2008 FASTRAK Late Model Technical Protest Procedure

 

  1. Protest must be made to a Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official within 10 minutes of the checkered flag of the feature event.

 

  1. Only driver or car owner that finishes in the top 5 in the feature may protest another car that finishes in the top 5 of the feature.

 

  1. Protests must be paid in cash to a Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official before teching procedure begins.

 

  1. Protestor must be present during the entire teching procedure.  In the event the teching procedure takes place at later date and different place, protestor must also be present to witness inspection.  Alternate inspection location will most likely be at Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Northeast office/garage located at 4368 Route 422, Pulaski, PA 16143, if necessary.  Although other inspection locations could be selected.  There will be no dispute over Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official’s choice of location.

 

Protestor and protested car owner and/or driver along with their protested sealed parts/engine must be present at designated time and place determined by Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official.

 

Protested engine will be tagged by Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official to insure that it has not been tampered with and it is the same engine.   

 

  1. Protested car will be given time limit from Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official to remove protested part.  If part is not removed within time limit, car will automatically be disqualified. 

 

  1. If protested car is to race additional nights in a given weekend, engine will be tagged by Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official and rule #4 and #5 will apply.

 

  1. If Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Tech Inspector is unsure of the legality of a part, said part will be sent to GM or to FASTRAK Office for inspection.  At this time, the feature finish will be frozen until legality of said part is determined.  If at that time any competitor chooses to accept their pay before teching is completed, they CANNOT receive any additional monies, but finishing position and points would be adjusted accordingly.

 

 

The above teching procedure has been designed and will be implemented by FASTRAK Northeast Touring Officials.  For additional FASTRAK protest information that applies nationally, please see FASTRAK rules.
