| The Protest Rule
applies to ALL Plymouth Speedway classes |
| |
| A protest is to occur for a suspected rules
violation and nothing more. If at any time during the inspection of
the car that the protest has been waged against there is malice or
anger or any type of interference with the inspection from either
driver or crew, the driver will face disciplinary actions as deemed
sufficient by race officials. |
| |
| If at any time during the inspection there
is refusal to cooperate with the official, the car will be deemed
illegal. The protesting driver will be allowed to have one other crew
member present during the inspection. The protested driver will be
allowed two other crew members present. It is the responsibility of
the protesting driver to monitor the actions of his/her crew during
the inspection. Any interference or malice by the protesting driver
and/or crew members will result in total loss of protest fee and car
will be deemed legal. Any interference or malice by the protested
driver and/or crew members will result in the car being deemed illegal. |
| |
| You will only be eligible to protest if
you have at least 1 track point and raced the previous racing night. |
| |
| You will only be eligible to protest if
you and the car you are protesting are starting the AMAIN of that
night. |
| |
| Protest
Procedures: |
|
|
| 1. |
All protests must be in writing.
The protest form may be downloaded from our website or can be obtained
from the pit steward in the pit tower. |
| 2. |
Protest fees will be cash
only and will be equal to the feature winner payout of that
class. The fee must be included with the written form. The track will
retain 50% of the protest fee no matter the outcome. Modified fee
= $500; Super Street fee = $300; Thunder Stock fee = $200; 600 sprint
wing/nonwing fee = $300; 600 restricted sprint fee = $100. |
| 3. |
The written protest and protest
fee MUST be provided to the pit steward or general manager/head tech
prior to the car being protested has lined up for the AMAIN. Enough
time must be given to allow the pit steward or GM to inform the driver
that a protest will be waged against his/her car after the race. The
name of the protester will NOT be revealed to the driver at that time. |
| 4. |
If the protested driver chooses
to compete in the AMAIN, the protester must also start in the AMAIN.
If the protested driver chooses to compete, the written protest and
fee will be accepted by the track official. Both
cars with drivers MUST immediately go into the protest area in the
pits following the race. If the driver chooses to not
compete, the driver will be scored as a DNS and thus will not earn
points for the AMAIN nor earn any monies. 50% of the fee will be returned
to the protesting driver. |
| |
|
| Results: |
| The results of the inspection
will be revealed to each driver separately within 30 minutes after
the end of the inspection. Track officials are the final deciding
factor on whether the car is legal or illegal and track officials
are the final interpreter of the stated rules. |
| 1. |
If the car is deemed illegal, the driver
will forfeit points and monies earned from that day/night of racing.
The car will not be allowed to return until the illegal part or parts
are replaced. A follow up inspection may occur. |
| 2. |
If the car is deemed legal, the protesting
driver will lose the protest fee with 50% going to the track and 50%
going to the protested driver. |
