Proposed Summit Raceway Rules Changes
By-Laws
Recommend the following changes to the by-laws:
1) After becoming a member, there will be a 30 day probation period before the new member is allowed to vote. Exception to this will be if the membership is paid at the time of general membership renewal.
2) D.O.C. is to be voted on and approved by the general membership. An alternate will also need to be approved.
D.O.C. nominees will be added to the ballot along with Board of Directors.
3) Remove all:
Protest Procedure (Mechanical)
Protest Procedure (Procedural)
These are rules governing track running procedure and are covered in the Track General Rules. The By-Laws should cover only Governance Procedure Only!
4) Rookie of the year honors will be awarded to the Rookie that finishes highest in the championship points standings (provided they drive the minimum of 50% of the main events).

** The track rules as posted on the web site need to be cleaned up and put into proper order to match the rule book.
