Mannington District Fair Enduro Rules

Three damaged cars racing on a dirt track in a demolition derby.

General Rules

  1.  The race will begin with a rolling start on the track.
  2. Cars must hold their position until the green flag is dropped.
  3. The leader after 1 hour is the winner. If only one car is left moving, the race will end at that  time. If we get enough cars to have heat races. The heats will be 15 min long and the top 3  drivers out of the heats will qualify for the feature race. If we have heats there will also be a   last chance qualifier heat for the cars that didn’t win their respective heat race.  (This will be  decided by officials the day of the race, dependent on car count.)
  4. There will be no caution flags. The red flag will be displayed if the track is blocked and racing  cannot continue or if a racer is in danger (fire, roll-over, or just flat out needs out of his/her  car etc.) Cars must come to a stop immediately if a red flag is issued. Cars caught moving  under a red flag will receive a 1 min stopped penalty. This is all about safety, don't try to gain  positions under a red flag.
  5. If your car is slowing down due to failure, do not stay on the track. Exit the track at any of the  appropriate track openings or into the infield (this will be discussed in the drivers meeting  prior to the race). Stopping on the track while in your vehicle is extremely dangerous to you  and other drivers.
  6. Drivers MUST supply one (1) person for scoring. The track will score your car for you as well  on a random basis. Please bring your scorer with you to register and to the drivers meeting.
  7. Drivers are not required to have any racing experience but must be at least 14 years of age  with parental waiver if under the age of 18.
