2008 PURE STOCK RULES (BACK TO CONTENTS)

Note: The track reserves the right to change, amend or delete any rules that make further clarifications and/or corrections.

MOVE UP RULE - If the track promoter feels that a driver does not belong in Pure Stocks based on level of experience or car, the promoter reserves the right to ask for a move up vote by the driver's competitors. This can be done starting with the 4th week of the racing season. The track promoter is the only person with the authority to call for such a vote. The vote will be by secret ballot and only other pure stock drivers competing during the days events will be eligible to vote. Any driver may choose not to participate in the voting. If less than 1/2 of the eligible drivers wish to vote, the track promoter may assume that the move-up vote is not warranted and the vote may be called off. If over 1/2 drivers elect to participate in the vote, balloting will take place during intermission and the decision will be announced immediately. A majority of all votes cast is required to force a driver to move up and it will take effect the following week.
