8. TRACK SIGNALS
a. Every driver should be familiar with the flags used by
the starters. More important than merely understanding them, is to OBEY
them. Flags are a means of communications to you.
GREEN FLAG: The race is on - GO.
WHITE FLAG: You have one lap to go prior to completion of the event
CHECKERED FLAG: You have finished. The race is over. Bring your car
under control immediately, pull into the pits. YELLOW FLAG: Proceed with
caution. Bring your car under immediate control, slow down and hold your
position.
RED FLAG: ALL CARS MUST STAY ON THE TRACK DURING THE RED FLAG.
ONCE THE YELLOW IS DISPLAYED, ANY CARS EXITING THE TRACK WILL BE
AUTOMATICALLY PLACED AT THE REAR OF THE FIELD.
Under no circumstances should the pit crew personnel enter the track
area. Doing so will require the driver to start at the rear of the field,
or will be disqualified.
Removal: Any
car that enters the pit for any reason restarts at the rear of the field
BLACK FLAG: Pull off the track immediately.
b. ANY DRIVER WHO IGNORES THE BLACK FLAG WILL BE
IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED AND WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY PAYOFF OR ANY
POINTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FURTHER DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS.
c. YELLOW FLAG: All cars are to hold their position, slow
up, and continue moving around the track in single file. The car or cars
which cause the yellow flag may return to the rear of the field if they
can get their cars in safe running condition before the green flag is
displayed. Cars who slow up or stop to keep from getting involved in the
accident will be allowed to start in their running position. (NO FAULT
RULE).
RED FLAG: All cars will come to a safe and cautious stop immediately. A
re- lineup will be according to the way the cars were running the lap
before the red flag and not the lap before the accident which is often
different. Cars causing the red flag will be started the same as on the
yellow. If, in the opinion of the officials, a car deliberately
spins a car out or causes an accident yellow, or red flag he also will be
required to go to the rear of the field. Any car which is off the track in
the infield is considered safe and the race will not be stopped.
Under no circumstances should pit crew personnel enter track area.
Doing so will require driver to start at rear of field.
Damaged cars may enter the pits for repair during red flag stops
Once instructed to do so or when the yellow is displayed and
re-enter the track at the rear of the field.
d. If only one or two laps remain after a red flag has
stopped an event, the officials in charge reserve the right to call the
event complete and the positions will be paid according to the positions
on the last full lap before the red flag.
e. A race is officially over when the leader receives the
checkered flag. However, all cars must complete that lap (in which the
leader got the checkered) in order to be scored in that position.
Only the leader need complete the publicized distance of the race, if
possible. After the leader gets the flag the rest of the field receives it
in the same lap.
Finishing positions are paid according to the distance traveled
regardless of whether the car is still running or not, except in cases of
ties between cars who both might have completed the same number of laps.
In that case the car running at the finish has the preference over the car
that is not running, but may have an equal number of laps completed. The
checkered flag thus ends the race for all providing they finish that lap.
By the same token, the white flag will be displayed to the leader all
following cars, until the leader comes around again for the checkered
flag.
