Any violation of the rules may result in warning, kick, or ban depending on the severity of the violation. Racing incidents: We want hard, tough racing. Things happen. Unless it is absolutely egregious, it will be deemed a racing incident. We DO NOT want to over penalize our drivers. We don't want our drivers to race scared either. We just don't want our drivers to ruin the races of others. If you get into someone and it upsets their car, KEY UP, and APOLOGIZE. We do not want it to fester.

1st at fault, claimed in the race, results in a self-given EOL. No points deducted. This means, if you make a mistake that results in damage of another car an causes a caution or impacts the race event, when RC asks if someone wants to admit fault, you must speak up. If you are deemed at fault upon race review and no responsibility was taken, this will result in climbing the "incident ladder. 2nd at fault(same race) If you cause a second incident in the race, this will result in a drive through. If you have not claimed the first incident, the drive through will happen at the beginning of the next race. You will climb another step up the ladder as well. 3rd at fault incident in a single race and you will be parked/ points deducted determined by admins. If it is deemed after the race you caused 3 at fault incidents, you will have a 1 race suspension.
