Running Rules
 
Track Rules supersede WILROC Rules

Sportsmanship
Sprint car racing is a very emotional sport. As such, good sportsmanship is the key element of any competitive racing program. This must include respect for all participants-drivers, owners, pit crews, and officials. For our part we will make every effort to be consistent with our rules regardless of whom or what is involved. We will treat all participants with respect and expect similar treatment in return. A racer’s pit area is his castle-therefore please stay out of other racer’s pit areas, especially after an incident when you have been involved with that racer. Drivers remember that you are responsible for the actions of your crew. Any offending parties will be fined appropriately and disciplinary actions will be initiated as deemed necessary.

1. All drivers must have a current rule book in their possession at every race event.
2. All drivers must attend the speedway and WILROC drivers meeting.  Subject to fine        and points loss if meeting is unattended by you or designated person.
