INSTRUCTIONS
1. The NEETS official head scorer will instruct you on how to properly score your driver
     at each event in a scorers meeting before the race. Any questions should be directed
     to him at this time.
2. You should have a clipboard with your car number on the back with large contrasting
     numbers so the head scorer car read it from a distance.
  a. If you do not have a clipboard, you can write the car number on the back of the
     score sheet in black magic marker.
  b. All scoring will be done in black or blue ink.
3. Scorers will sit in a designated area by the series and will be guided there by the head
     scorer before the race begins where further instructions may be added.
4. All NEETS races will be rolling starts and will not be scored until the green flag drops.
5. Once the green flag drops the head scorer will either start or uncover the "FLOP CLOCK"
     and you will write down the number on the flop clock every time your car passes over the
     Start/Finish line (or a designated mark on the track) in the proper boxes on the score
     sheet in order.
  a. If for any reason during the race the Flop clock fails to operate, the head scorer will
     call the Chief starter and stop the race and continue when clock is repaired or if not
     repaired will designate scorers to keep track of positions of all cars.
6. The flop clock will continue to operate non-stop until the race is over whether by laps run
     or time limit.
7. The flop clock will be covered by the head scorer under all red flag conditions.
  a. IMPORTANT: All cars must stop on the track wherever they are under a RED flag
     and resume from this spot when the GREEN flag is once again back out. If your car has
     not passed the designated spot when it stops....DO NOT write the number down until
     the GREEN flag is back out and the car has passed the designated spot.
8. Every ten (10) laps you must hold your score sheet up so as the head scorer can read your
     number and copy it down. Hold the sheet up until the head scorer reads your number.
     If you fail to do this it may reflect a discrepancy on the final results.
9. If the car you are scoring leaves the track and enters the pit area, enter the letter "P" next
     to the last lap scored. Then continue to write down the numbers when the car passes the
     designated spot after re-entering the race.
10. If the car you are scoring receives a black flag for any reason, your score sheet will be
     pulled by the head scorer.
11. At the conclusion of the race, the clock will be covered and the score sheets will
     immediately be gathered by the head scorer.

TRANSPONDER SCORED ENDURO RACES
1. Mahoning Valley Speedway utilizes the computerized AMB transponder system for all scoring.
2. Your team will not need a manual scorer for these races.
3. You must purchase a $5.00 bracket (one time fee) and properly install it on your vehicle
     according to NEETS guidelines. A rental fee of $10 will be charged for the usage of the
     transponder units by the race track at each of these events.
     The brackets will be available at Mahoning Valley Speedway.
  a. IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to make sure of the transponder unit installation.      Improperly installed or loss of transponders while racing will result in your car not being
     scored no matter where you finished. With the amount of cars on the track, it is hard to
     determine if a car's unit is not showing up on the computer. If it is caught and brought to the
     attention of the NEETS officials we will black flag the car from the speedway and notify the
     driver of the problem. No lost laps will be awarded back to the driver.
4. Upon entering the pits, the driver must immediately register his name and car number with the
     transponder operator in the pit shack.
5. All cars will immediately turn in units at the pit shack at the conclusion of the race or if you
     car is not able to complete the race.
     Payouts will not take place until ALL units are turned in and accounted for.
