Procedures and Rules
--Race Night Procedure
-9pm est: Room will open at or slightly before. Drivers may enter the track and begin hot lap Qualifying. (Once on track, do not leave the track or enter the pits for any reason. Otherwise, your fastest lap displayed in your lap history mfd may be erased)
-9pm-9:25pm est: Open hot lapping. Until 9:25pm est. At that time, all drivers are to remain on track, park at turn 1, and set your mfd to the lap history which shows sector bests, fast lap, and optimal lap. (Your fastest lap will be your qualifying time.)
9:25pm est 9:35pm est: I will return to lobby, at which point I will scroll through each driver to take a picture of their lap history. (Please be sure to have the correct mfd display shown, and I'd ask all drivers to keep their cars static during this time)
-9:35pm -10:10pm est: Race 1 will start.
The Race Director will ask everyone to press "pause" to verify driver count shown at the bottom of the screen.
(See start procedure noted below.)

-10:20pm est: All drivers are to enter the pits only. Do not go out on track. The Race Director will ask everyone to press "pause" to verify driver count shown at the bottom of the screen.
(See start procedure noted below)
Starting Procedure
-Race 1 from the grid:
All drivers will be on the starting grid. After the lights go out, drivers should procede forward slowly in the same order and "row" they would be on the grid. Drivers are to tighten up side by side and hold at approximately 50 mph. Drivers must pay attention to avoid any contact with other cars at all times. (The race director will instruct the lead car as to when and where we will start. This can and will change based on track...could be the longest straight or the start/finish line..whichever gives us the longest straight for a clean start.) The race director will clarify to the grid where the start point will be as we are rounding the track for lap 1. Race length will be laps to equal 40 minutes, +1 lap.
-Drivers are not to try and attempt a jump on the start. Any drivers found to have throttled in before the row in front of them and gained a major advantage or are a cause of incident will recieve a 10 point penalty against their overall score for the night.
-1 Restart Caution will be available per race. Instructions to be noted in Confirmation Posts and Pre Race Briefings.
Race 2
-after our break, Race 2 will be started. No drivers are to leave the grid until called upon. Once the lights go out, the Race Director will call out the grid order and which side odd and even places are to line up. Each driver is to pull forward just before turn 1, and line up as instructed. Once the entire grid is in order and in formation, the Race Director will instruct the front row to lead us at the 50mph pace speed to the pre-determined start point. The race will start when they launch from a roll at the start point. Again, do not jump the start.
Scoring
-Qualifying laps will be recorded as noted above.
-until proper timing is made available to us, only qualifying times, starting order, finishing order, and Race placements and points will be shown.
