flag will be thrown. If not, a yellow will be thrown the cars lined

7. The pole car should
set the pace at a reasonable speed to keep the field nose to tail
formation. DO NOT KEEP THE PACE SO SLOW THAT THE CARS BEHIND ARE
‘BOGGED’ DOWN. Flagman may signal cars to pick up speed. If this
signal is ignored, flagman may put that car on the rear. This
includes single file restarts. It is up to the front row to set the
pace so that the race is started evenly. If this cannot be done in
two attempts, one or both cars will go to the rear. If you are out
of line, the yellow flag will wave and you go to the rear.
8. Line-ups after a red
or yellow flag will be according to the last completed scored lap
with the cars involved in the red or yellow flag lined-up on the
