Membership Fees

The cost of an OSCAAR membership is $250.00 and must be paid in full prior to competition. The cost of membership if paid at or after the first race will be $300.00

General Rules

OSCAAR has implemented the following general rules that apply to all of its members, drivers, car owners, crews and officials.

  1. All drivers must be registered 30 minutes prior to the scheduled drivers’ meeting. Failure to do so will result in starting scratch for both heat races.
  2. Drivers’ meeting is mandatory. All drivers must attend the drivers’ meeting with one member of their race team. Failure to attend the drivers’ meeting will result in starting all heat races from scratch position.
  3. All cars must go through tech. Tech will close 30 minutes prior to the drivers’ meeting. Any cars that have not been cleared by that time will result in starting all heat races from scratch position.
  4. All cars must come to tech and cross the scales at their proper weight requirement. If not, the car will not be cleared and the driver must re-present his car for tech. The driver must be sitting in his seat in an upright position with hands on the steering wheel to obtain the proper left side percentage weight.
  5. To qualify for an OSCAAR feature event, the driver must compete in at least one heat race.
  6. Rainouts: Every attempt between OSCAAR Officials and visiting Track Management will be made to re-schedule events that are rained out.
  7. A driver may switch to another car, however, it must be before the cars go onto the track at the start of the feature (e.g. you may not switch if there is a crash on the opening lap). The borrowing driver must start scratch unless he has previously qualified the borrowed car. Points will be awarded to the driver.
  8. The use of Raceceivers is mandatory effective the start of 2008. All teams must purchase a Raceceiver directly from the series or they may choose to rent a unit. Any team refusing to use a Raceceiver will not be permitted to compete.

Rules Topics

Qualifying Procedures

  1. Each driver must register with the OSCAAR officials 30 minutes prior to the drivers’ meeting as registration will close 30 minutes prior to the drivers meeting. If a driver fails to register they will be starting scratch for the two heat races.
  2. At the time of registering each driver will draw a number, which will determine the first set of heat race line ups. For example the driver that draws number one will start pole for the first heat, number two will start pole for the second heat, number three will either start second in the first heat or pole for the third heat if required.
  3. Fields of over 20 cars will automatically have three sets of qualifying heats.
  4. The starting order for the second set of heats will be the reverse of the starting order of the first set of heats.
  5. Each driver will earn qualifying points in the heat races based on the OSCAAR point system.
  6. The top point earners from the heats will then be eligible to enter the redraw for their feature starting position. The number of drivers eligible for the redraw will be half of the field for that night with a maximum of twelve cars.
  7. The redraw procedure for the top drivers will be as follows. Driver with the most points at the end of the heats will draw a number and that number will be the number of cars that will invert for the feature race; the numbers in the draw will be 5th to 12th , or half the field for the night to a maximum of 12. In the event that two drivers are tied in qualifying points, OSCAAR will revert back to the driver sign-in sheet and the number drawn at that time, with the lowest number getting to draw first. This will also apply in the case where two or more cars are tied for the final qualifying position, the driver with the lowest draw will get to enter the redraw. (If weather and time permit the redraw format maybe changed to drawing Frisbees etc, to involve the fans).
  8. The balance of the field will be lined up based on qualifying points earned starting with the next place driver to twenty fourth place. In the event that there are more than twenty four cars in attendance then only the top twenty one places will be locked in based on points with the final three spots going to the three highest competitors in the current OSCAAR points standing that have currently not qualified for the feature event. When racing at Kawartha and Mosport Speedways the maximum car count would be 28, with 24 cars qualifying from the heats and positions 25-28 filled using the same procedure as above (TOP 3 POINTS PROVISIONALS). Feature finishing positions 25-28 would all receive 60 points. Non-feature qualifiers will receive 25 “Show Up” points. OSCAAR reserves the right to increase the starting field for special race events defined prior to the race season.
  9. All heat races will be ten laps in length and each feature event will be fifty laps. The Don Biederman Memorial Race will have additional feature laps.

Race and Restart Procedures

  1. All original starts will be double-file. Drivers are to accelerate out of corner 4 as the green flag is waved. There will be NO passing of any cars before the driver crosses the start/finish line. Any car jumping the start will be penalized 2 positions for every car passed. Penalty will be assessed at the next caution or at the end of the event if there are no cautions.
  2. Complete Restart: First lap accidents in all races will be a complete restart. All cars will be restarted in their original position except those involved in the accident, which will restart at the rear of the field. This applies in all complete restarts.
  3. If more than one lap of racing has been completed the field will be lined up 1, 2, 3 then double file. All involved cars will have to restart at the rear of the field.
  4. The restart will be nose to tail and will take place in the restart box marked out on the turn 3 and 4 wall with brightly-coloured tape.
  5. No driver shall accelerate or pass until his car has entered that box.
  6. If a driver is not restarting in the proper fashion they will be penalized two positions at the next caution period or at the end of the race if no further cautions occur.
  7. When the caution flag is waved the restart will be based on the last completed lap of racing.
  8. If the caution flag is shown after the leader has taken the white flag the race will attempt one time to restart the race with a green, white, checkered finish, if a second caution flag is shown the race will finish and will be scored based on the last completed green flag lap except for those cars deemed involved which will be scored at the rear of the field.

  10. All cars one or more laps down will continue at the restart at the rear of the field.
  11. The Race Director may at any time deem it necessary to have single file restarts.
  12. For any event longer than 50 laps, it is the responsibility of each team to ensure that their fuel cell is large enough. Under no circumstances will OSCAAR stop a feature event to allow refueling.
  13. Red Flags: When the track is under a red flag condition, all competitors are required to stop as quickly and as safely as possible. If any competitor’s car moves in the pits or on the racing surface while the red flag is displayed, automatic disqualification will result. Teams that are working on repairs prior to the red flag must stop repairs until the red flag is removed. Failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification.
  14. Black/Meatball Flags: Drivers given the Black or Meatball flag(s) for mechanical concerns will be given two (2) laps to report to the pits to seek consultation regarding the flag. The tech director MUST ensure that the car is safe before re-entering the racetrack at the next caution period. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification and loss of any money and points for the event.
  15. If the black flag is given for rough driving, the driver will be disqualified from the event and will lose any money and points for the event. Once a driver has been given the black flag the car is no longer being scored.
  16. Ignoring the black flag will also result in disqualification and loss of points and money.

The feature finish will be deemed “Official and Final” twenty minutes after the finish has been posted on the OSCAAR Scoreboard. Once the feature finish has been posted, any OSCAAR competitor that has a discrepancy/grievance with the finishing order, or any other scoring matter which occurred during the feature event, will have twenty minutes, to place their protest “in writing” and submit it to the OSCAAR Race Director or Vice-President. All protests must be submitted and signed by a registered OSCAAR driver. A protest submitted by a team member will not be accepted. Any arguments/concerns or protests not submitted within the “twenty minute window” will have no merit, and will not be heard.

The submitted protest will be reviewed and a resolution will be sought out as soon as possible. If the submitted grievance is found to be of a nature that cannot be resolved within a reasonable time period, then all competing drivers will receive their points and money at the following OSCAAR event, in order to allow adequate time for the Board of Directors to make a fair and reasonable decision.

Official Protest Forms will be at each and every OSCAAR event, available at the registration table from any OSCAAR Official.
