For anyone
with any questions about the upcoming season,
or
who wants to check on comments being made by people
- Keith
Page will be at the track on Friday and Saturday
until
opening night, working on preparations.
If he's not
there when you arrive, he's probably gone
to pick up
something, and he'll be back soon.
Check the NEWS page for a press
release on
the season opening event.
In response to a number of questions
about the driver
license agreement and number
application, we reviewed
the document and decided that those
complaining were right.
It was a little too complicated for
our operation.
A revised form is below these
announcements.
All Pure Street competitors should
check their rules
on this website for a change in
wording in the Weight
section. The phrase "(GM metric
chassis)" has been changed
to read "(stock chassis - no
modifications)". This has been
done simply as a clarification.
2012 Schedule is now posted on the
Schedule page.
Racers, check the classifieds. Keith
Royalty has
a number of Hoosier 1070 scuffs to
sell.
Keith Page and the Corbin Speedway
management team
would like to express our
appreciation to all Corbin
competitors - past, present, and all
who will be competing
in the 2012 season and beyond -
for all the tremendous
positive feedback we have
received from all participants,
both local and surrounding areas. We
believe this shows that
the traditional roots of racing are
still with us today, and are
alive and growing even in hard
economic times. We feel that
have made some great strides in
reviving Corbin Speedway,
and are looking forward to what
promises to be a very
exciting first year with the new
format, as well as with
brand new racing programs to be
presented here.
Again, our team thanks you for all of
your support.
Together, we all can make a
difference and bring our
track back to the tradition of a
tremendous place to compete.
All 2011 track champions should
contact Keith Page as
soon as possible. You will receive
first pick of reserved pit
locations in the following order -
Late Model, Sportsman,
Pure Street, Modified Mini, and Mini-Cup. No cost
involved,
simply a perk for being the track champion.
Also, all 2011
track champions will be honored on
opening night,
Saturday, March 17, and will receive
their championship trophies.
The first event of the 2012 season on
Saturday, March 17
will be the Jim Robinson Memorial, in
honor of a
tremendous competitor from the
Louisville area who
campaigned Late Models all over
Kentucky, Indiana,
and Ohio. A true friend to everyone
in racing, he
passed away early in January of this
year.
2012 rules have been completed, and
are now available on
this site. General rules applicable
to all series except where
differing in each series' rules, are
available below the
driver licensing and registration
form on this page. All
prospective competitors should read
this section thoroughly
as well as their own series rules.
Series rules are in the
applicable section.
Just to set the record straight -
Despite rumors to the contrary,
John E. Davis will have no
involvement with the operation of
Corbin Speedway during the 2012
season or the term of the
lease with Page Motorsports. John is
extremely busy with his
"day" job, and may make it to the
track when he's able to
get home on weekends, but will not be
involved in the operation.
Page Motorsports has also taken over
administration of the
IKO Junior Mini-Cup Series, which
will run 10 to 15 events
at Corbin Speedway in 2012. Probably
1st and 3rd weekends.
This will include Outlaw Mini-Cup and
IKO Junior Mini-Cup.
Baby Grand Stock Cars will also be
involved.
For the 2012 Season, Modified Mini
will change to Mini-Stock.
Super Street will change to
Sportsman.
There will be two Mini-Cup classes,
Outlaw Mini-Cup
and Junior Mini-Cup.

2012 GENERAL RULES APPLICABLE
TO ALL SERIES EXCEPT
WHERE EXEMPTED IN
SERIES-SPECIFIC RULES
Interpretation and
implementation of these rules will be the responsibility of track
officials. Any situation not specifically covered in these rules
will be acted upon by the official or officials in charge as they
deem proper at the time, and that decision will be final and binding
on all participants. These rules may be changed, modified, or
deleted at any time for any reason or for no reason by track
officials. These rules shall not be construed in any manner as to
create a contract by and between the competitors and the race track.
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET
FORTH HEREIN ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE FOR THE ORDERLY CONDUCT OF
RACING EVENTS AND TO ESTABLISH MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR
SUCH EVENTS. THE RULES SHALL GOVERN THE CONDITION OF ALL EVENTS, AND
BY PARTICIPATION IN THESE EVENTS ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE
COMPLIED WITH THESE RULES. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM PUBLICATIONS INTENDED AS A GUIDE FOR THE
CONDUCT OF THE SPORT AND THESE RULES ARE IN NO WAY A GUARANTEE
AGAINST INJURY OR DEATH TO A PARTICIPANT, SPECTATOR, OR OFFICIAL.
THE DIRECTOR OF COMPETITION SHALL
BE EMPOWERED TO PERMIT REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE DEVIATION FROM ANY
OF THE SPECIFICATIONS HEREIN OR IMPOSE ANY FURTHER RESTRICTIONS THAT
IN HIS OPINION DO NOT ALTER THE MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE REQUIREMENTS. NO
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF
SPECIFICATIONS.
ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOULD KEEP THE
FOLLOWING IN MIND: IF THE RULES DON'T SAY YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN'T.
ASK FIRST.
ANY MODIFICATION TO ANY PART IS
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY CORBIN SPEEDWAY OFFICIALS.
IMPORTANT: Any division or series
not listed in Corbin Speedway’s rules shall be considered a
“visiting” series and rules regarding their technical specifications
will be governed by their own club or sanctioning organization.
GENERAL RULES

1. The track Is
privately owned. Your right to participate can be revoked at any
time for violation of any rule.

a reflection on, the driver. Conduct detrimental to the sport will
not be tolerated, and all participants are expected to conduct
themselves accordingly.

not be permitted to stop on the track to question the flagman or any
track official. Any driver doing so will be subject to
disqualification for the remainder of the program.
4. The flagstand,

all persons other than officials without express permission of the
director of competition. Violation of this rule will subject the car

