Re(2): Oswego Challenge Event 3 (Rulebook Procedure for Double/Single File Restarts) IP: 66.11.22.237 Posted on July 22, 2024 at 02:13:37 PM by JeffL
Sorry the formatting doesn't copy nicely into "boards2go" here, I tried to fix it by spacing for easier reading but this is the best I could to for formatting to try to make it read easier. This is from the 2024 rulebook (no change from the past few years):
S. Double File Restart Procedure: Used for Heats and Features (except the last 10 laps in the feature).
a. Race Leader has choice of inside or outside position and is the control car for the restart.
b. The 2nd place car must take the opposite position as the leader.
c. The 3rd place car must line up inside the second row, 4th outside the second row, etc. All lead lap cars must follow this order consecutively.
d. All lapped cars must line up in their respective order behind the last car on the lead lap.
• The highest running lapped car will be awarded a “Pass” (i.e. “Lucky Dog”) of 1+ Lap.
• Only one “pass” (i.e. “Lucky Dog”) awarded per incident (meaning, per completed lap). If the yellow comes back out again before a lap has been completed, there will be no additional “Pass” on that lap.
• Cars that have pitted or are issued a lap penalty by Race Director(s), must line up at the rear of the field (behind lapped cars) for the restart.
• All cars must maintain their respective track position and stay in their lane, nose to tail, until they have received the “Green” voice command by the race director.
• Double File Restarts will begin the same spot as the initial start of the race, coming out of Turn 4.
• Only ONE double-file restart attempt will be made per incident. If the caution flag is re-introduced for any reason before the next lap has been completed, the subsequent restarts on the lap will be Single File Restarts.
T. Single File Restart Procedure: Used after one attempt at a Double-File Restart has failed or with 10 laps remaining in the feature.
a. All lead lap cars shall remain in their respective positions except those involved in the incident or those pitting.
b. All lapped cars must line up in their respective order behind the last car on the lead lap.
• If within 10 laps to go, the highest running lapped car will be awarded a “Pass” (i.e. “Lucky Dog) of + 1 Lap.
• Only one “pass” (i.e. “Lucky Dog”) awarded per incident (meaning, per completed lap). If the yellow comes back out again before a lap has been completed, there will be no additional “Pass” on that lap.
• Cars that have pitted or are issued a lap penalty by Race Director(s), must line up at the rear of the field (behind lapped cars) for the restart.
• All cars must maintain their respective track position and stay in their lane, nose to tail, until they have received the “Green” voice command by the race director.
• Single File Restarts are paced by the leader and Green will be called in Turn 3. Replies:
