YOU ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW THE RULES. IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE!

The rules and/or regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of racing events and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for such events.  These rules shall govern the condition of all events, and by participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have complied with these rules.  NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM PUBLICATIONS OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH, THESE RULES AND/OR REGULATIONS.  They are intended as a guide for conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to a participant, spectator, or official. 

The Race Director and Track Officials shall be empowered to permit reasonable and appropriate deviation from any of the specifications herein or impose any further restrictions that in their opinion do not alter the minimum acceptable requirements.  NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF SPECIFICIATIONS.  Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the officials.  Their decision is final.

The rules set forth shall be effective for Hawkeye Downs Speedway’s 2008 racing season.  Management reserves the right to amend, alter, suspend, delete, or supplement these rules as conditions warrant and without any prior notice.  Any changes will be posted in the inspection area.  It is your responsibility to be aware of changes posted.  These rules shall govern the condition of all Hawkeye Downs Speedway events.  Auto racing is a competitive sport, and like any other sporting event that depends on fan support, there is a great deal of showmanship and public relations required.  Starting on time, running events in a professional manner, proper uniforms or attire, race cars brightly painted and the conduct of the competitors both on and off the track must be established.

Hawkeye Downs Speedway is private property.  Any person on this property without the permission of the owners or management is guilty of trespassing and subject to the penalties prescribed by law.  Through your registration you have been given the authority and the right to be on this property in conjunction with your racing activity only.  However, the management of the race track reserves the right to revoke and cancel this authority at any time it is felt that your presence or conduct is not in the best interest of auto racing, your fellow competitors, the fans, management, or employees of Hawkeye Downs Speedway.