law enforcement agency and appropriate penalties will be assessed by
officials.
6. Any unlawful
activity will be reported to appropriate law enforcement agency and
appropriate penalties will be assessed by track officials.
7. No alcoholic
beverages, drugs, or weapons will be permitted on speedway property.
8. Anyone entering
the pits must purchase a pit pass and sign a release to enter pit
area. Employees, vendors, and those with season pit passes or
complimentary pit passes must also sign release. Purchase of an
entry permits a driver to participate in only one (1) series or
division for that event. Participation in any other series or
division will require purchase of a separate pit pass at the regular
rate of $25 for each additional series or division.
9. All drivers
must register their full name, social security number, address,
phone number, car number and class with track officials before
racing. Each driver must complete and execute a W-9 form and
biographical form each season.
B. GENERAL
1. Drivers MUST be
licensed and registered to participate in point awards at end of
season. License and registration fee will be $25, with $20 being
applied to the applicable division’s point fund.
2. Entry fee per
event will be $40 for car and driver. $25 will be the regular pit
pass fee, and will be applied to the applicable division’s purse for
the event. $15 will be applied to the applicable division’s point
fund.
3. Persons other
than drivers will sign in by division, and will pay the proper $25
pit pass fee. These monies will be applied to the applicable
division’s purse fund for the event.
4. All
participants must adhere to track insurance regulations. Drivers in
all series or divisions are subject to approval by track officials.
5. Drivers MUST be
14 years of age to compete in any division or series with the
exception of Junior Mini-Cup. Anyone under 18 years of age competing
in any series or division must have parental consent form on file
with the track. Drivers seven (7) years of age through 14 may
compete in Junior Mini-Cup, and may move up to Outlaw Mini-Cup
before 14 subject to track approval. The track management reserves
the right to approve or disapprove any driver, regardless of age,
depending on skill level demonstrated.
6. If a series or
division has a season sponsor or a contingency sponsor,
participating cars must display a decal in the designated position
if provided by the sponsor or track.
7. A single car
may not compete in more than one series or division per night.
8. Only race team
service vehicles will be permitted in the pit area without express
permission from the director of competition.
9. The number of
cars starting the feature race in any series or division will be
subject to the track's discretion. A consolation race may be
scheduled to fill the final spots in a feature race. Track
management reserves the right to line up the start of any race in
any manner or fashion to promote competition.
10. After a car
has been qualified it cannot be requalified for any reason. Any
driver changes must be reported to track officials, and the change
will result in that car starting from the rear in the consolation
race. If there is no consolation race, the car will start at the
rear of the feature. Failure to report driver changes will subject
the car to disqualification for the night, with other penalties
possible at the discretion of track management.
11. Rough driving
will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with severely, with
possible penalties to include forfeiture of prize monies and points
due the competitor, and other point penalties if officials deem it
applicable. Repeated offenses may result in disqualification for an
indefinite period, including the remainder of the season if deemed
suitable by officials. Cars may be sent to the rear of the field
even though neither car has spun or has brought out the caution
flag. Track officials’ judgment will prevail in all cases.
12. In the event of
a caution flag period, cars will NOT race back to the caution flag.
If the white flag has been displayed to the leader, cars will race
back to the checkered at the discretion of the flagman. Deliberate
spinning or otherwise damaging of a competitor on the final lap in
such situations will result in the offending car being placed at the
rear of the lead lap cars in the final finishing order and the
offended car being awarded the position in which it was placed prior
to the incident. Officials' judgment will prevail in such cases.
13. For restarts
following a caution flag, the field will be lined up in “Dutch”
style. The leader will be alone on the front row, with the remainder
of the cars in double file according to the running order of the
last green flag lap. The car at fault in the incident causing the
caution flag will be sent to the rear of the feld for the restart,
while the offended car will be allowed to retake his or her
position. Officials’ decisions will prevail in regard to incidents
in which a competitor is deliberately spun or damaged by another, or
in which a car takes action to avoid the incident. Cars which have
been lapped will be placed at the rear of the restart field
according to their running position.
14. The pole sitter
will determine the pace of the start at the discretion and direction
of the starter/flagman, and the lead car on restarts will determine
the pace of the restart. The starter/flagman will have discretion
over this area and the authority to direct the pole sitter if
necessary.
15. All starts and
restarts will take place on display of the green flag by the
flagman, regardless of the cars’ positions on the track. No passing
will be allowed on any start or restart until the green flag has
been displayed. The green flag will be displayed for starts and
restarts when the field reaches the the line located at the exit of
Turn 4. “Jumping” a start may result in the offending car being sent
to the rear of the field.
16. The red flag
means STOP. Drivers must slow down as quickly as safely possible and
stop. The driver must remain in the car under red flag conditions.
In conditions of extreme heat, drivers may be given verbal
permission by track officials to exit the car. However, no
adjustments or repairs may be made to the car with hands, tools, or
by any other means. Drivers who exit their car without express
permission from track officials, and cars on which any work is
performed, will be subject to immediate disqualification from that
race, and if disqualified will receive no money or points for that
particular race. Any car which passes the scene of the accident
which caused the red flag condition after having already passed
under the red flag will be disqualified for the remainder of that
particular race. In the event of an accident too close to the
start/finish line to allow cars to stop in time, officials’ judgment
as to intent will apply.
17. Cars
experiencing flat tires must go to the infield or pit area
immediately.
18. Cars with an
issue under the caution flag will be allowed to pit, and will be
given a maximum of three (3) laps under the caution to correct the
problem and return to the track. Placement in the field will be at
officials’ discretion.
19. Any cars leaving
the track and entering the pit area must maintain a safe speed.
Speeding in the pit area WILL NOT be tolerated. Offenders are
subject to disqualification from that day's events and possible
permanent disqualification from future events.
20. When the layover
flag is displayed, the car to which it is displayed must move to the
outside of the track unless other instructions are given to drivers
prior to the event. If the layover flag or the black flag is
ignored consistently, the car to which it is displayed will not be
credited with remaining laps.
21. Any race may be
declared officially complete at officials' discretion if the halfway
point has been reached, or if an inordinate time delay is expected
prior to the track being ready for competition.
22. Cars which do
not report to the lineup on time will go to the rear if the field
has started to move, unless ordered to take their original starting
position by track officials.
23. The driver is
responsible for having the car in line for practice, qualifications
and racing. If a car can not be qualified with its series, it will
start in the rear of the feature or, if a consolation race is
necessary, at the rear of the consolation race.
24. All weight will
be determined by track scales.
25. No traction
control devices of any kind will be permitted in any series.\
26. No use of
nitrous oxide or any other performance-enhancing fuel additives will
be permitted.
27. Track management
reserves the right to allow or deny any car or any driver from
participating.

reserves the right to have any car inspected at any time. Regular
technical inspection will take place before and after races. Any car
found illegal will be disqualified for the night and will forfeit
all money and points won for the night. The top three finishing cars
in any feature race must report to the tech area in the infield for
inspection. Failure to do so, or to report for inspection when
directed to do so will be considered an admission of guilt and will
result in disqualification.
