SOUVENIR TRAILERS

Any driver or vendor who wishes to take their own souvenir or sales trailer to SAS Sanctioned events are subject to requirements of the local track promoters. Drivers or vendors should contact the track promoter in advance to meet the requirements of the track promoter.

SIGN IN

It will be the responsibility of all drivers and/or teams to register, pass technical inspection and pay their entry fee for all SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES events. The registration will be conducted at the SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES tech trailer at the location designated in the pit area upon arrival at the track. Payment, drawing and preliminary inspection must be completed prior to the start of qualifying.

NOTE: It is a condition of entry that a Driver Registration Form and any other necessary documents have been completed and handed in prior to a driver's first series race of the season. If the driver changes cars or teams during the season it is the driver's responsibility to re-register. It is also the responsibility of the teams/driver to fill out a sponsorship registration card upon sign in.

These cards will be used for the announcement and publication of sponsors throughout the season. If there is a change in sponsorship it is the team/driver's responsibility to make the necessary changes.

Entry Fees are as follows:

All 2008 Events are $100.00

Entry fees will be used for SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES to supplement the point fund, pay officials and administrative costs. If you suffer a mishap before qualifying has begun, you can opt to withdraw and your entry fee will be refunded. Once qualifying starts NO refunds will be given.

The only drivers who will be allowed free entry fees to all events will be past SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES Champions and the previous year's Rookie of the Year.

In the event of a rain out, cancellation or postponement (other than next day) all entry fees will be refunded or held over at the team/driver's request.

NOTE: Entry fees are collected on a race to race basis. Each race will be separate. Only in the event of a situation described above will the entry fees be carried over. The entry fees collected will be good for that event only. Drivers & teams may only pay for one event at a time.

NOTE: All super late model team personnel will be required to pay for individual pit passes. In the event of cancellation, rainout, or postponement, (other than next day) pit passes will be rain checked or refunded according to the track's policies upon presentation of tickets. Do not lose your tickets - NO TICKETS = NO REFUND OR RAIN CHECK. The fact alone that you were in the pits will not guarantee a refund or rain check.

DECALS

NOTE: There are three (3) decals that must be carried on the car in order to earn both points towards the season championship and prize money. These 3 decals are the Southern All Stars racing Series decal, the HOOSIER RACING TIRES decal and the SUNOCO Race Fuels decal. While the series is aware of and has no wish to cause conflicts between teams and sponsors, it must be realized that the Bearden Oil Company / SUNOCO Race FUELS and HOOSIER TIRE CORPORATION are major contributors of the season point fund. There is no compulsion to actually use SUNOCO products; however, the decal must be present on the car for consideration for the season championship.

These decals must be on both sides of the car, at every series race in which the car competes.

CONTINGENCIES

Certain other products manufacturers will be awarding contingency prizes or cash to drivers finishing in the feature and in the year end point standings. These awards are dependant upon the manufacturer decal being carried on the race car. If you wish to be eligible to receive awards from the manufacturer it is your responsibility to ensure that the correct decal is affixed to your race car. Also please be aware that the series responsibility is ONLY to provide the manufacturer with your name and address and not to pay the award. All cars finishing the feature races will be checked by series personal for the appropriate decals.

Any other SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES sponsor decal that is carried on the car must be affixed prominently. There is no compulsion to carry any other sponsor's decal, however, it is worth bearing in mind that sponsors only supports the series and its teams to gain exposure for their products—no exposure will eventually mean no support.

TECHNICAL INSPECTION

Technical inspection will be held at the SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES trailer or at an area designated by the Technical Inspector. All drivers must enter their car, pay their entry fee and pass SAS technical inspection prior to competing in a SAS sanctioned event. No Exceptions. When the car is presented for technical inspection the Hood must be removed.

•  All racecars must pass through technical inspection prior to the beginning of qualifying.

•  ALL cars must pass inspection in order to receive a tech/weight sticker.

•  Any changes or alterations required must be completed and the car returned to for re-inspection before hot laps - No sticker means no hot laps - No exceptions .

•  After a car has passed inspection and a sticker has been issued no alterations may be made to the car - Any changes to spoiler height, deck height, quarter panels, doors or any other part of body will result in a loss of qualifying time or loss of position in either the heat race or last chance race.

