UNDER GREEN

2 Spin Rule: Should you self spin or be the cause of 2 accidents in a single race you must park your car/truck. When a driver does bring out the yellow, and the full field is under caution and behind the pace car, it is the driver at faults responsibility to let the entire field and admin know he was the cause of that yellow. This will be considered your first warning. On the second yellow caused by the same driver, he once again will alert the field of his fault and then park his car. Should there be a dispute over the cause,. The admins will review the incident after the race and the driver causing the wreck will be given a written warning for the yellow. 2 such written warnings in a single season for that series will result in a 1 week suspension from racing. Should a driver bring out 2 cautions and not park his car/truck and alert tHE field and admins that it is him, he will be ejected from the server upon the field taking the yellow.

OVER AGGRESSIVE DRIVING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN DRIVING AGGRESSIVE & DRIVING OVER AGGRESSIVE. OVER AGGRESSIVE & RECKLESS DRIVING WILL BRING SEVERE PENALTIES, INCLUDING POINTS, PURSE, DQ, RACE SUSPENSIONS, TERMINATION FROM LEAGUE, OR ANY COMBINATION DETERMINED BY THE RACE ADMIN.

Intentionally Wrecking Another Driver

Anyone intentionally wrecking another driver will be suspended for 30 days and be on probation for aleast a full season after. If and when that driver returns and intentionally wrecks another driver. That driver would be ban for life at ECT. Intentionally wrecking another driver for whatever reason, will not be tolerated by ANYONE !!! We just dont do that here at ECT.Also IF that driver gets in any kind of trouble while on Probation,, Suspension could range from 30 days to a Ban from ECT, That will be disscussed by ALL admins.

BLOCKING IS ALLOWED WITH 10 LAPS TO GO, BUT ONLY IN A SAFE MANNER. OVER AGGRESSIVE DRIVING PENALTIES WILL BE ENFORCED. DRIVERS MUST SIGNAL BY AUTO CHAT INTENTIONS TO PIT ONE HALF LAP BEFORE PITTING. IF A DRIVER SIGNALS TO PIT AND FAILS TO DO SO, THIS WILL BE DEEMED FAKE PITTING UNDER GREEN. IF BY ACCIDENT A DRIVERS SIGNALS TO PIT, THEY MUST THEN SIGNAL "EXITING PITS" IMMEDIATELY.

LAP CARS

IF THERE IS 5 LAPS OR LESS TO GO UNDER GREEN AND THERE IS A SINGLE LAP CAR IN THE LEAD PACK THEY MUST LET THE LEAD CARS GO AND NOT RACE WITH THEM AT ALL.... THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE A LAP CAR AND RACING WITH THE LEAD PACK IS IF YOU ARE RACING ANOTHER LAP CAR(S) FOR POSITION... IF YOU ARE THE ONLY CAR AND YOU ARE A LAP OR MORE DOWN AND DO NOT MOVE OUT OF THE PACK SAFELY YOU WILL LOSE POINTS FOR THAT RACE AND ALSO MAY BE SUSPENED FOR A RACE OR MORE....

VOICE CHAT UNDER CAUTION.

ONCE THE CAUTION COMES OUT VOICE CHAT IS TO HELD TO SILENT UNTIL THE LEADER ANNOUNCES THAT HE IS SLOWING AND THEN THAT HE HAS THE PACE CAR AND WHERE ON THE TRACK HE IS DOING BOTH. HOLD YOUR SPOT AND MAINTAIN SPEED UNTIL THE LEADER STATES HE IS SLOWING.

THERE IS A LUCKY DOG RULE.
