ON TRACK RULES

All drivers must attend the driver's meeting before being allowed to participate.

At check in, a Tech form for the vehicle will be filled out by the team captain, all drivers must sign and submit a helmet and harness form as well as a facility waiver.

Wristbands will be issued to the team captain, each wristband has a unique number. Vehicles will be assigned a 3 digit number, numbers will be issued at check-in and must be put on the vehicle in a visible place. The wristband numbers will correspond to the vehicle number in sequence – IE “Team NCM – Vehicle #100, Driver A: wristband number 101, Driver B: 102, Driver C: 103, Driver D: 104”

Drivers will show their wristband number to the grid-worker so timing can be assigned to that wristband number. If every assigned wristband number does not register a valid time on either course, the team will be DQ’d for that event and will not receive any points.

After the drivers meeting, teams can report to their respective paddock spots.

Strike system:

All teams participating in KOTH will be subject to a strike system. Strikes will be given for incidents, strikes are assigned to the team, not the driver!

3 strikes and the vehicle will not be allowed on any competition surface for the remainder of the day. One driver CAN earn 3 strikes in one session!!!!

Actions earning strikes: Spins, 2 off, 4 off, passing without a point by, any type of impact or contact, hitting an excessive amount of cones.

If you let a driver from another team drive your vehicle, strikes will be assigned to the CAR NUMBER, not the offending driver.

When a strike is assigned, the vehicle will get a DNF for that entire session, no times will be recorded for the offending vehicle.

If vehicle to vehicle contact occurs, the offending party will have their team DQ’d and disallowed to participate for the rest of the event.

Organizers can disallow any vehicle from participation at any time at their discretion.

Point-bys are mandatory – all vehicles should have operating drivers side windows to facilitate point-bys. If a vehicle passes another without a point by, a strike will be earned.

Paddock speed is a strict 15 mph – No warnings
