LINE-UP PROCEDURES
1. First night, all drivers draw for heats. Main event will be lined up heads up based on heat race results.
2. From second night on, heats are lined up by season point average, stagger inverted, lowest point average to front, highest point average to rear. New drivers carrying no point average start at the rear. Two or more drivers having no average or same point average will be lined up at discretion of officials. Average is figured by driver's point total divided by the total number of times he/she has competed at the track.
3. "B" mains are lined up straight up from heats with highest finishers to front.
4. When one heat is run, top five qualifiers will be inverted for feature lineup according to season  point average. When two or five heats are run, the top 10 qualifiers (5 from each heat) will be inverted for feature lineup according to season point average. When three, four or six heats are run, top 12 qualifiers will be inverted for feature according to season point average. Track officials reserve the right to relocate a driver from an invert position to the rear of the field if deemed necessary for the safety and well-being of all involved. Remainder of "A" feature is lined up straight up from heats and/or "B" features.
5. A driver that qualifies but has no point average shall be lined up in last invert position. Should there be more than one driver with no point average, positions will be lined up at discretion of officials.
 6. If a driver is absent for two consecutive events (excluding rain-outs), upon his/her return shall be treated as a new car (rule #5) for the first week he/she returns.
 7. There are no double points nights allowed. A program is not considered a rainout unless all qualifying races have been completed and feature lineup is complete. If feature is rained out and will not be run at later date, all drivers are to be awarded last place points.
8. Track option to line up mid-season and season championships straight up by total points.
9. No driver changes will be made at any time without previous notification of the designated official(s), (typically the person doing the lineups). All changes must be made in the pits only, at discretion of officials.
 10. The driver is qualified and receives points, not the race car. Any driver wishing to change cars must be qualified to compete in the race for which he/she is changing cars, and must start at the rear of that race. Once a driver has changed race cars, he/she must finish the program in that race car. Drivers changing cars cannot claim. Once race cars are staged, no driver changes allowed. Any driver allowing another driver to use his/her race car, or any driver changing cars when not qualified to do so, forfeits any points earned in that event. 
First, Second and Third place finishers of the Main events will have their cars inspected within fifteen minutes after the completion of the Main Events by the Tech Committee. A car found to be illegal will be disqualified and will forfeit all accumulated points for that event. All other cars will move up in position. The illegal car will be barred from participation until corrections are made and approved.  Drivers are allowed one person in the pit to help cool down car.  No one will be allowed to work on car until inspection is done.

Only drivers competing in the same class as the driver whom the protest is against can file a protest. The protest must be in writing and turned into the Tech Committee, Board of Directors, or Pit Steward within fifteen (15) minutes after the completion of the race. The driver making the protest must put up a $350.00 protest fee. Protest tear-down will consist of 1 Valve Cover, Intake, 1 Head, and 1 Exhaust, pulling of starter, pulling of oil pan and checking of the carburetor. The only persons allowed at a tear down will be the car owner, mechanic, Tech Committee and the protester. Failure  to comply with the tear  down, or if the car is found illegal, will result in disqualification and forfeiture of points and prize  money for that event and forfeiture of points for the season up to that race date. Tear down will take place at the track or at a neutral local shop based on the approval of driver who is getting protested. $50.00 of the protest money will be awarded to the track. At least 2 people from the tech committee must be present when the tear down takes place.

Any driver/member wishing to protest anything else (besides another car)                  
The protest must be turned into the Tech Committee, Board of Director, or Pit Steward within fifteen (15) minutes after the completion of the race. The driver making the protest must also put up fifty dollars ($50.00). If the driver/member wins their protest they will get their $50.00 back. If the driver/member loses their protest the $50.00 will go to the track.

Track officials are the only ones that can be on the track surface during the races. Any Driver(s)/Member(s) that are on the track during races (including yellow or red flags) will be fined $50.00.  Track officials are the only ones who can touch a racecar while on the track surface. If a driver allows anyone else to touch or work on their car on the track, the driver will be disqualified and will lose points and money for that event.

Drivers will be paid prize money for the Main Event Points only. Driver’s checks will be paid at the following race event or checks can be mailed out on Tuesday following the race event at the drivers’ request.  All checks not picked up at the next event will be mailed out the following Tuesday.

Each class must have four (4) cars to initially make the class. After this criteria has been met, each class must have three (3) or more cars to run for points, and four (4) or more cars to run for points AND prize money. Drivers cannot pay for a car that is not racing to make car count.

Each driver must compete in five (5) regular race events to qualify for end of season trophies and jackets.

 Only emergency vehicles, racecars, vehicles pulling racecars, and trailers are allowed in Pit parking. Enclosed trailers will not be allowed to park in the infield. The vehicle that transported a go-cart to the track will have to park in the general parking area and come back to retrieve the go-cart when their race is over.

Uranium Capital Speedway Point Structure:
Heat win is 8 points, with each subsequent position worth one less point.
 1. Weekly 'A' Feature win is 40 points, with each subsequent position worth one point less, with 24th position in feature worth 17 points. If more than 24 cars start feature, all positions from 24th back receive 17 points. If track runs a 'B' feature(s), first non-transferring driver receives 16 points and each subsequent position, back to sixth non-qualifying position, receives one less point per position. Sixth (non-qualifying) position and back in 'B' feature(s) receive 11 points. This applies to all 'B's, even if more than one is run. Drivers that don't qualify for 'A' or 'B' feature will receive no points, but that event will not be figured into driver's point average.
2. Should a driver qualify for 'B' feature or 'A' feature, and not be able to compete, they will be scored in last position and receive points accordingly. (Promoter's discretion whether vacated position is filled in feature by next qualified driver.) 3. If less than ten entries for any given night, for each car less than ten, one point fewer than normal is awarded for feature finish. For example, if nine cars entered, feature win would then be worth 39 points; for eight entries, win would be worth 38 points, etc..
