• If your car is leaking fuel, there is a high risk of a fire igniting

• You can be DQ'd by the Tech Inspector post race

• A DQ is limited to an event basis, receiving a DQ does not mean you are not welcome back

• Everyone has a boiling point, this sport can easily drive people to that point
• If you cannot control your temper while on the track, you will be Black Flagged
• If you still don't control yourself, you will be DQ'd from the event and asked to leave for the day
• If your temper gets the best of you even while you are out of your car, you will be asked to either calm yourself down or leave
• Don't let your temper get the best of you... It will cost you points and can give you a bad reputation among drivers
• If you threaten ANYONE (driver, crew, official, fan) you will be asked to leave immediately
• If your behavior remains unchanged from event to event, you will eventually be asked not to join us anymore

• A protest must be presented within 15 minutes of the incident, if it involves a Payout related issue
• A protest about a driver's car/driving habits must be presented before the end of the event, before the officials leave
• NEETS Officials will listen to any and all complaints/protests made as long as these rules are followed
• If these simple rules are not followed, we cannot be responsible for a finalized decision
• Once a decision is deemed final, it is not longer open to protest
• If you are worried about how to state an issue on paper or you don't have paper, come to the Official's Tower, we will provide you with any item/help necesary
• Filing a protest in writing supports your claim in any future disputes that may arise
• So long as you follow procedure, you will not be denied the respect of a proper judgement regarding your issue by the Promoter
