The radio and radio maintenance are the sole responsibility of the driver.
Drivers will be notified under caution if they are out of position. Following notification of his proper position a driver has one lap to get to his assigned position or he will no longer be scored. Because the radio and radio maintenance are the sole responsibility of the driver, if a driver is out of position and has a radio malfunction he can signal to the starter. An attempt to communicate his position will be made by blackboard for 2 laps. If the driver does not get the message or communication is unsuccessful and the driver is still out of position he will be sent to the rear of the field for the re-start – failure to go to the rear will result in the car no longer being scored.
The SOS will endeavor to have a supply of receivers on hand for rental to competitors who do not own or posses one.
Any
driver found sending radio transmissions, or receiving radio transmissions from
someone other than an official of the event, will be automatically disqualified.
Officials' radio communications overheard by others will never be used as
the basis of a protest, nor will they be used in support of a protest.
Two-way club frequency radios may be used on a club channel for official
use only.
1. Track preparations: All cars are required to help work in the track.
Penalties for failure to do so will be determined by the Competition Director.
2. YELLOW FLAG: All cars causing a yellow flag or stopping, will be placed
at the rear of the field.
3. YELLOW CHECKERED: If a caution and checkered flag are thrown together
all drivers who cross the finish line except the winner shall be scored back to
the last completed lap. The car (s) which caused the caution will be scored
behind the last running car on the same lap.
4. There will be no racing to the line.
5. The
starter will not give the competitors a move over flag or will not point to any
cars about to be lapped.
6. RED FLAG: When a red
flag is displayed all cars must stop as quickly and safely as possible at the
top of the racing surface – unless otherwise directed – this is to
facilitate the rapid ingress and egress of safety equipment and vehicles. For
the safety and well being of their fellow competitor, drivers are expected to
make every attempt to NOT pass the accident scene. If the race director feels
that this was disregarded by the competitor they will be disqualified.
A
driver will be allowed to work on his car on the racing surface under a red flag
condition providing no tools are used and the restart is not delayed.
The driver will maintain their position on the restart.
The spirit and intent of this rule is for safety reasons and will be
monitored closely. Refueling
may be allowed at the discretion of the race director.
During a red
flag a vehicle may be moved to the pit area for repairs - however this may not
be done until the starter signals his approval with the green flag. To
facilitate the removal of the car from the track, crew members will be allowed
onto the speedway HOWEVER the crew must receive approval of the pit steward or
his designate before moving onto the racing surface - as soon as the crew moves
onto the racing surface the car will be moved to the back of the pack for the
restart – even if the car is not moved off the speedway and no work has been
performed– when the car returns to speedway it will be at the back of the
pack.
If more than 1 car is pitted and returns to the race following a red
they will line up at the back of the pack in the order that they return to the
race. If a car is unable to return to the race prior to the one lap signal
indicating the restart they will not be allowed to return until the track is
again under caution.
Cars that the red flag was thrown for will be
placed at the back of the field- same as the rule regarding yellow flag. It
shall be the decision of the Flag Man/ and or Race Director as to the
interpretation of the incident.
7.

a) intentionally delay a race, b) have stopped motion; twice in a heat or three times in the
feature. The Exceptions are; When stopped by an official on track or under a red
flag, you did not cause.

point (usually the orange cone in turn four), b)
For each car jumped on the start or re-start, (jumping constitutes having any
portion of your car even with any portion of the car in front of you before the
pole car reaches the pre-designated starting point. The jumped car regaining his
position does not erase the jump).

pole car will start scratch. e) All cars must be nose to tail at the
cone, placed on the front straightway. Leader may set the pace. f) Two
position penalty or 1 lap penalty whichever is less severe for hitting or
driving under the cone. G) If on initial start, the race is not
successfully started after 3 attempts at a normal double file start (i.e. less
than 1 lap completed prior to a yellow) the race will be restarted using a
single file start.
13.
Race
procedures may be altered by the Competition Director.
14.
When
a yellow or red flag is thrown, line-up will be back to the last completed lap
15.
No
racing back to caution.
16.
When
re-lining after a caution, you will have two (2) laps after radio communication
given or the chalkboard has been shown to get into your spot, and then the green
flag will fall.
17.
If
you will not let a car in, you will be black-flagged.
18.
All
lapped cars will maintain their position in the field on restart line-up. If you
feel you are unsafe, drop low when the green flag drops to allow cars to go
around you.

in any race, heat or feature.
The following system is in effect for SOS Point Races only – A
draw or Passing Points OR Time trial system will be used in all
non-points races Including the Canadian Sprint Car Championship. Conversely,
competing in a non-points event does not give any handicap points credit.
The system outlined below is the SOS qualifying system for regular points races.
1.
Preamble:
The system is designed to reward regular participants while at the same time not acting as a major barrier to those that desire to compete with the SOS. Because of this, the system is relatively complex but is designed with fairness and safety for all concerned.
2.
Heat races:
The Race Director will determine the number of Heat Races prior to the
start of the night’s events and this will be announced at the drivers meeting.
The number of heat races is determined by the number of teams in attendance at
the time the driver’s meeting is called.
Except in Rare instances the number of heat races will be:
2 heat races: 17 or fewer cars in attendance
3 heat races: 18-27 cars in attendance
4 heat races: 28 or more cars in attendance
3.
Heat race starting position
Heat race starting position is based on an inversion of the handicap points:
For example - The driver in attendance with the lowest number of
handicap points will start pole for the first heat while the driver with the
highest number of points will start last in the last heat. *The SOS reserves the
right to move any car from their handicap position if they feel the driver or
car presents a danger to the other competitors if they start in their handicap
position.
4.
Feature Starting Positions:
Invert up to a maximum of 12 cars based on a 24-car starting lineup
– based on the heat race results. The lowest handicap car that qualifies for
the inversion from the heats takes pole. Qualifying for the inversion will
generally mean finishing in the top ½ of your heat. Race starting positions
will be selected from the top heat race finishers. The remaining starting
positions will be “straight-up based on heat race and (if necessary) B main
results
5.
The Handicap number is determined by the flowing:
All cars will earn a handicap number based on their results of the 3
most recent race events (events that do not award full points do not count).
The
handicap number is based on:
A:
The current SOS point system that is used is the SOS Championship point system.
Like the SOS point system these are driver points (not car)
B:
The SOS Championship point system with the exception of Cars that encounter
difficulty and are unable to start an event. They will be awarded handicap
points as if they started the race and finished 1 position behind the last place
car in the race.
C:
Non-points races are not included in any handicap calculation(s) and do not
impact or have an effect on handicap points.
D: IF a team has not competed in one of the 3 most recent events they will be awarded points as if they won their heat and the feature PLUS ONE POINT (173 points) for each event missed.
F:
For the first 3 events of any new season the previous season’s final 3 race
results will be used for calculating handicap numbers in the new season. For
example the first race of the year will use the results from the last 3 events
of the previous year to calculate the handicap number, 2nd current
year race will use last 2 events of previous year + 1st event of
current year and 3rd current year race will use last event of
previous year + 1st 2 events of current year.
G:
To aid those that for some reason are unable to make an event - Starting in 2003
every team will be allowed (1) one Missed Race Exemption per season and will not
be assessed 173 points. The system
will revert back 1 race to determine the handicap number. The missed race
exemption applies to the first race ONLY that a team has missed. A team CANNOT
choose which race will be their exemption. And the exempted race can NOT be from
the previous season.
H:
In the event of a tie in handicap points the driver with the best finish in the
previous race will be considered to have a higher handicap number.
