at the start finish line. In case of a yellow flag situation, cars that have passed the finish line under green flag conditions will be scored on that lap. All remaining cars will revert back to the last completed lap. The lap will count ONLY if more than half the cars are scored. This eliminates the need to race through an accident, back to the start finish line.

Lapped cars shall maintain their positions in the field in the event of a caution flag. Any lapped car which passes the leader and goes to the rear of the field is merely penalizing himself in that he is still one (1) lap behind the field. Any car attempting to improve his position while running under the yellow flag will be returned to his rightful running position and faces a possible penalty for delaying the race. Refusal to maintain proper positions will result in a one (1) lap penalty. Cars stopping on the track during the yellow flag, unless stopping to avoid an emergency vehicle will be placed to the rear of the field.

Red Flag and Fuel Stops
When either the RED flag or FUEL flag is displayed you must stop as quickly and as safely as possible on the track. The red flag means that the race must stop immediately. The red flag shall be used, if in the opinion of the starter, the track is unsafe to continue to race. Under the red flag, cars that have passed the start/finish line under green flag conditions will be scored on that lap, all other cars will revert back to the last completed lap. If the leader passed the start/finish line under green flag conditions, that lap will count toward the event’s total number of laps. If there is a red flag condition before one lap is completed, cars will be restarted in the original starting order with the involved cars to the rear of the line-up. Cars going to pits will restart in the order they return to the racetrack (behind the cars remaining on the track). Under yellow flag conditions before the completion of one lap, drivers will slide rows.

A FUEL stop will occur after seventy (70) yellow and green laps have been run in any one event.

During a red flag situation, the starter will make a determination if pit crew members are permitted onto the track at the car for refueling or adjusting purposes. If crew members are permitted onto the track, approximately five crew members are permitted at the car. Crew members may work on the car only with tools that can be carried by hand. There will be no tire or gear changes on the track. No jacks or jack stands will be permitted on the track. Any car going to the pit area during a red flag or fuel stop will be put to the rear of the field when the race is resumed. Fuel stops will be for five minutes, red flag stops will end and the car will be pushed off when the track is clear. Once the field is ordered to resume racing, a maximum of three laps will be run. If a car is not moving at the end of the three lap period, the car will be put to the rear of the field.

During the 410 & 358 sprint features any car receiving a flat tire will be given two (2) laps to return to the track (car must be moving toward the gate within these two (2) laps). The designated area for a flat tire is your pit area. No car will be permitted to restart any events with a flat tire.

Four wheelers are permitted in the pit area, but not in the infield except when directed by official in charge (special shows). They can be used to go to the pit gate on red flags, but not on the track. Make sure not to block the pit gate as emergency vehicles may have to exit the track via the gate. Four wheelers must be driven safely in the pits and speeding or reckless driving will not be tolerated. Four wheelers should not be used to push race cars onto the track unless directed to do so by an official.

Two-Way Radios
No two way or electronic communications are to be used by any driver/owner or team member.

ANYONE DELIBERATELY delaying the program will be DISQUALIFIED. Any car causing two (2) yellow flags in a qualifying event or three (3) yellow flags in a feature event may be disqualified at the discretion of track officials.

When the field has been checkered, the order of finish shall be determined by the number of laps completed and in the order the cars took the checkered flag. If two cars completed the same number of laps, the car which completed that lap first shall be paid ahead of the other car.

Drivers and pit personnel should stay in their own pit areas. Anyone in a fight at another pit area will automatically be at fault.

No alcoholic beverages allowed in the pits until the last checkered flag falls for the night. Violators will be suspended from competition for a period of time designated by the officials. Remember.... drivers are responsible for their crew members.

Physical abuse of any official (this includes pushing) will be dealt with severely with a minimum fine of $500.00 and may be subject to legal action. Verbal abuse of any official will result in a fine of $100.00.

Protests
The right to protest lies with the competitor or his authorized agent. Nevertheless, an official acting in his official capacity shall even in the absence of a protest, take such actions as the case warrants.

Verbal protests, accompanied by a three hundred (300) dollar cash protest fee must be lodged no later than five (5) minutes after the conclusion of the race, a written protest stating clearly the subject of action, must follow the verbal protest. The protest fee will be returned, if the protest is upheld. If the protest is not sustained, the three hundred (300) dollars protest fee shall be forfeited and the protesting competitor shall pay all costs incurred by officials in determining the protest. All awards gained by a competitor who has been protested against shall be withheld until the protest has been adjudicated. All parties concerned shall be bound by the decision given.

Should a tear-down be required, three (3) members of the protested car will be permitted in the impound area. Only the person lodging the protest will be permitted in the impound area.

Any car found illegal shall result in the loss of purse money which would have been earned.

In the event of a scoring protest, only the driver or the owner or his authorized agent may protest to the scorers and only after all racing is completed for the night.
