GENERAL RULES (CONT.)

         

that day. We have a user friendly automated phone system that will contain information concerning event status. If rain or inclimate weather begins after the gates open, we will not cancel an event until there is no time in the day left to dry the track, provide for one time trial run and complete elimination's at a reasonable hour. Should rain halt an event after elimination's begin, each driver in attendance that day will be given the points. However points will only be awarded if the entire round of elimination's has been completed. If the round is incomplete, no cars/ drivers will receive points for that round. For example, if there are 14 pairs in round three, and only 13 pairs run, and the last pair is barred from running because of rainout, no cars will receive points for that round. Only if all pairs/cars are run for that round will points be awarded.

Thunder Valley reserves the right in the event of rainout to either call the race and re-run the entire race at a future date. The other alternative that Thunder Valley may exercise is to call the race complete, and split the purse among the remaining competitors in the class. If this second alternative is chosen, then the racers eligible to share in the purse will be determined by looking at the last fully completed round. Thunder Valley will do everything possible to complete the round. If however round six has been completed, and three pairs have been run in round seven all cars that have advanced to round seven will be eligible to participate in the purse.

Rainout will also be called if other circumstances exist that bar the running of the race ; i.e. computer failure. generator failure... There will be no cash refunds. Rain checks only will be given out.

REFUNDS AND BREAK RULES: There are no cash refunds for breakage, however we will provide the driver with a raincheck to be used at any time, at any race at Thunder Valley Raceway Park.

  Test and Tune. No refunds or rainchecks will be given after the driver/car completes his or her first time trial.

  Bracket Races. Once a driver has taken the green light in any time trial session, he or she is no longer eligible for a full break raincheck. Raincheck, "I be given to drivers of cars based on the following raincheck formulas:

One (1) time trial - (admission price spectator ticket) x 50%

Two(2) time trials - admission price spectator price x 25%

Full refunds will be given to Quick 16 non-qualifiers. Refunds for non-qualifiers in Quick 16 will be available on the same day as long as the pit gate is still open for business. The driver may choose to use the refunded tech card for entry into the next event. If a qualified driver's car breaks after being laddered and prior to elimination's, and that driver cannot continue elimination's he will not receive a refund or raincheck. He can however find another racer to take his place on the ladder. The pit gate will be willing to look for a replacement.
