6. AT THE TRACK
  
a) If we are at a double race weekend, and there are NO QUALIFING PASSES for the 2nd day, there are NO SHAKEDOWNS ALLOWED.

b) The qualifying and elimination time schedule will be up to the tracks. Please be ready to move to staging when we are called. Don't wait if you are ready. Waiting to the last second only makes us look bad and irritates the track officials.

c) You will get a stand-by call. You will have approximately 10 minutes from the first call to the lanes, to get up to staging.

d) If you have a mechanical problem and need more time, you should find a committee man and tell them. They will inform the track officials that we need a little more time for you. Please keep in mind that the committee men are racers too. They will appoint someone to go up to the tower if they are not able. We do not want our members running up to the tower and complaining. They do not appreciate it!! We have been asked by the track not to let this happen.

e) We all have bad days at the races. Please consider that there might be sponsors, spectators, children, roaming through our pits and watching in the stands that can see and hear you. There could be potential sponsors, for YOU and MWTS!! Please try and hold your emotions till you are back to your trailer or motor home. THANK-YOU!

c) The top 4 in accumulated points will run a shoot-out. This is a standard dial-in format full tree race. #1 in points will get lane choice and run #3 in points. #2 in points will get lane choice and run #4 in points. The final round, faster car from the 1st round will get lane choice. There will be 2 alternates. If for instance, #1 cannot be there, the 1st alternate will fill in the #1 slot. If someone cannot be there, that particular slot will be filled. The other 3 in order will not change.
