Racing 101

Learn the basics before you hit the track to look like a pro!

Flag Colors
Green – “GO” Starts the race
Yellow – “Caution” Drivers slow down, a car has stopped, spun, or gone off the track; if a driver caused it, they will have to start at the back of the lineup
Red – “STOP” a bad crash or rollover has likely occurred
White – “Last Lap” of the race
Black – “Disqualified” directed at one (or more) drivers for unsafe driving
Blue with Yellow Stripe – “Lapped” directed at a car who will be passed soon by the leader of the race

“One & Done”
In some races this rule is implemented to keep the race moving and prevent cars from sitting on the track. If a car causes a “Yellow Flag” they will need to exit the track (versus just going to the back of the lineup).

Heats vs. Consi vs Feature Races
Heat races are usually 8 Laps with 6-10 cars. All cars are assigned to a heat race. The results of these races determine where a driver will start in the Feature race where all cars will race at once for more laps (15-25 laps).

If there are 24+ cars in a single class, a Consi race (or also referred to as a B-Main) may be needed to eliminate some cars from the Feature race. In that case, only the top few (determined by the number of cars, announcer will tell you) from the Heat races will make it into the Feature race and the rest will be lined up to race a Consi race which is usually 10 laps and 8-12 cars with the top few making it into the Feature race.
