SCRUTINEERING
• Random scrutineering will take place at any time during a meeting. This
will be carried out at the beginning of any heat or heats. All the cars
in the chosen heat will be checked, if a car is found to be illegal at
any point during the meeting that competitor’s points will be scrubbed
for that meeting.
• Top Six cars may have their cars opened up and put on the track for
every one to scrutinise at the end of the meeting/final.
• Having a magnet effect track there will be checks for magnetraction
in the cars at scrutineering or if any car is suspected of having a magnet
fitted.
• Weight may be added inside the car only and must be securely fixed with
glue or BlueTac (Lead / lead/alloy substitutes only)
• Cars will be checked to ensure all parts used are eligible and all rules
are adhered to.

during a heat, the car can be repaired but needs to be scrutinised before
commencing the next heat.
• Chief Scrutineer’s decision is final.
RACE FORMAT
• Each driver will race once on each lane. Drivers will race in seeded
order (seeding will be worked out from the championship table prior to
the event). New drivers will be seeded at the bottom of the point’s table.

race the laps & footages are recorded. All race scores are then totalled
to give position of the step finals.
