BRL Rules updated 9/22/2022
An Incident Review Team (IRT) will consist of three teams of two stewards and two alternates, plus the Admin.
Each team will alternate weeks.
A team of two stewards will review every caution of every race each week. They will determine if the incident should be penalized and if so, who the at fault racer is.
If the stewards are in agreement that there was no violation the incident will be closed.
If the stewards disagree, an alternate steward will be chosen to review the incident.
An alternate will also be used if one of the stewards is involved in a particular incident.
IRT reviews incidents that cause a caution and ALL incidents on the last lap of the race. If you feel that an incident that does not cause a caution should be reviewed for possible rule violations, you must file a protest via email to the Admin within 24 hours of the race end. lowelljewell [at] msn.com
You should include the following:
-Series
-Lap number
-Brief description of incident
-NO REPLAY CLIPS (only send clips if/when asked to do so by Admin)
The Admin will forward all protests to the IRT.
