- Everyone please be patient with everyone.
- Opening lap, be patient going into turn one. I really do not want people quitting after one lap because of damage.
- Take it easy, these races will not be won on the opening lap but they could be lost.
- Two tires must always remain inside the solid white lines. This does not include the curbs.
- Bump drafting is permitted on all tracks within reasonable circumstances.
- Driving backwards on the track at any time will result in being asked to leave or a possible series suspension.
- Contact/rubbing is normal and expected. Please refer to The Golden Rule. Excessive contact will be penalized.
- Accidents happen, that is why we have cautions.
- Intentional or payback actions will be penalized.
- Lapped cars should avoid interfering or competing with lead lap cars.
- It is the lapped drivers’ responsibility to be aware of traffic coming through. It is also the responsibility of the lead lap car to find a safe way past the lapped car.
- Be patient with lapped traffic, if possible flash your headlights when approaching lapped traffic.
- The chat box is not to be used to criticize or berate anyone. It is a distraction to all the other drivers and only to be used for minimal communication.
- Standard race etiquette will be expected from all drivers.
- If you caused an accident, allow the car/s to rejoin ahead of you.
- All cars involved in an incident must rejoin the track safely and only when clear.

TBD
3 or more cars must make contact in a crash resulting from contact; or adverse racing (weather) conditions in general, with or without an accident.
If all cars are still facing the correct direction and moving forward, this does not necessitate calling a caution. This would be considered incidental contact or a racing incident. But if it seems warranted based on the amount of contact that took place, call a caution. Calling a caution is the responsibility of the drivers involved. All cautions will be reviewed by the stewards. Calling an unwarranted or incorrect caution could result in either a penalty or a post-race disqualification.

All cautions will be reviewed by the stewards. Calling an unwarranted or incorrect caution could result in either a penalty or a post-race disqualification.
To call a caution, you must type the letter "C" into the chat box.
Once the caution is thrown the overall race leader will gently slow down and all cars will group up behind. Any cars behind the incident may pass through. Cars rejoining the track must do so cautiously and blend back in with the field appropriately. After grouping up, all cars trapped between their class leader and the overall race leader (between them in the queue) are to take a wave-by at a specified time (called by actual IRS officials in chat and mic) and catch the back of the line without passing amongst themselves. Drivers that were "punted" on a road course will receive their position back under caution. After this is completed, the pits can be opened for everyone and the race can be restarted after any additional non-pit wave-bys are completed, with the classes separated at the restart by speed.
Upon exiting the pits, drivers will line up single file and prepare for the restart. The leader will initiate the restart in the restart zone. Do Not jump the start. Please respect the position in front of you. You cannot pass before you get to the start finish line. There will be no more cautions with 5 laps to go.
