2015 RULES ________________________________________________________________
GENERAL DISCLAIMER
The rules, regulations, procedures and information set forth herein are designed to provide for
the orderly conduct of motor racing events and to establish minimum acceptable requirements
for such events. These rules shall govern the condition of all ROCKY MOUNTAIN
RACEWAYS events, and, by participating in these events; all members and all others are
deemed to have complied with these rules. No expressed or implied warranty of safety shall
result from the publications of, or the compliance with, these rules, regulations or procedures.
They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee
against injury and/or death to participants, spectators or all others.
Track Officials shall be empowered to permit minor deviation from any of the specifications
herein or impose any further restrictions that in his/her opinion do not alter the minimum
acceptable requirements. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY
SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF SPECIFICATIONS. Any
interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the Track Officials. Their
decision is final.
RMR, Its owners, management, and or its officials reserve the right to revoke racing
privileges at any time and for any reason.
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.
Every organization, to be successful, must have good rules and fair enforcement. We believe
that the 2015 RMR Rules, utilizing the combined contribution of drivers, owners and crew
members, achieve the first of these objectives; throughout the year, RMR Track officials will
use their best efforts to accomplish the second.
RMR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THESE RULES AT ANYTIME.

Seat Belts
A. Each car must be equipped with an SFI-approved seat belt restraint system date coded
within 2 years including a 3” wide lap belt, two 3” wide over the shoulder straps plus
an anti submarine crotch strap. Approved seat belt restraint systems must have a
latching mechanism attached to the lap belt.
B. See Trains, Hornet, Jr Stinger and Double Decker for their class seat belt rules.
This latching mechanism must provide a common connection and release for the lap belt,
shoulder harnesses and the anti-submarine belt(s), and should be designed with a quick and
easy one-handed, gloved release of all belts in all conditions. It should have one (1) of two (2)
approved release designs:
(1) Latch/Lever: Utilizes a lever opening away from the body in a right to left hand
movement, parallel to the lap belt with a complete release of all belts. The lever should have a
provision to prevent an unintentional release.
(2) Cam Lock: A circular handle or raised surface that turns in both directions for a motion of
not less than 30 degrees before completely releasing all belts. A downward facing tab or
toggle may be used, provided that its length does not extend more than 1/2 inch beyond the
outer diameter of the release mechanism unless a provision to prevent unintentional rotation
or release is provided.
C. The seat belt restraint system should be installed in accordance with the directions
provided by the system supplier and/or manufacturer. In addition, please note the
following guidelines:
9
(1) Lap belts should be installed and used in such a manner that, when secured to the latching
mechanism, the seat belt webbing travels in a straight, clear and free path from the belt mount
through the seat opening to the latching mechanism. When the driver is buckled in the seat,
the free end of the seat belt webbing should rest in a position clearly aligned over the seat belt
webbing entering any adjustment or latch release hardware.
(2) On the left lap belt, if a roller adjuster is used, it must have tension springs installed and it
should be attached to and be part of the latch release mechanism directly with no webbing
loop. The roller adjuster should not be attached to the mounting tab. A 3-bar slider, threaded
to the manufacturer’s instructions, may be used for the left lap belt length adjustment, in the
absence of the roller adjuster. The 3-bar slider should be positioned outside the seat opening
and as close to the mounting tab as possible. Wrap-around style lap belt mounts and
hook/eyebolt style mounts will not be permitted; only tab style lap belt mounts secured with a
nut and bolt should be permitted.
(3) Shoulder belts should mount to Bar (7) or (7B) only (as shown in the roll cage diagram).
Only individual shoulder harness belts should be permitted. The seat opening should be a
single or double open slot with a finished inside edge or grommet. Y-type shoulder harnesses
will not be permitted. Wrap-around shoulder harness mounts will be permitted provided the
belts do not cross behind the driver and the belts should be retained by a guide on Bar (7) or
(7B) to prevent lateral movement. Shoulder belts may cross behind the driver provided they
use a tab style mount and not a wrap-around mount. Each shoulder belt using a tab mount
should use an individual mounting tab or a steel sleeve welded through Bar (7) or (7B) and be
secured with a nut and bolt. The seat opening should be a single, open slot with a finished
inside edge or grommet where the shoulder belts cross behind the driver. Roller adjusters on
the shoulder harnesses should have tension springs installed. Sternum or cross belts using
metal or hard surface hardware will not be permitted.
(4) Approved 6-point anti-submarine belts should be mounted to the seat frame or a steel
reinforced seat bottom mount. Either wrap-around or tab style anti-submarine belt mounts will
be permitted on 5-point or 6-point belts.
D. The manufacturer’s label should not be located under the adjusting mechanism when the
driver is buckled in the seat and has tightened the seat belts and shoulder harness. If the label
is under the adjusting mechanism, the label should be removed or relocated in a manner that
does not affect the integrity of the belt material. The date of manufacture should remain
visible on the belts at all times.
E. The driver should use the seat belt restraint system at all times on the race track, in
accordance with the instructions and/or recommendations of the system supplier and/or
manufacturer, as set forth above.
F. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER, NOT THE TRACK OFFICIALS,
OR THE PROMOTER TO INSURE THAT HIS/HER SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
AND ALL COMPONENTS ARE CORRECTLY INSTALLED, MAINTAINED AND
PROPERLY USED.
It is mandatory that all times on the track a driver wear gloves, shoes, neck brace or helmet
restraint system, suit of fire resistant material that effectively covers the body and have
adequate eye protection. Helmets must meet or exceed Snell SA2005 or SA2010 ratings.
10