•  Spot-checks can be made by the Technical Inspector at any time. Penalties will be applied to cars found illegal after Tech stickers have been issued. If a car is found illegal after qualifying the driver will lose his time and start at the rear of a heat race. If a car is found illegal at the start of a Heat race, the driver will lose his time and have to start at the rear of a last chance race.

•  Any car found to be illegal as a result of changes on the starting grid for the feature, heat or last chance race will result in immediate disqualification. The spot would then be filled by the next alternate.

•  PLEASE NOTE : If changes need to be made to a car (such as changing tires) once it has been put into position on the starting grid for the feature, the car may not leave the grid to make changes until the field has been sent off on the warm-up laps. It is the driver's responsibility to return before the one-to-go signal has been given in order to retain his original starting position or start from the rear. No Exceptions.

•  A MINIMUM of three (3) cars may be re-inspected at the conclusion of competition on each day of an event - for either a 2-day or 1-day show. The three cars will be made up of the top three finishers in a racing event.

•  Each of these 3 cars may have their motors “pumped” via P&G if they are claiming anything other than the open engine weight. Any car found illegal during this inspection will be disqualified from the event - any given last place money and last place points.

•  If a motor inspected with the “P & G” gauge has readings that prove to be questionable for size, Series Officials reserve the right to pull the heads and to check cylinder sizes by alternate means.

•  Teams whose cars are found illegal have the option of tearing down the engine in an effort to prove legality. This option may result in other inspections being made. Be Warned!

•  Teams that are not present at the end of the event to present their cars for post race inspection by the Technical Inspector, if required to do so, may be disqualified from the event.

HOT LAPS

All Drivers will be allowed only one (1) hot lap session at each event. Hot laps will be conducted in set groups in order as per their pill draw. Drivers and/or teams are responsible for knowing what group that they are in. Line-ups will be posted at the SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES trailer, in the pit area and at track posting stations as available. Drivers must hot lap in their assigned group. If a driver is unable to hot lap with his designated group, that driver will not be allowed to hot lap. No Exceptions.

QUALIFYING

As in hot laps, drivers must qualify in order as per their pill draw. Drivers must be in staging and in proper order when called for. If the driver is not present at the time his designated qualification spot comes up the driver will forfeit his qualifying run and will start from the rear of the heat races or last chance race. No Exceptions.

Cars will be weighed after qualifying laps are completed whenever possible. Depending on the layout of the host race track this procedure may be altered at the discretion of Series Officials and will be announced at the drivers meeting.

All cars that are judged to be light when crossing the scales after qualifying will lose their qualifying time and will start at the back of a heat race or last chance race. If there is more than one car that has been judged light, those drivers will be lined up at the back of the heat races or last chance race by their qualifying order.

Cars judged to be light will be rolled off the scales one time for zeroing and a reweigh. No other reweighs will occur.

All drivers should make every effort to visit the scale prior to qualifying to ensure weight compliance by the host tracks scale. The host tracks scale is the OFFICIAL scale and will be the only one used to determine weight compliance.

NOTE: Remember that all cars must cross the scales at their claimed weight during qualifying. There is no burn-off allowance for qualifying weights.

RACE FORMAT

Standard Format A

Drivers will register and draw a pill to determine the order of qualifying.

Drivers will receive two timed qualifying laps with the fastest of the two used to determine his starting position for the feature and/or the qualifying heat race.

The top ten qualifiers from time trials will be locked in to the top ten positions in the feature.

All drivers not locked in to the feature must run a heat race or a last chance race in order to transfer to the feature unless the driver is eligible for a point or track provisional.

Three, four or possibly six qualifying heats (depending on car count) will be run. The number of laps and cars in each qualifying heat will be determined by the Series Director and announced at the drivers meeting.

The eleventh fastest qualifier will be on the inside pole for qualifying heat one; the twelfth fastest qualifier will be on the inside pole for qualifying heat two and so on down through the field.

The number of heats to be run will be determined solely by the Series Director and will depend on the number of cars present, track conditions and the host race track concerns.

The number of qualifying heats will determine how many will transfer from each heat.

Three heats – top four transfer to feature

Four heats – top three transfer to feature

Six heats – top two transfer to feature

A MAXIMUM of 24 to 26 cars will start the feature depending on SAS Provisional Starters and the Promoter Options. 24 cars is the standard field for the feature but a promoter has the option to add two cars to the field. (See Promoters Option)

The pole position driver does not have the option to start on either the inside or the outside of the front row either for heat races, last chance races or the feature. He must start in the number one (1) position on the grid.

