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.
• Motors must remain sealed/un-opened; any evidence of cans being opened will be viewed as tampering with the motor and is illegal.
• Front axles/tyres must not stick out from the body. Front wheels must run with tyres.
• The maximum overall width of the rear axle/tyre must not exceed 65mm and wheels must not protrude from the wheel arches.
• Failure to enter scrutineering when required will result in disqualification.
• 1 car only to be used through out a meeting, if a part breaks or fails during a heat, the car can be repaired but needs to be scrutinised before commencing the next heat. In the unlikely event of a total write off where the original car is beyond repair a replacement car (conforming to the rules) may be used for the remaining heats & finals but scores will be scrubbed for that meeting. No change of car is allowed during a 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.
