TECH
All cars may be teched at any time upon entering the pit area at the discretion of the series promoter/track officials. The engine of each competitor will be pumped as close to the beginning of the season as possible. Any car joining the association during the course of the season will be pumped upon entering the pit area prior to the competition. At each event during the course of the season two cars selected at random from the top ten in average points will be pumped prior to each competition. At the conclusion of the feature event the top four finishers are required to go to the tech area for inspection prior to returning to their specific pit area. The featuere event winner should report to be weighed prior to going to victory lane. All transfer cars plus the first non-transfer car from preliminary events must weigh before going to their pit area.

HEADS
For Spec Heads the ASCS stamp may not be altered in any way. Intake opening may not be larger than original opening. The only exception is that the inlet opening may be ground or polished 3/4 inches, or no further into port than the closest edge of the closest letter of the ASCS logo. During this polishing the left side of the letter "A" is sometimes inadvertently brushed with polish wheel. This is permissible as long as letter is still intact. During polishing of inlet port, sometimes polish marks may go slightly further than the 3/4 inch. Intake port at no time may exceed 215 cubic centimeters.
Intake port polishing will be allowed no more than 1 1/2 inches below the bottom of the original seat ring on the back side of the bowl area and no more than 1 inch on the short side. Polishing will be allowed in the combustion chamber area to avoid hot spot chaffing. Polishing will be allowed in exhaust ports as long as the original ASCS logo is not affected or port shape is not altered substantially.
Absolutely no intake or exhaust port relocation, raising, enlargement or reshaping of any type is allowed. Valve angle and placement may not be altered in any way on the ASCS spec head or on any other head. Any internally repaired ASCS spec head must be re-certified by Brodix.
Non-spec heads will be allowed, but they must have an unaltered ASCS or Felpro #8E89208 intake-restricting gasket installed. Unaltered means absolutely no modifications to bolt holes or port sizing. These gaskets are to be installed right side up with logo on top.
The ASCS or Felpro #8E89208 restrictor gasket must protrude a minimum of 0.150 inch into the roofline of both the injector port and the cylinder head port. There shall be no streamlining or recon touring of intake ports or injectors to reduce the effect of the restrictor gaskets.

Ford or Chrysler engines are not subject to intake restrictor gasket. But, intake port may not exceed 215 cubic centimeters in any engine. If the heads are cast iron a restrictor gasket must be used when the intake ports are larger than 1.350 x 2.025.
No Brodix #12 heads are allowed. 18-degree heads or canted valve heads are not allowed. Heads, excluding Ford/Mopar, must be the original 23-degree valve angle heads. All aluminum heads must retain within 1 degree of the OEM valve angle.
The rules pertain to the small block Chevrolet. However, any engine may be used after the series officials have approved the heads. Penalty for altered spec head or altering gasket can include disqualification, forfeiture of points and money, and/or suspension.

A two spin rule applies in all races.
PUSH OFFS
Cars receiving more than one push off at the start of an event will be moved to the tail of the event unless stopped by the officials.
Pushisg off is not an opportunity to hot lap. Cars should idle until given a signal by a track official to close the field or the waiving of a green flag.

PROVISIONAL AWARDS
Drivers competing in five consecutive events of the season will be awarded a provisional that may be used only in the season that it is issued. To keep the provisional active, the driver must compete in 75% of the races to the date of request. Only one provisional starting spot will be awarded per race event. The request will go to the driver that is highest in current Winged Outlaw Warriors Points. Provisionals will only be awarded to registured members and are not transferrable.
Drivers who compete in 100% of the season's events will be awarded a Provisional Award at the WOW Banquet that may be used any time in the next year, as long as they are a registed Winged Outlaw Warriors member.
FEATURE EVENT RAIN OUT
If a racing program should be cancelled after heat races (NO LAPS have been completed in the A-Main) and the event is not being resceduled or refunded, all A-Main qualified cars will receive 80 points for the event and all qualified B-Main cars will receive 50 points.
Prize money will be paid by heat race finishes for the A-Main. i.e.
3 heats = A-Main's first, second and third place money /divided by 3 = First in a heat race
A-Main's fourth, fifth and sixth place money /divided by 3 = Second in a heat race.
The A-Main purse will be segmented into the number of heats. Each segment will be added and divided by the number of heats. This will be the heat finishing position prize money for the event.
A-Mains that the leader has not taken the green flag to begin the 10th lap will be paid by segmenting the running order into the number of heats ran that night and dividing the prize money in the same manner as desribed above.
3 heats = A-Main's first, second and third place money /divided by 3 = Cars scored 1st, 2nd,3rd
A-Main's fourth, fifth and sixth place money /divided by 3 = Cars scored 4th,5th,6th
Any A-Main ran less than the leader crossing under the green flag on the 10th lap will award points and money as described above.
Rules subject to change without notice.
