PREFACE
The rules in this book are intended to make
racing less expensive and keep competition as equal as possible. While these
rules offer a good outline, every item cannot be covered by a written rule. If
you come up with something not covered in the rules, PLEASE ASK FIRST!
All rules in the NASCAR Rulebook will be
enforced with the following changes and additions. These rules are for Stafford
Motor Speedway only with no expressed or implied agreement with any other
speedway as to the interpretation, implementation and method of inspection by
the technical inspectors and officials.
No equipment will be considered as having been
approved by reason of having previously passed through inspection unobserved.
No car will be considered as having passed inspection for the event until
the finish is made official.
DEFINITION OF
STOCK: In
the following Rules you will see the term OEM Stock used. This means Original
Equipment Manufacturer. The parts must come on a standard production car.
Special "Off-Road" or racing parts will not be permitted unless preapproved.
No carbon fiber or titanium engine, chassis or body parts unless approved by
track officials.
ILLEGAL ITEMS - Absolutely NO removal of,
alteration of, or covering of casting numbers, part numbers, manufacturers
name, logo, insignia, etc., from any item on the race car. To do so makes a
part illegal and will be treated as such. If you come up with a rare part that
we cannot find listed for passenger car use, the burden of proof is on
you. At any time you may be asked to
remove a head, manifold or possibly an entire engine for inspection. Failure to
comply will result in the same penalty as if it were illegal.
INSPECTION - All model, engine or equipment changes or
modifications not specifically addressed in this rulebook must be submitted to
Stafford Speedway for consideration of approval. All equipment is subject to
the approval of Track Officials. Equipment will not be considered as having
been approved by reason of having passed through inspection unobserved. Any
equipment that does not conform to specifications or tolerances contained in
this rulebook or is not otherwise approved by Stafford Speedway may not be used
in competition.
POST RACE INSPECTION. Once a
car has been presented to Stafford Technical Inspectors for post race
inspection the entire car and all its parts become subject to inspection. This
includes but is not limited to items designated for inspection following a
particular event.
SCALES. For purpose of post
race inspection drivers must seated in their cars in a racing position with
helmet either on or placed in their lap. No leaning or hanging on bars is
permitted. The driver must remain in his/her car until it is removed from the
scale area.
ABSOLUTLY NO SOMKING ALLOWED
IN THE FENCED IN TECH AREA
The rules in this book may be added to,
deleted from or changed at any time with the only notice to be given at the
event drivers meeting or via technical bulletin. All officials’ decisions are
final, non-appealable and non-litigable. Technical bulletins will be issued as
needed.
UPDATES - All changes and updates
made during the course of the season for the current rulebook will be posted to
the Stafford Motor Speedway website. This will serve as the only form of
official notification until the printing of next Stafford Motor Speedway
rulebook.
STAFFORD
SPEEDWAY TRACK RULES
NOTICE
Alcohol will not be permitted in the Stafford Speedway pit or paddock areas at
any time. The consumption of alcohol before, during or after a race event in
the pit or paddock areas is prohibited
SECTION 1-4
All NASCAR Rules will be enforced with the exception of the following
STAFFORD SPEEDWAY TRACK RULES. These rules supersede any similar NASCAR Rules and are in effect for all
auto racing events unless otherwise posted and/or announced prior to the event.
NOTE: Some Track Rules may not apply to touring
divisions.
SECTION 6
SAFETY
Stock car racing
is an inherently dangerous sport. Each Competitor assumes that risk when he or
she participates in an Event. The risk of serious injury or death cannot be eliminated
and in fact will always be present at a high level. Members are required to
advise their spouses and next of kin, if any, of this fact. Although safety is
generally everyone’s concern, Stafford Motor Speedway cannot be, and is not
responsible for all or even most aspects of the safety effort. That
responsibility instead rests with the various participants in the Event(s) as
follows.
All competitors
are obligated to inspect the racing facilities, safety personnel and equipment,
and conditions at the track on a continuing basis, before, during and after the
event. Competitors must report to Stafford Motor Speedway management promptly
any inadequacy in the facilities, personnel, equipment or conditions at the
track.
PASSENGERS are not permitted in or on a racecar at any
time. No one shall ride with any part of his or her body outside the racecar.
No riding on trailers or car haulers or pit carts anywhere on the
speedway property.
NEITHER STAFFORD MOTOR
SPEEDWAY NOR TRACK OFFICIALS CAN OR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADEQUACY OF A
COMPETITOR’S RACECAR, RACING EQUIPMENT OR RACING ACTIVITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
PURPOSE.
SECTION 9
RACE PROCEDURE
1. All cars must go
into the infield before turning into the off-track paddock gate except at the

SECTION
9.5 HANDICAPPING Note: Some rules
do not apply to DARE STOCK Division.
All drivers must
complete a Number Application form before signing in.
For all events your car must be signed
in 45 MINUTES before the first heat race is scheduled. Once the line-ups are
posted no additional cars may be added.
If your car is signed in but does not arrive you may be credited with
two wins for handicap purposes.
When you sign in
your car state your division, assigned car number
and the driver’s name. If you bring two cars, one as a BACK-UP CAR
you must decide and indicate which car will be your primary car when you sign
in. Drivers will be handicapped on a 3-week money won system. For handicapping
purposes regular feature event purses will be used. Any driver that misses
an event will be credited with a regular feature win in money plus 1/2 feature
win in money for handicapping purposes. Any driver disqualified from a feature event will be credited with a regular
feature win plus 1/2-feature win in money for handicapping purposes. The top 18 drivers in points will be handicapped ahead of drivers not in the top
18 for the main feature only.
No current
season feature-winning driver may be posted to start higher than fifth
position in a feature event.
Note: For some events the top ten cars in
points may be considered as pre-qualified. The car must still be signed in 45
minutes before racing starts to take advantage of being pre-qualified.
All alternate feature cars will be taken
from the consolation event. If a car is disqualified from a heat additional
cars will not be taken from heats but from the consolation or ‘B’ feature.
If in the
opinion of the Racing
Director a car is not competitive on a given night, he has the authority
to deny that driver a front starting position.
For additional
handicapping information please ask handicapper for clarification.
