If a car does not pass inspection or weight requirement at qualifying tech in the designated qualifying order, the driver will get only one lap to qualify. Driver and crewmembers will be given ample time to adjust and/or verify car’s weight prior to qualifying tech. It will be the responsibility of the driver to be sure their car is ready to pass qualifying tech at the designated time and in correct position. A driver may qualify only one car and a car may only qualify one time. Any driver change following qualifying will result in the loss of that position, and movement to the rear of the field. If more than one car is involved, position will be determined by relative qualifying position.

Drivers or crewmembers will position cars in assigned positions by the designated times. It is the responsibility of the driver to check his or her starting position and be ready when called for pre-event inspection, weighing and/or line-up. Cars not ready may be placed at the rear of the starting lineup or disqualified from the event. When race line-up has been determined via qualifying, inversion, draw, etc; and a car drops out or loses its position for whatever reason before the cars are moved onto the track, the line-up may be redone in the pit staging area by the officials. When the cars have already moved onto the racing surface and a car drops out, that row of cars will move straight ahead. No position change or passing will be allowed on the final parade lap. No car may enter a race once the initial green flag has been displayed, if they did not take that green flag. Failure to comply with these rules may result in loss of starting position.
