2007 Battle Mountain Raceway Racing Rules /Procedures

All line up procedures will be done according to I.M.C.A. points rules for 2007 which can be found at www.imca.com We do not race to the yellow. Once the yellow is thrown, the restart line-up will be according to the last completed green lap. All restarts will be single file, with the exception of the 1st lap. If a yellow is thrown before one lap is

completed, then it will be a complete restart. Which means you will line up in two’s (2) just like you started the race. If you cause two (2) yellow flags to be thrown in any one race, you may be black flagged for the remainder of that race. All car/cars causing the yellow will go to the rear of the field. The car causing the yellow will start last, (or at the discretion of the D.O.C.). A race will consist of three (3) cars taking the green flag. If

at any time the car count drops below three (3) that race will have reduced laps.

If a car starts the Heat Race but does not finish, for whatever reason, that car will start on the pole for the Main Event. If more than one (1) car does not finish the heat race, they will be lined up according to how many laps they completed. Driver’s or Pit Crew harassing, complaining or yelling at the Score Keepers, Pit Tower or Corner people, may cause the driver to be disqualified for that event. All decisions on how race will be run are made by the D.O.C. He may request help from the corner personnel or Flagger. His decision is final. All complaints and protests will be made to the D.O.C. All decisions as to what happens in a racing incident on the track is the Flagger’s responsibility. He may also ask for help from the Corner people. His decision is also final. Neither you nor your crew will ever approach the flag-stand during the race. If you have a question, go see

the D.O.C. If anyone does approach the Flagger, they will be disqualified for that event. Depending how sever the incident, you may possibly have to forfeit the right to race at Battle Mtn. Raceway. All points and money you have earned to that date can be taken away.
