The rules and regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of racing events and to establish minimum requirements for such. These rules shall govern the condition of all in these events. Doe Run Raceway warns everyone racing is dangerous. You could be injured or killed. Even though we carry insurance, participate at your own risk. No expressed or implied warranty of safety shall result from this publication of rules. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators or others.

Track management reserves the right to add, amend, suspend or adjust any rule or procedure which they deem necessary to aid in the production of racing. The omission of any rule or procedure is not by any means an authorization to any participant to assume legality or permission. It is best to get the approval from management rather than be disqualified due to assuming. No equipment will be considered as having been approved by reason of having passed through tech inspection unobserved. All cars must be tech/safety inspected prior to competing. All cars not meeting minimum requirements as set forth in these guidelines will not be allowed to compete. All cars subject to tech inspection at any time.

For the purpose of these rules, all competing classes are referred to as “cars” .

Only one vehicle per race car is allowed in the pit area of Doe Run Raceway. Doe Run Raceway, Inc. is not responsible for damage to personal vehicles.

For insurance purposes, the pit area must be cleared within 60 minutes of the completion of the race program.

We are looking forward to a safe, fun season for everyone. By working together, following these guidelines, we can accomplish this goal. Please feel free to contact the raceway at (573) 756-8889 if you have any questions. You may also

RACEWAY POLICY REGARDING USE OF OR POSSESSION OF ILLEGAL DRUGS, DRUG SUBSTANCES OR ALCOHOL

A participant is defined as any person taking part in any event in any form, including but not restricted to drivers, car owners, mechanics, crew members, sponsors, track officials or pit area observers.

All participants are considered to be responsible for their personal conduct.

Illegal drugs are defined as those substances prohibited by state/or federal law.

Possession or use of illegal drugs, drug substances (as defined above) or alcohol is prohibited in any form, by any participant or fan at the raceway; whether on the raceway grounds or in any area to be considered to be used in the operation of the raceway, such as parking lots or leased properties.

Any person found to be in possession of or under the influence of an illegal drug, drug substance or alcohol on raceway property as defined above, or any person who is arrested by duly-constituted authorities and charged with possession and/or use of illegal drugs or drug substances shall be subject to the following penalties by Doe Run Raceway:

Any participant convicted of a formal drug charge by such process of law will be prohibited from taking part in any raceway event for a minimum period of one (1) year from the date of conviction.

If a participant is using prescription drugs on the advice of a physician, such use must be reported to the safety and protest official prior to the participant’s entry into any raceway activities. Failure to do so will subject participant to penalties as prescribed above.

Any participant suspended for violation of these rules may be granted an appeal hearing by the Board of Directors, provided the suspended participant requests such a hearing, in writing, within fourteen (14) days of the suspension. It is the responsibility of the suspended party to make such a request if a hearing is desired.

Any participant suspended for an illegal drug violation, except in the case of selling drugs, may as a result of a decision reached through the hearing process above, be reinstated, if it is mutually agreed the participant--at his or her own expense--will produce documentation from a physician licensed within the State of Missouri, certifying he or she is drug independent as a result of random and periodical examinations and urinalysis testing, made at the request of the Doe Run Raceway Board of Directors.

In addition, all participants under the age of 18 must have a copy of birth certificate or driver’s license and signed release form (signed by both parents) on file in track office before being allowed to compete.

Drivers meetings will be held from time to time. Attendance at these meetings is mandatory.

In the case of a significant change, you will be put on the back of the “semi-feature” or feature. A significant change is one that would necessitate making another heat race.

Line-ups will be posted. It is your responsibility to know when you are racing and be ready to go. The staging steward will check the line up and open the gate to allow cars onto the racetrack. Once the cars are out of the staging area, the gate will be closed. Once the gate is closed, no other cars will be allowed on the racing surface.

The top three finishers from each heat race and the top five finishers of each feature race are required to go directly to the scales. If you fail to go across the scales, we will assume you were too light and will disqualify you. The required weights are a minimum required.

Parents, please remember this is supposed to be a fun, learning experience for your child. Any parent who is ejected for poor sportsmanship toward any other individual at the raceway, whether it is a driver, car owner, parent, crew member, spectator, official or employee, will result in their car and child being ejected also.

Arguing With Officials

No arguing with officials or employees will be allowed. If you disagree with a call made, you may “discuss” it with the management AFTER the races are over. If you argue with an official’s call you will be jeopardizing your car. Our officials will be the ones to make the calls at our facility and there will undoubtedly be a wrong call made from time to time. But, you will have to accept that call if you want to race at this facility. There will be no profanity or obscene gestures made toward any official or employee of this facility. If such a situation arises, it will be dealt with immediately and you and your car will be banned from this facility as long as management deems necessary and you will lose any points you have accumulated up to that date.

No one is allowed to pass any cars until they have passed the second cone or it has been pulled. Anyone passing before they reach the second cone will be penalized two positions at the next yellow or at the finish of the race, whichever comes first.

For scoring purposes, the finish line is at the flagstand.

Heat race line ups will be determined by pill draw. Dash line up will be determined by finishing order of heat races. Example: 3 heats--top 2 finishers from each heat to dash, 2 heats--top 3 finishers from each heat to dash, 4 heats--top 2 finishers from each heat to dash and so on.

Semi Feature line up (if needed) will be determined by heat race finishes. Example: 3 heats--top 5 from each automatically qualify for feature; 4 heats--top 4 automatically qualify for feature, etc.