Delaware Style Double File Restarts will be utilized in qualifying heats up to the halfway point and in the feature up to the ten laps remaining point unless track conditions dictate otherwise. The use and/or discontinuation of the restart format is at the sole discretion of the Series Director.

Standard Format B

Drivers will register and draw a pill to determine the order of qualifying.

Drivers will receive two timed qualifying laps with the fastest of the two used to determine his starting position for the qualifying heat race.

The number of heats and last chance races to be run will be determined solely by the Series Director and will depend on the number of cars present, track conditions and the host race track concerns.

Four or possibly six heat races will be run to set the first sixteen positions in the feature starting grid.

The number of qualifying heats will determine how many will transfer from each heat.

The drivers not transferred to the feature will be divided equally into last chance races.

A total of six additional drivers will transfer to the feature from the last chance races.

A MAXIMUM of 24 to 26 cars will start the feature depending on the Promoter / Track (see Promoter's Options). 24 cars is the standard field for the feature but a promoter has the option to add two cars to the field. (See Promoters Option)

The pole position driver does not have the option to start on either the inside or the outside of the front row either for heat races, last chance races or the feature. He must start in the number one (1) position on the grid.

Delaware Style Double File Restarts will be utilized in qualifying heats up to the halfway point and in the feature up to the ten laps remaining point unless track conditions dictate otherwise. The use and/or discontinuation of the restart format is at the sole discretion of the Series Director.

The SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES reserves the right to alter or amend these formats in the interest of showmanship and/or fair competition.

Drivers who have not met this requirement are not eligible for a provisional start.

For the first event of the season the series will use the 2007 series standings, then on the second event the series will use one provisional from the 2007 standings and one from the 2008 standings for the next two events.

After the first three races the provisional starters will then come off the 2008 series point's standings, determined by the highest driver in the standings regardless of position in points.

Drivers will start the season with ten (10) provisionals each. Drivers will earn one (1) additional provisional for every 10 events entered.

CHANGES/SUBSTITUTIONS

At the discretion of the series director, drivers may change to any car and/or car owners may change any driver at any time between qualifying and the start of the feature.

If a car not already entered, driver must bring car for technical inspection before it can be allowed to compete.

Any driver or car owner who fails to notify Series Officials of a change can result in a complete disqualification and/or loss of prize money and points.

RADIOS

RADIOS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THE 2008 SEASON

RACE PROCEDURES AND RULES

The use of the RaceCeiver or a like communications device is required at all SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT SERIES events. The RaceCeiver can be bought or rented from the Series at the event. Any RaceCeiver or like device that is compatible may be used. The frequency shall be announced at the drivers meeting.

Standard flagging procedures will be used for each event. If for any reason the race is run one lap short or long the race is officially over when the checkered flag is displayed to the leader

After an on-track incident, the car or cars that come to a stop on the race track that were directly involved in the incident will be those that are sent to the rear of the lap which they are scored on before the re-start. Any cars that stop or spin out to avoid running into an incident will be allowed to keep their previous position.

STARTS AND RESTARTS

•  Once the field has been sent away for the pace laps any warm-up laps at racing speed can be considered a penalty and the offending driver or drivers will start the race from the rear of the field. Sufficient laps to warm up engines, transmissions and tires will be given.

•  ANY D RIVER OR DRIVERS JUMPING ORIGINAL START ATTEMPT WILL BE WARNE D FOR ON THE FIRST OFFENSE. THE SECOND OFFENSE WILL RESULT IN THE OFFENDING DRIVER BEING PUT BACK ONE ROW.

•  A designated starting point will be determined by the Series Director and announced at the drivers meeting. This will be marked with a chalk line before each start or as needed.

- OSAS will utilize “Delaware Double-file” restarts during its 2008 events. This will happen until the halfway point of heats or last chance races and up until 10 laps to go in the feature or until a point the Series Director determines they are no longer safe or in the best interest of competition.

Heats, Last Chance or Features

•  The designated starting point shall be marked in the announced manner.

•  After the “one lap to go” signal has been given, the field must maintain an orderly, controlled pace around to the starting point with the front row running side by side. The inside pole-sitter will set the pace going into turn 3 and maintain that pace going to the line. It is the responsibility of the outside pole sitter to keep his car even with the pole-sitter. Provided that the line up is good, the race will be started.

