Passing is by POINT-BY ONLY

Standard Motorsports Flagging will be in use and must be obeyed. For a refresher course on motorsports flagging, please watch this video produced by the SCCA.

Getting a black flag will require coming in and speaking to the race directors. If a team accumulates three black flags, the car and team will be benched from both the track and the autocross.

Please respect your safety crew and exercise extreme caution when moving around them. Respect your fellow drivers. This is supposed to be a FUN, LAID BACK EVENT! It is not a real race, and there will be absolutely no scouts looking to recruit you!

THIS IS NOT A SWAP MEET! The claimer rule is geared towards keeping people honest in bringing cheap, mostly stock cars. We wouldn't want anyone to consider it a way to go home with a better car than what you brought, or a shopping spree. We are honestly hoping that people will filter into the right class for them and there will be very few/no actual claims.

Claims will take place after the event.

We will be supervising the claiming to make sure it's used the way it's intended.

It's at our discretion to determine if a claim is legitimate and will go through. All claims must be approved by KOTH management.

We will not allow someone to blow up their own car and then try to claim another. The Claimer's car must be in similar mechanical condition to the one being claimed.

If you refuse a legitimate claim, you won't be able to compete in claimer classes at future KOTH events.
