F. CLAIM PROCEDURE

CLAIM RULE (APPLICABLE TO DRIVERS ONLY) To claim you must meet all of the following criteria: • Own a current Ocean Speedway license • Must have finished on the lead lap of the "A" main event of the night you are claiming • Must have competed in the prior week’s 4-Banger race.

CLAIM PROCEDURE Top five cars {1-5 finishers in the "A" Main event} up for claim. • Pull into the infield AFTER the "A" main event and present $1300.00 cash to on track official within 5 minutes of end of main event and let official know the car that you wish to claim. • Driver that is being claimed has the choice to take the $1300.00 cash or exchange cars with the driver making the claim plus $100.00 • Claim DOESN’T include seat belts and drivers seat • If a driver refuses a claim, then the car that they refused to give up can no longer be driven at Ocean Speedway in the Four Banger division (even if the owner of the car changes). Also, if a driver refuses a claim, then he/she has forfeited any points or prize money for that night and loses right to claim any other 4-Banger for 12 calendar months from refusal date. If more than one person claims the same car, the winner of the claim will be based on finishing order for that night’s race. The driver who finishes closest to the fifth position will have priority over other claimants. • An exception to this procedure is that anyone who finished in the top five positions for that race cannot make a claim. • Promoter can claim any car at any time. • Drivers are allowed a maximum of two claims per race season