•  Anticipating the start or firing before the green light or flag will be considered a penalty if the offending driver or drivers advance their position prior to reaching the start/finish line. Those drivers will be sent to the tail at the next caution period.

•  In the event of a caution before the first lap is completed the field will be lined-up for a complete re-start in the original starting grid order provided there are NO penalties to be assessed.

•  Any driver, who comes to a stop during the first lap and, in the opinion of the Officials, has done so deliberately to cause a re-start, will be put to the rear before the race is re-started.

Any driver who is scheduled to start in the feature and is unable to start will lose his position to an alternate. Alternate drivers will be notified of their positions and they must be prepared to line-up on the grid within five minutes of being called. Once an alternate has been called forward to take your position, you may not re-claim that position.

No alternates will be allowed to start after the field has pulled away from the starting grid.

In the event that a driver is unable to take up his assigned grid position, the cars in that row will be moved forward to fill the position. The grid will not be crossed and re-aligned. Alternates will join on at the back of the field and not in the empty position(s).

CAUTION PROCEDURES

There will be no racing back to a caution except on the final lap once the leader has been shown the white flag. The field will then race back to the checkered flag. The flagman will turn on the yellow light but leave the green on as well as an indicator to the field they are racing back to the checkered flag.

In the event of an unsafe condition or completely blocked track on the final lap, the red flag will be displayed and the field will realign as it was on the last completed lap for a green, white and checkered finish.

In the event of a caution, the car or cars involved in the incident that comes to a stop on the race track as a part of the original incident will be sent to the rear. All cars that are indirectly involved in the accident (spinning or stopping to avoid the wreck) or subsequently spin will be given their position back.

In the event of either a caution or a red flag after one (1) lap has been completed any car that goes into the pits will rejoin the field at the tail of the lap they are scored in.

In the event of a caution or a red flag on the initial start attempts drivers may enter the pits for repair and assume their original grid positions provided that they have returned to the track prior to the one to go signal being given.

In the event of a caution, all lapped cars will line up for the re-start at the rear of the field by position on the racetrack and according to the previously completed lap.

In the event of a caution the field will realign for a re-start in the order of the last completed lap. NOTE: In order to retain its position a car must have been in that position for one complete lap, including lapped cars.

Any driver that spins, for any reason, as he is being lapped, or is about to be lapped by the leader and brings out the caution may be scored one lap down from that point onwards in the race.

No crew members are allowed to work on any car that is still on the racing surface or is in a dangerous position in relation to the racing surface. Any member of any team who works on the car during a caution or red flag while the car is still on the track will be judged to have made a pit stop and will be sent to the tail of the lap on which they are scored.

In the event of an accident drivers who are not in imminent danger should not get out of the car unless you are told to do so by an official or safety worker. Drivers who exit without due cause will be sent to the rear of the field or possibly even disqualified depending on the circumstance.

Any driver that is involved in two cautions will be blacked flagged from event. This however does not constitute a disqualification as the driver will be paid for their finishing position and awarded points.

In the event that a driver suffers a flat tire, during the feature only, the driver will be granted a minimum of two courtesy laps to change the tire and rejoin the field. Drivers should make Series Officials aware of the need for the two lap courtesy. The laps will only be granted once per feature event and will only be granted for a tire that is actually flat.

Southern All Star Series Officials will do NO on track repairs of any kind no matter how minor. Officials may change out RaceCeivers, give drivers rags or other items as deemed necessary by the Series Director.

PENALTIES

Black Flag - means that you have been sent to the pit and will take no further part in the race you were participating in currently on the track. Once a driver has been issued a black flag the driver should exit the speedway immediately. Failure to do so could result in a complete disqualification from the entire event.

ON TRACK PENALTIES

The following penalties will be applied after normal caution procedures have been followed unless special circumstances apply:

•  Under green flag or caution flag conditions, the SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES Director reserves the right to invoke penalties, suspensions or fines to any driver whose actions are deemed to be overly aggressive or fall into the category of “rough driving.”

•  Drivers will be notified of any penalties that have been levied by the Series Director. All decisions shall be final.

•  This rule is not intended to eliminate competition or accidental contact - it is, however, intended that deliberate contact and/or over-driving, will be penalized.

