You only need to be fastest in your group to start in the front of your heat race.
• Flagman is to start initial start of race. Pole sitter is to set a reasonable pace. Anyone jumping before the Green flag is waved on initial start will be penalized 1 row for 1st offense and to the tail of the field for 2nd offense.All races will be started with a duel cone system. 2 cones will be set in turn 4 aprox. 30 ft. apart. The Pole sitter or leader is responsible for starting all restarts. If pole sitter/leader alters his pace (jack rabbit start, break checking) he will be put to tail of field. If ANYONE jumps before first cone they will be penalized 1 row for 1st offense and tail of field for 2nd offense. If pole sitter/leader does not start by the 2nd cone, to bad for him, the race is on.
• If there is a caution flag before the 1st lap is scored and only 1 car is involved, that car will be sent to the tail of the field. If more than 1 car is involved in a caution before 1 lap is scored, all cars will get there original starting spot back for complete restart.

• No racing back to yellow flag except on final lap of race. If white flag has been thrown you better race to the checkered/yellow.
• When a caution flag is thrown all cars must get in a single file for scoring purposes and then double up when instructed.
Except lap one, anyone involved in a caution will be sent to rear of field and lined up according to the position they were running on last scored lap.
