2008 FASTRAK Late Model Technical Protest
Procedure
- Protest must be made to a
Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official within 10 minutes of the checkered flag
of the feature event.
- 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.
- Protests must be paid in
cash to a Mercer Raceway Park/FASTRAK Official before teching procedure
begins.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
