Break Rule Procedures
Race begins with the quickest 8 cars able to make the call for first round. Break rule reinsertion goes to the low ET loser of the previous round providing a non-disqualifying (safety violation) pass, closest to the index, but not under. A red-light is not a disqualifying run.

If more than one slot exists, it goes to the second low ET loser, etc. Lane choice goes to the winning vehicle only. In the event that two losing vehicles are re-inserted into the next ladder positions, lane choice goes to the quicker of the two. All points and money are awarded to original qualified or winning driver. Alternate drivers accumulates points and money after reinsertion round. A competitor may only be reinserted one time per event, unless no other competitors are available.

Driver courtesy is needed to notify the association representative when driver is unable to make the next round. If one of the two finalist break, break rule will not apply.
