National Work Rule

This work rule is mandatory at all Grand National Events.

  1.  A designated area will be marked off.  This designated area will depend on the host club (HQMA) because tracks vary in respect to track layouts.  This must be approved by the QMA Safety Director.
  2. Any car going to the designated area will automatically be put to the back of the pack.
  3. If you go to the work area under green flag, YOU ARE FINISHED!  You may not re-enter the race.
  4. Under a yellow or red flag condition, a car (or cars) may go into the designated area for repairs using any piece of equipment for repairs, but may not add fuel (except by track officials to "AA" and half cars during refueling stops).
  5. If more than one car is in the work area, positions will be determined by the order of cars returning to the track.
  6. When the starter waves the green flag to start/restart the race, no car is allowed to enter the track unless already under power and past the designated point.  If there is a yellow before a lap is scored the car may enter the track to rejoin the race.
  7. The starter shall not hold up the race for the car(s) in the work area.
  8. Should the car(s) be held back by the pit steward and for some reason no green flag has been shown, the pit steward, at their discretion, may allow the car(s) to return to the track.
  9. A maximum of 2 handlers per car will be allowed in the hot chute.  If a handler requires more than 2 for major repairs, then any 2 other handlers already in the hot chute may assist.  No additional handlers will allowed to enter the hot chute for major repairs.  If the handler chooses, he may take his car out of the hot chute to a designated work area in close proximity to have additional members to assist with repairs.
