2008 General Sportsmanship Rules

The rules set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of racing events.  These rules shall govern the conditions of all events, and by participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have complied with these rules.  These rules are intended as a guide for the conduct of the event and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to a participant, spectator or official.  The referee shall be empowered to permit reasonable deviation from any specification that in his opinion does not alter the acceptable requirements.  Any deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the officials.  Their decision is final.  The current Delta Speedway rulebook is the final authority.

Delta Speedway Race Rules shall apply to all Delta Speedway sanctioned events.  Track officials shall have responsibility for rules and regulation enforcement at sanctioned events.  At the discretion of track officials, any competitor may be disqualified for rule violations or hazardous equipment or hazardous actions.  All Delta speedway vehicles are subject to be inspected at any time.  Approval of a Delta Speedway vehicle by the inspector shall mean only that the vehicle is approved for participation in a competitive event and shall not be construed in any way to mean the inspected Delta Speedway vehicle is guaranteed mechanically sound.  Be it further declared that the inspector shall not be liable, not shall the Sanctioning Body, for any mechanical failure, not for any losses or injuries resulting from same.

Any un-sportsman-like conduct by drivers, owners and/or pit crews shall be grounds for disqualification and/or punitive action by the Sanctioning Body.  Drivers are responsible for the conduct and actions of their pit crews.  Drivers are subject to disciplinary action for the conduct of their crew.

Any driver or crew who verbally abuses any Delta Racing official will be asked to leave the facility, any driver who is asked to leave, and does not do so immediately can and will be barred from returning to Delta Speedway in any capacity.

Any driver or crewman who physically strikes an official is automatically subject to suspension, fine and/or expulsion.

Fighting:  Delta Speedway will not tolerate any driver or crew who either verbally or physically attacks another driver or crew.  Any driver, or crew, that enters another competitor’s pits, and a fight ensues, will automatically be suspended for minimum of two weeks.

If a driver is suspended once during a racing season, and is suspended a second time for the same violation, the driver will be expelled for the remainder of the racing season.
