There are NO wave around's on any Caution.

line that brings out the caution with 4 or less laps to go the field will be
scored on how all the drivers merge back into the field or complete the next

what car#'s are the Lucky Dogs on TS and with text chat.
2. Lucky Dogs pits on the 2nd caution lap with the lap down cars, do NOT pit with 1 to go.
3. Lucky Dogs leaves the pits, pass the field on the HIGH side and lines up
next to the race leader.
4. When we get the 1 to go the Lucky Dogs will pass the pace car, go around the
track and line up behind the field.
5. When it goes GREEN an Admin will clear your Black Flag.
Incidents:
Qualifying races will be 2 incident and
Park-it.
The 100%
NRT race will be 3 incident and Park-it.
If you do NOT park you will be DQ'ed from the results.
Incident
definition: Any
action by you or your internet connection that results in the Yellow flag coming
out whether it be a self spin, mechanical failure or contact with another car.
An incident caused by your warp or your connection issues will count toward your
2 and park-it.
An incident which is a result of a mechanical failure such as a blown gear or
blown motor will NOT count toward your 2 incidents and park-it but you must
still pit on the 2nd caution lap.
A caution caused by a blown tire will count as an Incident toward your 2 and
park-it.
Hitting a driver and causing them to spinout or get a black flag while doing a
GREEN FLAG pit stop will also be considered an incident. This also goes for
causing another driver to get an unsafe pit exit or black flag while leaving the
pits or forced onto the track to early.
