Effective August 5, 2010, the following rule is added to the MCR Rule Book pertaining to the protest and covers all classes with the exception of FASTRAK touring events, which are covered under the FASTRAK rule book.

A driver may protest up to (1) One car in its class per night for a specific infraction he/she believes the other car may have. The protest can occur at any time during the evening, however the opportunity to protest closes 15 minutes after the class’ feature is completed.

A protest costs $200.00 and must be paid in cash at the time the protest is entered. In the event the car being protested is illegal, the $200 is returned to the person protesting the car. In the event the car is deemed legal, the $200 is split between MCR and the driver being protested.

Only the driver or registered owner may protest a car and the protest must be for a specific infraction. (for example: motor, body, tires, spoiler, etc). The protest must be made to MCR Management (Tom. Rich, Ken or Rod) or to the chief Pit Steward (Jeff Gardner). Once notified, the car protested must be immediately presented to the designated tech area and in the event more than 15 minutes passes between the time the driver being protested is notified and the car is presented at the designated tech area, the car is deemed illegal. It is not necessary for the driver/owner of the car protesting to present his/her car at the tech area, unless the car being protested follows the same procedures to protest the protesting car. (A car can be protested for multiple rules infractions, however each protested item is considered a protest and carries a separate protest charge)

The car will be teched by MCR with only the driver and owner of each party present along with MCR officials. Any other presence or disturbance caused may result in disqualification or removal from the speedway.

The car may be teched for reasons beyond the infraction protested, however that is at the sole discretion of MCR Management. If the car is deemed legal based upon the infraction protested, & MCR Management has not made the decision to tech another area of the car, no other part of the car may be protested.

MCR Management has the right to impound a car being protested if it deems it necessary to properly check the infraction. If the owner/driver of the car protested does not want the car impounded, then it is deemed illegal.

Decisions of MCR Management are final. Once the car leaves the speedway premises, no further action/discussion will be permitted.
