Starts and restarts will use the iRacing Restart Zone System.

The leader must maintain iRacing determined speed.

The initial start of the race will be on the green flag thrown by iRacing. If you jump, you will serve the iRacing penalty given.

All restarts after the INITIAL start will be on the leader in the restart zone, or on leader's go if no zone is present.

Drivers are expected to be in their correct lane and tight (one car length) BEFORE entering the final turn.

Drivers must stay in line with the car ahead and cannot cross the plane of their rear bumper before the Start/Finish line. Exceptions for wreck avoidance.

Please keep the gap between cars on restarts to no more than 1 car length.

11. Cautions

Cautions are dictated by iRacing.

Manual cautions may be thrown in VERY extreme cases at the discretion of the Admin Team.

Damaged cars that cannot catch the field need to tow. Or enter pit road IMMEDIATELY, if you are wrecked go down the closed pit lane.

During a caution, catch the field FIRST, then sort running order SECOND. Do not wait for others, do not ride around slowly to play games. Catch the Pace Car/Tail of the Field.

HOLD YOUR BRAKE when crashing. Do not make the wreck any bigger. It is your responsibility to stop your car, and move only when you are absolutely clear to do so. Tow your car if you aren't sure.

Wrecked/Rejoining cars must rejoin the track SAFELY. Do not rejoin in the path of an oncoming car.

Purposefully bringing out a caution by wrecking or stopping on track is not permitted.

If you can’t maintain speed at anytime return to the pits

We will not do Ross Chastains moves. If you do, It will be an automatic end of points for that race and one race suspension
