Cannonball Motor Speedway officials shall have full authority over all racing events. At the discretion of the officials in charge, any competitor may be disqualified for rule violations, hazardous equipment or actions.   All vehicles are subject to inspection by officials at any time. Approval of the participant's race vehicle, or other equipment, by an official inspector shall mean only that the vehicle is approved for participation in a competitive event, and shall not be construed in any way to mean or imply that the vehicle is guaranteed to be mechanically sound or safe. Be it further known that neither Cannonball Motor Speedway nor its officials shall be held liable for any mechanical failure or fitness; nor for any losses, injuries or death resulting from the same.   Any un-sportsmanlike conduct by a driver, owner, or pit crewmember shall be grounds for disqualification and/or punitive action. DRIVERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT AND ACTIONS OF THEIR CREWMEMBERS! Absolutely no alcoholic beverages will be consumed by the drivers or their pit crews prior to or during an event. Use, distribution, or the sale of illegal drugs at anytime can be cause for immediate and/or indefinite suspension.   Any driver under 18 years of age must have a signed and notarized consent form signed by his or her parent or legal guardian. Said document shall be in the possession of the Cannonball Motor Speedway before any participation in any event.   All cars are subject to inspection before competing in any event. The top five cars after the feature may be required to stop in the designated inspection area. If found in violation of the rules, you will forfeit all money and points for that night. If found in violation a second time you will forfeit all money and points for the season and barred for no less than two weeks.  Hot Laps:  You must hot lap with your class. We will not have a special hot lap just for you.  The Pits: All divisions pull pills for starting positions in the heat races unless otherwise discussed at the drivers meeting.  If you miss the drivers meeting and any information covered, it is you're fault. No speeding through the pits. You will be disqualified and all money and points for the evening will be forfeit.  When your race is called you need to get to the line-up area asap.  We will not wait for any car for any reason.  DO NOT HOLD UP THE SHOW!  It is your job to know when to line up.  Don't expect someone to come to your pit to tell you. Un-sportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Drivers are responsible for their crews and their fans. Lineups:  If a competitor scratches, an attempt will be made (time permitting) to adjust the lineup in the pits.  If a competitor is late for a race, he will take the tail of that race.  Lineups will advance straight ahead in event of a scratch, not criss-cross.  Next race in line must be running and ready when signaled.  No attempt will be made to wait for a car that does not enter the track on command. Driver Changes:  If you start the car, you finish the car.   If there is a driver change, that car will start at the tail.  If you switch cars or if a driver changes, you tag the end of the field; and you only get the points you get in your original car when you were in it (e.g. You start in a #0 car. You take over somebody else's #1 car. You get the points for the time you were in your #0 car. The original driver of the #1 car gets the points for when he was in that car. No points are awarded for the time when drivers are not in their original starting cars for the evening. You will, however, get the money for wherever you finish.)  YOU MUST TELL THE PIT TOWER OF THE DRIVER CHANGE! Anything else is an ILLEGAL driver change and results in disqualification.  Starts: All starts (double and single file) are in turn four off the flagman. First jumpstart to the tail. Second jumpstart to the pits and disqualified for that event. Two attempts will be made for initial start. Third attempt will be single file.  Cautions: Judgment calls by the flagmen and infield crew. Calls stand and may not be challenged or discussed on track or in the pits by a competitor or zealous crew member. Doing this will lead to disqualification and forfeiture of money and points for the entire night.  When charged with a caution, you must go to the tail or to the pits if its your 2nd.  If you hold up the show by not obeying immediately, you will be disqualified.  Disqualification in any event results is no money and no points for the night. During Starts... If a caution occurs before the first lap is completed, then we start with the original lineup. If the same competitor brings out a second caution before the first lap is completed, then that competitor will take the tail. (Cars will move straight up. They will not be crisscrossed.) If the same competitor brings out a third caution before the first lap is completed, then that competitor goes to the pits and is disqualified for the event. During the Race... First caution to the tail. Second caution to the pits. If a competitor spins to the infield on their own and is clear of the racing surface the race will continue.  If a competitor has a flat or body parts loose and deemed unsafe, that competitor will be black-flagged regardless of where he is running. No pitting during the race. If you go to the pits during a race, you stay in the pits.    Drivers may not exit the vehicle during a caution or red flag. You will be disqualified and sent to the pits. No crew member, owner, or fan is permitted on the racing surface while the event is in progress. Crews may go down to have their picture taken if your driver is the winner. During red flag conditions, STAY OFF THE TRACK. You get in the way of the safety crews. Scales: Top three (3) after heats must cross the scales after the race.  Top five (5) after feature must cross the scales after the race.  Payout: Any driver who competes in more than one division the same night must purchase a pit pass per division or forfeit all winnings for that night.  Money will be picked up at the pit tower and must be signed for in order to receive.  Checks will be made out according to the names registered on the registration forms.
