Dirt Track Rules

I was just reading a column from 2008 in which the author was talking about the Lancaster Speedway dirt track in South Carolina which is a straight shot down U.S. 521 from my south Charlotte home and where I took my grandsons a couple of times to see some pretty good dirt track racing.

The article emphasized how this racing was different from going down to Daytona - that it was family centered and inexpensive to fans. To illustrate, he published a few items from the Lancaster rule book.

Fighting is strictly prohibited. Anyone caught fighting will be taken care of by the officials and Law Enforcement as needed.

Any person other than Law Enforcement found with any weapon (CONCEALED OR OTHERWISE) on him/her or in his/her vehicle is subject to fine, loss of weapon and arrest.

Drinking while racing is not allowed. The track reserves the right to require drivers to submit to a breathalyzer test at anytime.

Drivers must remain in their cars during the race, except in the case of fire.

No disorderly conduct will be allowed at the payoff window.

NASCAR need not worry about its Cup drivers being disorderly at the payoff window. Most of the rich boy Cup drivers have never seen one.
