6. CONDUCT∗ Track officiating at CORA Speedway is a cooperative effort. Any driver or pit member age 16 or older may volunteer or be asked to officiate a race during an event. By everyone sharing this important responsibility, a greater appreciation of the complexity, volatility and distress will be recognized by all and will provide perspective from both ends of the racing spectrum. Racing is a highly emotional sport and tempers can quickly escalate into volatile situations. By all participates addressing each other calmly and with respect, we can minimize problem situations.∗ Due to the volunteer nature of the rotational track officials, fighting and unsportsmanlike conduct of any kind, by drivers, car owners, crew members or spectators will not be tolerated either on or off the track. No driver or member of his or her crew may approach the flagman, track official or the scoring booth. Any questions, comments, or complaints will first be handled by the track liaison. ∗ Any person fighting on premises will be permanently suspended.∗ Drivers are responsible for the conduct of their pit crew and spectators. Drivers are subject to penalty because of the actions of said people.∗ Any display of unsportsmanlike conduct including foul language (on or off the track) can result in a FINE, SUSPENSION, IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM RACE AREA, POINT PENALTIES, and or ALL OF THE ABOVE.∗ Penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct are detailed in the penalties section of this document.∗ Any driver who approaches an official while on the track for anything other than a safety issue will be placed at the back of the pack. If the driver continues to hold up the race will be black flagged and must leave the track.∗ Racing safely is the first priority at CORA Speedway, as a result, rough driving WILL NOT be tolerated. A car that is driving rough will be warned ONE time with a rolled up black flag. The next occurrence that night will result in a black flag disqualification of that race. Any driver who has been disqualified from a race as a result of rough driving will be subject to further disqualification without benefit of the rolled up black flag warning.∗ ALL ILLEGAL drug use is strictly prohibited and suspected influence can be reported to authorities.∗ ALCOHOL consumption at any time up to the checkered flagged being waived at the end of the last race of the event is prohibited.∗ Any driver, pit crew member or spectator suspected of being under the influence of acontrolled or illegal substance can be disqualified from further participation in the event.∗ All beverage containers are subject to inspection and confiscation at the discretion of the gate monitors, security personal or track officials. Confiscated containers will be returned upon the end of the event.


15

∗ CORA Speedway has a Members Liaison and a Race Day Official available during events to handle issues, disturbances and arbitrate grievances as needed. Issues can also be presented to the CORA Board in writing, (mail, fax and e-mail ok). The Member’s Liaison will make contact with you to address the issues.∗ No one is allowed on the track except for race officials. There will be a $25 fine for anyone that enters the track during a race without permission from a race official.