•  Any physical confrontation, either on the race track or in the pit area will result in the aggressor or aggressors being disqualified, suspended or fined up to $1500.00 at the discretion of the Series Director.

•  A second offense will result in suspension for the rest of the season.

•  Any driver who enters another driver's pit area will be deemed the aggressor. Away from either

drivers pit area, both drivers will be considered aggressors. Drivers should be aware that they will be held responsible for all members of their race team and the above penalties may apply even if the driver is not directly involved.

•  Any incidents that occur during the last THREE events of the season could result in penalties being applied at the beginning of the subsequent season.

•  Any incidents that are judged to be “deliberate acts of aggression “, whether on or off the track, under green or caution will result in an immediate disqualification.

•  The Southern All Star Racing Series Officials reserve the right to increase the above penalties depending on the scope and severity of the incident.

TIME

ALL DRIVERS PLEASE NOTE: All Events will be conducted according to a schedule and in a timely manner. Features will be started early whenever possible. Schedules will be posted in the pits and at the SAS Tech Trailer (as will Line-ups and qualifying orders). It is your responsibility to adjust your work load accordingly and be ready when called.

As a general rule, from the end of a previous event on the track, you will have a MAXIMUM of 10 minutes to be in position, either on the grid or in the staging area, for your scheduled event. During heat races drivers must report to the staging area prior the end of the previous heat. During driver introductions for the feature drivers will have 10 minutes to be on grid, if a driver is not in position by the required time during the program they will start from the rear of the field.

It should also be noted that cars must be presented for Technical Inspection when requested to do so by the Technical Inspector or Series Director. Delays in getting Technical Inspection completed in a timely manner may result in offending drivers being denied hot laps.

RAIN DELAY

In a rain delay situation the SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES reserves the right to amend the racing format in the interest of time constraints and scheduling conflicts. The format changes will be made with the fans and drivers best interest in mind Changes will only be made if an event is in jeopardy of being lost due to lack of schedule availability, a time curfew or inclement weather. Under these circumstances the amount of laps for qualifying, heats and the feature may be shortened

PROTEST PROCEDURES

Protests must be posted no later than five (5) minutes after the completion of the feature race. Protest must be made in writing with a specific rules violation, signed by the protesting driver and accompanied by cash only . There is an $800.00 protest fee to have internal engine parts checked. Any other protest including visuals will be $300.00

A visual protest can be made anytime before the start of the race.

If only minor infractions are found on a car that has been protested and in the opinion of the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series officials in charge, the added benefit to performance is questionable, the car may be declared legal, with the understanding that the violations will be corrected before again engaging in competition.

No multi-car protests will be accepted. A car may be protested only by the car that finished one position behind. However, if a car is protested and the team does elect to tear down, they may in turn protest the car that has protested them. There shall be a ten minute time limit placed on the back protest.

WEIGH-IN

The first three cars from the feature and any cars that transfer to the feature from preliminary races must weigh in immediately following their race.

Following the feature the top three finishers must cross the scales and weigh in correctly. This includes the winner who must weigh prior to any winner interview or presentations.

Cars will be weighed after qualifying laps are completed whenever possible. Depending on the layout of the host race track this procedure may be altered at the discretion of Series Officials and will be announced at the drivers meeting.

All cars that are judged to be light when crossing the scales after qualifying will lose their qualifying time and will start at the back of a heat race or last chance race. If there is more than one car that has been judged light, those drivers will be lined up at the back of the heat races or last chance race by their qualifying order.

Cars judged to be light will be rolled off the scales one time for zeroing and a reweigh. No other reweighs will occur.

All drivers should make every effort to visit the scale prior to qualifying to ensure weight compliance by the host tracks scale. The host tracks scale is the OFFICIAL scale and will be the only one used to determine weight compliance.

NOTE: Remember that all cars must cross the scales at their claimed weight during qualifying. There is no burn-off allowance for qualifying weights.

NOTE: All Cars must proceed directly from the race track to the scale. Any detour, to anywhere, may result in disqualification or the offending driver being relegated to last place. After qualifying, any detour will result in loss of time. Should any car stop on the way to the scale and be touched by anyone other than a Race Official, the driver may be disqualified.

CARS MUST REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE SCALE AFTER ANY RACE TO BE DECLARED LEGAL AND CERTIFY THEIR POSITION.

EIRI (Except In Rare Instances)