use. No electronic monitoring computer devices capable of storing or transmitting information
except tachometers allowed on cars. Mirrors will not be allowed and must be removed during
a race event including practice sessions.
Competitors are solely and directly responsible for the safety of their racecars and racing
equipment and are obligated to perform their duties (whether as a car owner, driver, or
mechanic) in a manner designed to minimize to the best degree possible, the risk of injury to
themselves and others. RMR, TRACK PROMOTERS, TRACK OFFICIALS, TRACK
PERSONNEL ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ADEQUACY OF A COMPETITORS
RACE CAR, RACING EQUIPMENT, OR RACING ACTIVITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.
INJURY CLAIMS: All injuries incurred on the track or in the pit area must be reported on
the date of the incident IMMEDIATELY to the Officials Station. Bring your Pit Credentials
with you; claims cannot be processed unless an Accident Report and your credentials have
been submitted by track management to the insurance company on date of injury. NO
EXCEPTIONS!
OFFICIALS PRIVILEGE: Once over half the publicized distance is completed, officials
can call the race for any reason. Positions will be paid according to the last "green flag" lap.
NOTE: If at any time there are ANY discrepancies, track officials will inform you of their
final decision prior to the next race. OFFICIALS MAY AT THEIR DISCRETION, CHECK
ANY RACE CAR AT ANYTIME.
QUALIFYING CLASSES: Will be required to qualify in race dress. Ie; all belts, parts,
fluids, etc in place. Officials may invoke privilege and impound all vehicles between
qualifying and the next upcoming race event. No adjustments of any kind may be made
during impound. No parts or fluids may be added or removed during impound.
NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES MAY BE
BROUGHT INTO THE PIT AREA AT ANYTIME: You and/or your vehicles may be
subject to search while at RMR. Consumption of alcohol before or during a race or while you
are in the pit area is strictly prohibited. ONLY beer sold at RMR will be consumed on the
property. Driver will be subject to a fine and/or suspension for himself or any member of his
crew, etc. breaking this above rule.
There will be NO motorized or un-motorized vehicles of any kind, IE: bicycles, tricycles, 3

legal (with the exception of noted $50), remainder of the fee will automatically go to owner of
the car protested. If ILLEGAL, DRIVER WILL FORFEIT ALL POINTS AND PRIZE
MONEY FOR THAT EVENT and the protest fee will be returned to the protester (with the
exception of noted $50) and the driver will be responsible for paying the protest fee amount
and/or a fine which must be paid directly to RMR prior to the driver competing in another
RMR event in ANY class.
A $100 "Scoring Protest" will be accepted for all classes except trains; ALL SCORING
PROTESTS MUST BE MADE TO THE OVAL MANAGER, To have scorers recheck any
Main Event. The $100 fee will go directly to RMR, unless a scoring error is discovered and

will be accepted in regards to RMR officials’ calls, this protest has been added for scoring
discrepancies only.) Only the driver whose racecar competed in the Main Event may file a
written protest within 20 minutes following the posting of the results of the race, with the
Oval Manager.
Only the driver whose car competed in the Main Event may submit a written request for tear
down within 20 minutes of the finish of the race with the Oval Manager. All disassembly may
be done immediately or within 48 hours at a designated location per mutual agreement of car
owner, protester and RMR Track Officials. If driver or car owner will not honor the tear
down, they are automatically "non-conforming".
RMR COMPETITION ENGINE SWAP In order to maintain competitive balance, RMR officials may conduct a random engine swap via
blind draw in all spec engine classes. Rules and procedures will be announced at a later date.

