Big 8 Late 158 National Short Track Championship Owner’s Manual

Big 8 Late 158 National Short Track Championship

Welcome!
Ten divisions will compete for the final NSTC victory Eagles in 2023. The Big 8 Late Model 158 takes top billing on Sunday and is bringing back the 8th place feature bonus money again this year. These grassroots racers will battle to win $4008.00 or to finish in 8th place and take home $3008.00! The Mid-Am Racing Series is back and the Rockford style RoadRunners will hit the high banks in the Roadrunner Rumble for this final NSTC. The Super Late Models will highlight Saturday night in the Jody Deery Super Late Model Showdown. This year the Super Late drivers will compete in a 147-lap race with a break at lap 97 as a salute to Mrs. Deery. We moved the Hugh Deery Sportsmen Classic 50 from it’s August date to the Saturday NSTC schedule – the racing is too good not to be featured on this prestigious weekend! The Midwest Dash Series will round out the action-packed Saturday schedule. Friday night showcases the Rockford Speedway Short Tracker, RoadRunner and Bandit divisions. The Original Sixers and Super Stox will run their final points race to crown the 2023 Season Champion in each of those divisions. We expect the 58th NATIONAL SHORT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP to be a memorable weekend full of action, intense competition, and great memories. Our dedicated team has worked diligently to present to you a weekend you will always remember! Thank you for supporting this 58th NATIONAL SHORT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP …. and the 57 NSTCs before!

PURSE PAYOUT: Winnings for Big 8 Late Model Series and Super Late Model events are mailed by Rockford Speedway within 72 hours after the completion of Sunday’s events. Purse payout will be in the Rock’N Vodka Pavilion after all events are completed. Short Trackers, Bandits, RoadRunners, Sixers, and Super Stox are paid on Friday night; Sportsmen and the Midwest Dash Series on Saturday night. Purse winnings are also available in the Pit Shack the following morning. The RoadRunner Rumble will be paid on Sunday. Any purse payout not picked up will be mailed at a later date. Mid-Am Racing Series will be paid by the sanctioning body, guaranteed by Rockford Speedway. The E. I. R. I. (except in rare instances) rule will be in effect. Events will be paid only if they are completed as determined by the Series and Rockford Speedway management.

REGISTRATION: Car numbers will be assigned by the date on which they are received by Rockford Speedway with payment. Duplicate car numbers may require differentiation by adding an additional number or letter. Drivers may only be registered for one division per day, per car.

TRANSPONDERS: Transponders are MANDATORY and must be on every car before they enter the race track. Transponders are available for rent at the Pit Tower – 1 day: $15, 2 days: $25, 3 or 4 days: $35.

RADIOS & SPOTTERS: Track Frequency is 454.0000 ALL DIVISIONS are required to monitor this frequency. 2-Way Radios are allowed for Big 8 Late Models, Super Late Models, and Mid Am, however, crew and/or driver MUST also monitor Race Control at all times while their car is on the track. Divisions allowed to have radios are required to have a Spotter. Spotters must assemble for each race at the designated location announced at the Driver’s Meetings. All spotters must be identifiable by car number. TIRES / FUEL: Hoosier Racing Tires (all divisions except SLM) will be available in the Tire Room. Super Late Model tires will be at the tire truck near the cross-over gate. Racing fuel is not available at the track. QUALIFYING ORDER, LINEUPS, RESTARTS: Cars will be lined up by qualifying, points, a draw system or practice times. When possible, all races will be pre-staged in pits between the track entrance and exit. Line up when your division is called and be ready to go. The chosen cone will be used for all relines. The leader will restart alone out front with each car choosing to line up in the low line or high line. All lead lap cars which remain on the race track will be allowed to choose. Cars involved in the caution, cars rejoining from the pits, and lapped cars – in that order, will fall in at the end of the longest line. Rockford uses a “fault”, “cause of” or “involved in” on yellow flags, and will send the car(s) to the rear. Any car causing two yellow flags in a race may be sent to the pits. The Tap-Out rule will be utilized. A time limit may be established for each event, generally one minute per lap.

DRIVER SWAP: In order to conduct a driver swap, the original car must be withdrawn from all future events. The car to which the original driver is going must be a qualified car. The new car will forfeit starting positions and new car/driver combo must start at the rear of qualifying races. If the new car is qualified for the feature event, the new car/driver combo must run last chance race. The last chance race will transfer one additional car into the feature event. The driver’s tires must follow the driver.

WEATHER & OTHER UNFORESEEN ISSUES: We may need to alter, cancel or run an alternative date if the weather or forecast is not conducive to run a safe race program. All events are subject to alterations, deletions, corrections, additions, or simple changes due to factors over which we have no control. We reserve the right to start events earlier or later than scheduled.
