Season 3 Rules and Regulations
Here are our general rules, procedures and expectations heading into season 3.
1.We follow the iracing rules of personal conduct. We expect every driver to be civil with each other and save the bickering and related talk until after the race event has concluded. This includes discussion within Discord and Race Comm. Remember, this is meant to be a fun evening and there's nothing fun about two or three drivers arguing during a race event. It's not good for anyone.
2. Every race video will be saved. If you have a problem with a competitor we ask that you send fill out the Incident Review Request form where you describe what you believe occurred. Each competitor is limited to three (3) submissions per season. We will review the incident and get back to you with what we saw. If the other driver needs to be consulted/counseled we will do so. That means, we might agree with you , or we might see it differently. Under no circumstances will we alter the race event scoring. Everyone please remember that with 40+ competitors each of you are likely to be on one end or the other of a situation more than once during the course of a 30 race season. Each of us is going to do a few dumb things out there! There will never be a beat down. We will have a civil discussion, coaching and encouragement in every case. There may or may not be penalties assessed at the next race event for protests and reviews that occurred at the previous event. These penalties include but are not limited to an eol, a drive thru black flag penalty, multiple black flag drive thru penalties, disqualification from the race, and removal from the league.
3. Revenge driving will not be tolerated. Accidents happen. If you retaliate and we confirm it you will get a week off. Do it a second time and you'll get suspended for multiple weeks, Do it a third time and you'll get the boot.
4. Iracing is responsible for all race night on track officiating. This includes yellow flags, black flags, wave arounds, lucky dogs and pit road penalties. Is it alsways fair? Not always. Is it consistent? Yes. Is it biased? Never. WE WILL NOT OVERRIDE A BLACK FLAG OR PIT ROAD PENALTY. I promise every driver will end up on the wrong side of a penalty at one point or another. We just have to accept that it will happen and move on with the race. Note that admin will attempt to speed up the end of a yellow flag from 2 to go to 1 to go if everyone is off pit road. Also, we will occasionally announce, pre-race, that a competition caution will occur at an announced lap. Also, we may override to a single file restart if there is an obvious problem recurring on restarts at a particular track.
5. The previous week's race winner will automatically receive an e.o.l. to start the next race at the rear of the field. This will not affect qualifying as points can be earned based on qualifying position.
6. Each driver is expected to announce when they are pitting by car number in race comm. They can do it either verbally, or by text message in comms (assign a hot kety to proclaim "truck # pitting" . Or both! Every driver is required to exit the pits and stay in the bottom race groove from the pit exit thru the next corner. DO NOT pull out of the pits and drive across the track into the middle or high race groove. Drivers on the track need to move to the second or third groove if they see someone attempting to merge into the bottom groove. DO NOT set a pick and run someone into the back of a truck rejoining the race from the pits while on the straightaway.
7. Admin will only communicate thru race comm during the event.
8. Lapped traffic is encouraged (but not required) to stay in the low groove when being overtaken. In the very least, we ask that lapped traffic be consistent in their race line. Note that lappers are not required to lay over at any time. It is encouraged that the lead truck communicate with lapped traffic via race comm (not discord)
9. Drivers are not permitted to race three wide for two full laps (across the start finish line) at the start of the race.
10. Driver are permitted to go below the bottom line, however, if they have not completely cleared the truck in front or beside them and rejoined the bottom groove above the line prior to entering the corner they must yield to that truck. Any question and the truck on the race surface has the right of way. This means if you haven't cleared them, brake hard and wait for an opening behind them, or just don't do it!
11. The league season is 30 races long, with your best 25 finishes counting toward the points championship. We expect/require that each member commit to and race in at least 15 of the events. If a member competes in less than 3 of the first 10 events, they will be removed from the league's active roster. We currently have 41 of 45 positions filled and expect to add racers as the season progresses. Anyone who doesn't meet the 15 race commitment will not be invited back for season 4.
12. We ask that each league member visit our website at www.wsliracing.com before each Monday night race event to get the latest information prior to race night. You will find it by selecting the "more" tab, then select "event information". There will be some valuable stuff there like scheduled laps, weather, tires, timing, etc..
13. No open mics on race night and no mics tuned to both discord and race comm at the same time (keyed to the same button). It creates a back echo, repeats itself and is damn annoying.
14. When entering pit road, stay to the right until you are 5 stalls from your pit and then work your way to the left. When immediately exiting your pit, go only one width from the pits stalls for two stalls, then you may/may not go further right. Don't go immediately right trying to block. It will cause contact/damage.
15. Do not intentionally make contact with other racers under caution. This includes trying to put heat into your tires. That is intentionally dumb. Don't do it. Also, any attempt to mess with another driver will be treated as revenge driving regardless of intent.
16. Be aware. If your truck is so damaged in an accident that you cannot efficiently get to the pits without stacking up the guys behind you and potentially causing them a black flag you should stop your truck, use "escape" and get towed in. Also, limping around with a meatball at a ridiculously slow speed and causing distress to your competitors is not good. Please avoid it if you are that slow. Get towed. If you are sure you can make it to the pits but you aren't at a great speed we ask that you call in on race comm and ask for an eol, which will keep fellow competitors from getting a passing under yellow penalty.
16. There is now an incident penalty count. In a race, if you accumulate 12 incidents iracing will administer a drive thru penalty that must be served under green flag conditions. Get to16 and you will receive another drive thru penalty. If you are disqualified for the event.