Rocky Mountain Raceways
2015 Drug Testing/Alcohol Policy
What:
Rocky Mountain Raceways will conduct random drug/breathalyzer tests of both RMR
competitors and RMR staff members. We will test an undetermined number of racers and
employees picked at random on race day. All competitors, regardless of class, may be tested.
We have a mobile testing company that will be at our facility. You will be notified which
competitors will be tested on the day of the event. You will have until the scheduled deadline
to complete your test (trains and double decker’s must meet the deadline; both drivers must
test). If you fail to report to the testing station before the deadline, you will not be allowed to
compete that evening. It will also be considered a failed test. There will be no refunds given
for a “failure to report” situation.
Why:
Motorsports involves inherent risk. I need to make sure that I am providing the safest
possible platform for all of you to perform. If one of you is under the influence of illegal,
mind-altering substances while behind the wheel of a racecar, then I am failing the entire
group in providing a safe place to race. All of you should be at your full faculties when
sitting behind the wheel. It only takes a small slip up by someone not in the correct frame of
mind to cause a major incident and thousands of dollars in unnecessary damages, meanwhile
risking the safety of the racers, the patrons, and the RMR staff.
Penalty:
Upon a confirmed failed test, your racing privileges will be immediately suspended for the
next 3 events for your class. After the three race suspension, you will need to provide a
negative test back to RMR by the same testing company that will perform our tests on site to
regain racing eligibility. The cost for the follow up testing will be incurred by the driver in
violation. In the event of a failed test, information will be given to the responsible party to
make arrangements for further testing. We will have the full results of the tests within 3-5
business days of the test being administered.
Appeal:
If you are found with a positive test, you may appeal by having your sample re-tested within
48 hours of notification. The competitor will pay for the cost of the re-test. If the test comes
back negative, the track will reimburse the cost. If a race is missed during the process, the
track will reimburse the average purse for the class for the event missed and credit the average
class points for the event to the competitors overall points for the season after the driver pays
the missed event entry fee.
16
FLAG RULES
GREEN START OR RESTART OF A RACE When the yellow goes off during the parade lap, the flagman is prepared to start the race. All cars must
be closed up nose-to-tail and hold their positions until the flag is thrown. NO passing will be allowed
on the initial start until the green flag is thrown. Any car(s) jumping positions or holding up the race
will be sent to the rear of the pack. If the yellow flag comes out after the green flag has been thrown
and the first lap has not been completed, an original restart is required.
When taking the initial green and there is a yellow flag, there is a no fault restart policy. No
assessment of blame or involvement in a first lap incident or spin will be placed. All cars will be
given their original starting position back unless they go to the pit area in which case they forfeit their
original starting position and will start in the back upon returning to the track. The lineup at the initial
green will be the official starting grid. Rows will be moved forward to fill the empty positions.
Exception: If a car is determined to have caused a restart on purpose by spinning itself because of a
bad start, it may be placed in last place by track official’s discretion.
BLUE W/DIAGONAL YELLOW STRIPE MOVE OVER/FASTER TRAFFIC Only a lapped car will receive this flag, which indicates that faster traffic on the lead lap is overtaking
such car. When shown this flag, such car will move to the outside of the track allowing leaders to pass
by safely.
YELLOW CAUTION/SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY NO racing to the yellow flag-no passing allowed, hold your positions. Yellow flag laps will NOT
count unless race is in danger of reaching time limit. The restart line up will be determined from the
last completed green flag lap. All cars determined to be involved in the cause for bringing out the
yellow or red may be sent to the rear of the field at RMR official’s discretion. If the driver determines
that they were the cause of the accident, by tapping the roof they will be sent to the back while all
other involved competitors return to their position in the field. The leader may be reinstated to their
position should the officials determine that the leader was spun from directly behind and beyond
their control. The race official will attempt to go yellow whenever the leader is involved. NO ONE
from the pits is allowed onto the track or the infield during a yellow flag.
RED RACE IS STOPPED!!! The red flag means that the race must be stopped immediately regardless of the position of the cars on
the track. All cars will be brought to a complete stop in an area designated by RMR officials. Any car
that has not come to a complete stop and remain stopped will be automatically disqualified from the
event. Any cars leaving the race surface during a red flag without the direction of the officials or safety
teams will automatically be disqualified. NO ONE from the pits is allowed onto the track or infield
during a red flag. Safety crews, ambulance personnel and track officials are the only people permitted
to assist at the scene of an accident. The track officials may display a combination of yellow and red
flags to indicate that the track is now safe for the vehicles that need repair to proceed directly to the pit
area only. All other cars must remain completely stopped. NO WORKING ON THE CARS ON THE
RACE TRACK. If a car needs any repairs at all, it must go into the pits. Cars that are not ready or
prepared to race will be pushed into the pits or infield and not allowed to further compete.
BLACK REPORT TO PITS IMMEDIATELY A car receiving the black flag must go immediately to the pits. The black flag will be waived once in
warning for unacceptable driving and/or car malfunction(s). Upon the second time black flag is
displayed, it will signify the last scored lap for a racecar and if said car does not proceed immediately
into the pits, the appropriate fines and/or suspension will be utilized by track officials.
17
WHITE START OF THE LAST LAP Once the white flag is displayed, the checkered must follow. If a caution occurs on the final lap, it is
the sole discretion of the Oval Manager to determine order of finish.
CHECKERED END OF THE RACE When the checkered flag has been displayed to the lead car, the balance of the field receives the flag
on the same lap. Track Officials decisions are final.

RMR CRATE MOTOR FIX PROGRAM
New program for 2015
A 602 crate motor with issues may be brought to the Oval Manager for the purpose of trying
to repair internal engine issues.
Procedure:
Teams may bring a sealed crate motor to RMR. RMR will take the motor to a machine shop
of their choice. $ 300 in process fee will be given to RMR at the time of the engine exchange
which will go to the machine shop in order for the shop to perform an inspection and
teardown of the motor to determine the issue. This money is nonrefundable.
An estimate will be given by the machine shop for the amount it will take to fix the engine.
The racing team may then elect to have the repairs made for the estimated amount or taking
the engine back. When completed the engine will then be checked to make sure it follows the
same specs as original manufactured and resealed by the track.
