General Rules

• We expect all drivers to exercise good racecraft at all times.
• If you're not sure what good racecraft is, It can be summed up in one simple 'Golden Rule' of motorsports: It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free. 
• If you don't agree with this rule or don't think it applies to you, this is not the series for you.
• If you ever feel like a driver is not following the rules, please wait until league night is over, and then file a Racing Incident Report.
• Our Stewards will review the incident and enforce the appropriate penalty on the driver in question.
