Sportsmanship and Basic Rules

 
Proper manners and good sportsmanship are expected from all Mini-Z drivers at all times. It is important to understand that general bad behavior like cursing at others, intentional interference, etc, will not be accepted and will result in a driver being penalized, disqualified, or asked to leave. 

All participants will be expected to attend the drivers' meeting. Drivers will be expected to understand and comply with each rule by the time they leave the driver's meeting. Ask any questions at this time. 

If a racer notices an illegal item on another racer's car. Please report to a race official after that racer's race, so the car can be inspected without interference. 

Substitute drivers are not allowed in any qualification or main event race. Immediate disqualification from the event for both drivers will result.
