beyond as needed. The remaining grid positions will be filled by those entering the Runoffs from the Divisional Path or Defending National Champion
Path based on Runoffs registration date. Grid Positions for the first qualifying session will be posted at Driver Information on Sunday, September
20, 2015. Grid positions for qualifying sessions 2, 3 and 4 will be determined by the cumulative fastest times from the previous session(s). This
process is NON-PROTESTABLE.
 Combined Sessions: For combined groupings on the first day of qualifying, the group will be sorted by class with the group with the fastest track
record going first. Positions within each class will be determined by the process described in the preceding bullet. For the second and third
qualifying sessions, the group will be split by class by times from the previous session (s) with the class with the fastest qualifier going first. This
process is NON-PROTESTABLE.
 A white flag will be shown on the first lap of each group’s first qualifying session at each staffed corner station, per GCR 6.1.1.E. This is
informational only.
 Cars not on the grid at the one-minute signal shall relinquish their qualifying grid position and start the qualifying session from the rear of their
class, if the second group has not yet been released, or from the rear of the second group if it has.
Eligibility for a Race Start: Competitors must qualify within 115 percent of the fastest qualifying time in the competitor’s class in order to be eligible to
start the race (“eligibility window”).

Sound Control will be in effect for this event. GCR 5.7.3.
The black flag station is located at Turn 6, Driver’s Left.
Chicane: Competitors unable to safely negotiate the turn into the chicane MUST bring their car to a complete stop at the exit of the chicane before reentering the course. Competitors MUST NOT gain an advantage by cutting the chicane; a penalty may apply.
Pit Lane: Competitors must stay within the marked lane that starts at NASCAR Turn 4, paralleling the apron until the turn off to pit lane, when exiting
the track by the pit lane. Competitors must keep to the far right (NASCAR Fast Lane) when traversing pit lane.
Lights on Banking: Yellow lights are located at Start/Finish and at NASCAR Turns 1,2,3 and 4. When flashing, the lights have the same meaning as a
double yellow (full course yellow) condition; the flashing lights may also indicate a black flag all condition. Due to the long distance after turn 7,
competitors are urged to pay careful attention for flag conditions when approaching Start/Finish. If a red flag needs to be displayed, lighting on the
banking may not change, but the red flag ALWAYS has precedent over any other flag or light.
Cars running in evening sessions under the lights must run with their stock headlights and running lights on at all times. Additional forward-facing
driving lights may be added, but may not substitute any stock lighting.
GRID
Cars shall enter the race track through the grid area located on the East end of the infield, adjacent to NASCAR Turn 4.

With the permission of the Chief Steward, multiple-class competitors who have back-to-back qualifying sessions may have their second car staged in
the pit lane at the rear of the grid. The competitor shall forfeit his/her qualifying grid position, and shall be released from the pit lane at the back of
the field.
START/FINISH
THE START/FINISH LINE FOR ALL STARTS AND RESTARTS IS AT THE START LINE LOCATED AT THE TRI-OVAL AREA.
At the start of each race, through the completion of the first lap, no vehicle shall pass below the yellow line in the tri-oval area.
Pace laps: There will be one (1) pace lap at the start of each race. This lap does NOT count as a race lap.
Wave Off: In the event of a wave off, the field will continue at the established pace car speed until the green flag is displayed by the Starter.
Should the Chief Steward determine that a false start has occurred, the competitor(s) deemed to be at fault may be black-flagged and held up to one
(1) minute in pit lane. Other penalties may also be imposed per GCR 7.2.
Length of Race: Official track length is 3.56 miles. All races will be fourteen (14) laps (49.84 miles) or 40 minutes, whichever comes first. The 40minute clock starts when the first car crosses the Start/Finish line at the end of the scheduled pace lap. The 40-minute clock will not stop for any
situation prior to race end. Finishers are defined according to GCR 5.10.4.B.3. The posted race times reflect the time of the first car on course.
One Lap to Go: A waving white flag may be displayed at Start/Finish indicating the last lap if possible. This flag is informational only; failure to display
it is NON-PROTESTABLE.
Victory Lap: Each class winner may take a victory lap, GCR 6.11.7.
Trophies and medals: Medals will be awarded to first through third place finishers, and trophies will be awarded to first through sixth place finishers.

