Rule 7
If Racer A
gets disconnected from the track they will remain out of the race, and
considered off the track, until the opportunity arises to re-invite the
disconnected racer...based on the DC Lap Grace rule detail above. If the lap
grace expires before the racer has a chance to return...he/she may still be
able to get back in if the entire track shuts down...and again...based on
the lap grace legend.....We will invite everyone back into the race except
those who have a blown engine, and etc..
If other racers disconnect within the allotted DC percentage
rule AND before allotted lap grace has gone by Racer A will be
re-invited back into the race with no penalty. If other racers
disconnect AFTER the allotted lap grace, Racer A will go down
however many laps after the grace. When Racer A gets reconnected
he will start at the back of the pack.
For example...if Track A has 8 racers and 2 racers
disconnect...then the Track Admin can restart the track.
HOWEVER...If the Lap Grace Expires between the 2 racers that
disconnected...the race WILL MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT A RESTART...
THIS option is left to the Track Admin to decide on a case by
case scenario and MUST BE RESPECTED by all NRL Members.
Several Other Examples:
Ex. 1 Racer A disconnects on lap 30 of a superspeedway track.
(10 lap grace) and all other racers disconnect on lap 39. Racer
A and everyone will be re-invited into the race and Racer A will
start on the lead lap.
Ex 2 If Racer A disconnects on lap 30 of a Short Track (20
lap grace) and all other racers disconnect on lap 46. Racer A
and everyone will be re-invited into the race and Racer A will
start on the lead lap.
Ex 3 If Racer A disconnects on lap 30 of a speedway track
(15 lap grace) and all other racers disconnect on lap 46. Racer
A and everyone will be re-invited into the race and Racer A will
start -1 laps down.
Ex 4 If Racer A disconnects on lap 30 of a road Course (5
lap grace) and ONLY 1 more racer loses connection AFTER the lap
grace...THE RACE WILL NOT BE RESTARTED. A NEW GRACE PERIOD is
based on the last racer who lost connection.
Ex 5 If Racer A disconnects on lap 30 of a road Course (5
lap grace), and Racer B loses connection on lap 38...RACER A IS
NOT ELIGIBLE TO REJOIN TE RACE....The new Lap Grace becomes lap
38 for racer C. If Racer C loses connection at lap 42 (within
the active lap grace) then ALL RACERS Will be allowed back in
the race under the applicable grace...meaning Racer A would be 7
laps down ...Racers B and C will start on the lead lap.
