1.1 MRL Points System
Points system is to be used as laid out below
- Heat races are not scored
- Feature finish order as supplied by the track will be used for scoring purposes.
- a Non Conforming cars will be dropped from the finish order and scored at the back of the field and given 10 points each.
- Scoring will be from the rear of the field forward and will be paid in 10 point increments. All DNS, DQ and Non Conforming get 10 points only.
- World Formula Class Scoring details.
Next to last finisher = Add another10 points and so on in ten point increments through the field. Winner to get an additional 10 bonus points.
- DNF (Did Not Finish) Any car for any reason that takes the green flag in the feature but does not finish. They are scored but in order from the official track scoring.
- DNS (Did Not Start), These cars are those who sign in intending to race but for any reason do not start the feature. They are scored but all receive 10 points.
- DQ (Disqualified) Any car for any reason that finishes the race but in post race inspection has a non conforming issue. These cars are scored behind DNF and DNS cars but only receive 10 points.
- Championship Points Championship points will be as follows.
- All Eligible competitors must run 70% of sanctioned points races. It is the competitors responsibility to get the finish order. In the event the track can not supply a full finish order the sanctioned even will become a non points race.
- There will be 1 drop from the points allowed for every 5 completed races. Any disqualification or revoked points day due to an infraction can not be used as a points drop day. Any missed sanctioned events must be used as a drop. Any DQ can not be used as a Drop.
- Rankings will be according to total points in descending order.
- All competitors must register with the MRL and must include the motor seal numbers.
- The Club Fee (if any) will go towards a year end cash payout or trophy to the champion and an equal amount to one eligible competitor chosen at random in the event of a payout. (Less operating expenses)
2.1 Microstock Divisions
- World Formual (MRL) and LO-206 (MSRS) Microstock divisions are set apart by motor only in the effort to keep microstocks as similar as possible.
- Non Conforming Any motor combination different from what is set forth in this book is considered to be “Non Conforming” As such these cars will not be scored and will be required to run an identifying ribbon tied to the highest most point on the car to make them easily identifiable to other competitors and track officials. All Non Conforming cars must start at the rear of the field for heats and features.
- Development Class This class is designed to be an entry level for beginners and younger drivers using stock or limited power motors with few or limited alterations from stock. Specifications of motors is to be added.
- WF **see appendix “WF”** for exact specifications. This class is to run only the World Formula Motor as laid out in the appendix. Similar horsepower motors are allowed but not scored. All non conforming start all heat and feature races with a Ribbon affixed to the roll bar top most location and will not be scored.
3.1 Flagging
- Track officials are to be respected at all times and their on track rulings are to be accepted. Racing procedure is to be in accordance to all track regulations, flags and procedures.
- Flags All competitors must understand and comply with flags and flagging rules.
- Red Flag When displayed all cars must immediately come to a stop and await instructions from track officials.
- Yellow Flag Caution flag is displayed when the track is not open for competition. Cars are to form up in starting or restarting position and proceed at a slow pace. It is recommenced that if an on track incident occurs that takes more time than expected the leader can stop on the start finish line to allow track workers open working room.
- Green Flag Signifies the start of the race, track officials will designate a starting line and when or where passing can begin.
- White Flag The white flag is the “one to go” signal.
- Checkered Flag Checkers signifies the end of the race.
- Blue flag with Yellow Stripe This is the “move over” Flag to let a slower car know the leaders are approaching.
- Black Flag This is given when a car must immediately stop competition. That car must proceed to the designated area immediately. At some tracks this is the infield, at others there is an exit ramp that is safe to use during competition.
- Combinations of Flags The above flags may be combined bythe flagman to give information during the race. For instance, 2 rolled up flags creating an X is generally considered the half way signal. Two rolled up flags held side by side is considered the “two to go” signal. A rolled up white and green may be the green next time by signal.
4.1 Racing Procedure
- Exiting Competition During a race, any car brought back to the pits will not be permitted to re-enter that race unless the track officials allow it.
- Exiting the Vehicle Any driver exiting his vehicle during a race, unless instructed by track officials, shall not be allowed to complete that race. (Practice, Heat or Feature)
- Red Flag Condition Failing to come to an immediate safe stop under the red, for any reason, disqualifies a car from completing that race. (Practice , Heat or Feature)
- Displayed Black Flag If track officials see any problem with any car, that car will be black- flagged, and the flagged car must proceed to a location designated by track officials.
4.2.2a Pre Race Technical Inspection Pre race technical inspection will include seal number verification, coil type verification (if blower cover seal is missing) and safety pre race brake check. Additional items may be chosen by track officials and or technical inspector if provided.

- Multiple Heat Races When the field of competitors exceeds 12 cars the heat races are to be split in two, odd starting positions to heat one and even starting positions to heat two.
- Feature Lineup Feature lineup will be determined by the track. In some cases there will be an invert, other times there will not be. All Competitors must be notified prior to the heat race if there will be an invert or not. However competitors are not to know how many cars are to be inverted.
The winner of the last sanctioned race must start their next feature race from no better than the tenth (10th) position (Except in the event there are less than 10 cars). In the event of multiple winners the most recent is to start behind the next most recent. The Previous winner must still qualify via the heat race and their position in the heat race transfers to the feature but is limited to no better than10th.
It will be the responsibility of the competitor to put themselves in to the correct starting position or they will forfeit their points for that race day.