The substitute competitor/car combination shall re-qualify, if another qualifying session is available, or be gridded at the rear of the grid if another
qualifying session is not available. The competitor may return to the original competitor/car combination, in which case the competitor may request
the Chief Steward to reinstate the qualifying position and/or times posted by the original combination.
Tire Rules: Formula Mazda Tire Rule 9.1.1.E.14. (A, B, C), Enterprises Sports Racer Tire Rule 9.1.8.F.13. (a,b,c), and FE Tire Rule 9.1.1.I.13 (a,b,c)

and T4 classes are restricted to 93, 98 or 100 octane unleaded. All other classes, except those required to use diesel fuel, may choose to run any of
the available gasolines, including 93, 98 or 100 octane unleaded and 110, 112, or 116 octane leaded. The 93 and 100 octane unleaded fuels contain
ethanol. Fuel will be available from Sunday, September 20, 2015 through September 26, 2015 from 8:00 am – 5:30 pm, and on September 27, 2015
from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm. Maximal 116 octane gasoline and diesel fuel is available only in 55 gallon drums and must be pre-ordered through Rick
Williams, Southern Racing Fuels (gojuiceman@aol.com or (877) 240-3278)) before September 11, 2015. No other fuel will be sold in drums.
 Competitors shall declare which fuel they are using.
• Mixing fuels of different octanes is prohibited.
• These fuels shall be purchased from temporary tanks and will be tested in accordance with the official Runoffs® fuel testing procedures, which
include physical properties, dielectric constant, ISO Tag content, and specific gravity. These procedures will be available in Tech.
• Competitors are strongly urged, at a MINIMUM, before the first session or when changing fuel brands or grades, to drain the fuel tank/cell, then
add a few gallons of the chosen fuel, run the car, and drain the remaining fuel. Adding Runoffs-compliant fuel to a fuel tank/cell containing even
insignificant quantities of other fuel is likely to result in test failure. Cleaning the tank/cell is strongly advised.
• Fuel testing will be available to all competitors on a voluntary basis subject to the workload in Tech. Priority will be given to competitors who have
not previously had their fuel tested. The scheduled times for voluntary fuel testing will be posted at Tech.
• Fuel testing for compliance with the Supplemental Regulations may be implemented during qualifying and post-race inspection.
• Shipment of fuel samples to Chempro for analysis will not be possible during the Runoffs since all activities must be resolved during the event.
Data Acquisition: SCCA Technical Staff and/or Club Racing Board members and their delegates may install data acquisition equipment in a
competitor’s car. This program is to assist the CRB in competition adjustments. The data collected will not be used for compliance purposes at the
2015 Runoffs. Participation is mandatory, not optional, and is NON-PROTESTABLE.

discretion. Cars directed to impound after the qualifying sessions must go directly to Impound.
Post Qualifying Compliance Verification: Scrutineers may employ non-intrusive measuring devices (P&G gauge, Whistler, etc.) throughout the week.
These devices are used as a quick estimate of the measurement and readings may not be identical to those done during a detailed inspection, which
4
Supplemental Regulations may occur at a later time. Scrutineers will note any non-compliant items observed during this inspection on an “Official Report” and process it with
ACS - Tech. Tech will remove the Runoffs® Decals from cars found to be non-compliant. The car must be presented to Tech in a compliant
configuration before replacement Runoffs® Decals will be issued.
10.4. Eligibility and Preparation Resolution: Matters of eligibility and preparation will be resolved as soon as possible after the final qualifying session for
