Spec Tires
Q: What tires can I run at Oswego?
A: Here is the approved tire list for 2010. This applies to all classes. Questions? Send e-mail to info@cnyroadrace.com
  • Bridgestone: YKC (all classes, including 4-cycle). You may also use YHC tires, which are no longer made, but if you have them left over, you can continue to run them.
You do not have to purchase tires from the track. You may purchase from any vendor.
Weather
Q: Are races cancelled for bad weather?
A: At Oswego, we race rain or shine.

We do not race in heavy downpours nor when there is lightning in the area.

But if it's misting or very lightly raining, proceed to the track, because we are likely to race.

Arguing and Protests
Q: How do I formally protest a rules infraction?
A: Importantly, under no circumstances are you permitted to argue in the pits. Oswego Speedway has a zero tolerance policy for arguing (anywhere at the Speedway, but in the pits in particular).

Definition of Arguing. If you are engaged in an argument, you will be causing the people around you to be uncomfortable. They will be saying things like "Why don't these guys shut up?", "Why am I having to listen to this?", "This isn't what I came here to hear", "This is really annoying me", "This is taking all the fun out of racing", and so forth.

This issue isn't how loud you are, nor what vocubulary you are using--it's strictly how the people around you are reacting to what you are saying and doing. This is called a "Community Standard". So, if the people around you say you're arguing, then you are arguing. Period.

If you are arguing, it may be that someone will ask you to stop. If you stop, immediately, and apologize to everyone around you, then the entire incident may be forgiven (at the discretion of the Race Director). However, remember that this is a zero tolerance policy. Thus, you may be evicted from the speedway for arguing, whether or not you were warned, or whether you were asked to stop.

OK, so back to the original question. If you don't like what happened during a race or in the pits, you should bring your concerns to the attention of the Race Director (Rick Martell). His decisions are final.

You are strongly advised to understand and heed this policy.
