2025 Rules and Procedures

Rules and Procedures for BRP Modified Tour 2025

 

 

1. BRP Modified Tour Officials/Board Members have final say on these and any other BRP Modified Tour rules or decisions.

 

2. All drivers must declare their engine size at all events to draw a pill.  (See rule #24.7 for specific weights).  NO EXCEPTIONS AND NO REFUNDS.  All drivers must complete the entire membership package to be allowed to compete in any BRP Modified Tour event and be paid.

 

3. The registration fee will be $25 per driver, per night or $200 for all point races, to be paid at the first race of the season or in two installments over the first two events.  This will be required for each driver to pull a pill.  Perfect attendance will be based on a full schedule and will be at least $500 for every driver that competes at all point races during the season, subject to any adjustments necessary.

 

4. The race director 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 to these rules.  No expressed or implied warranty of safety shall result from such alteration of specifications.  Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the BRP Modified Tour officials, and their decisions are final.

 

5. Points go to the driver only, no exceptions.  Point values are as follows:  Heats:  6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1.  Feature points:  50, 48, 46, 44, 42, 40, 38, 36, 34, 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4.  B-Main points will be 2,  if you do not qualify for the A-Main.  24 cars will start the feature.  Every driver attending an event with their car will receive an additional 20 show-up points.  At the end of the season an additional 100 points will be added to those in perfect attendance.  A penalty of 10% will be deducted off for each race you do not attend along with 10% off if you do not attend the banquet, if held.  Example: (You miss 2 races during the series and attend the banquet we will deduct 20% from your money.  If you miss 2 races and do not attend the banquet, then we will deduct 30% of your point money).  If for some reason there is a driver change any time during the season, a new registration card must be filled out, and the points will go to the new driver.  

 

6. Modified Tour, Inc. will do the payoffs for all events.  A reasonable amount of time after the check has been deposited in the bank will be needed to give the track check to clear the account before the checks to the drivers can be written and either mailed or distributed at the next event.  Please be aware that the BRP Modified Tour cannot be responsible in the event that a promoter fails to make purse payments; or pays with a check which is later found to be non-negotiable. 

7. Rainouts: 20 show-up points for a rainout will be given only after the first heat race of the night has taken the green flag.  (Example: If we are at a track where the Sprints Cars are the first heat of the night, their first heat race must have taken the green for us to give 20 points for a rainout).  If all Modified heat races are completed and then the show is rained out, heat race points along with the 20 show-up points will be given for that night.  If all Modified heat races are not completed and it rains, no one will receive points for the heats, and you will only receive the 20 show up points for the event.

 

8. Rescheduled rain date: Only in the event of a whole new show will an additional 20 show-up points be awarded.  If it is rescheduled as a feature only make-up show, no show up points will be awarded. 

 

9. Order of Events and Lineups: The order of events and lineups at each individual track will be posted at the BRP Modified Tour trailer.  It is the responsibility of each individual race team to stay abreast of changes to those lineups in the event of changing weather conditions, cars dropping out, etc.

 

10. Pill Draw will be used to determine heat race lineups

 

11. The Modified Tour, Inc. provisional will be chosen from the perfect attendance list except for the first night which will be taken from the final BRP Modified Tour points from the previous year.  To be eligible for a provisional you must first have perfect attendance and must attempt to qualify through the B-Main, if there is one.  If a driver tells a BRP Modified Tour representative that he is going to use his provisional and then for some reason does not use it, said driver will be charged for using the provisional for the season.

 

12. Any driver that has perfect attendance will be eligible for the drawing of the 2026X Bicknell chassis which will be held with a reverse draw at the end of the season. The chassis will be awarded to the car owner of record.  

 

13. Modified Tour Official Decals – The BRP Modified Tour decals will need to be placed on both sides of the car in the back window area but no lower than the window.  The first set of decals will be provided by the Modified Tour.  After that the decals will be $5.00 each.  If you are caught without the decals in the proper placement, you will be fined and scored last.  Fines will be:  1st Offense - $250; 2nd Offense - $500 and all other recuring offenses - $500.  Fines must be paid before allowed to race again with the Modified Tour, Inc.  Modified Tour, Inc. also has the right to withhold a driver’s payoff in the event said driver has a debt to the series.

 

14. Drivers Meeting: All drivers must attend the BRP Modified Tour Driver’s Meeting.  Crew members do not count as the driver.  There will be random attendance checks.

 

15. All restarts during the heats, B-Main and features will be double file, except for a yellow flag that is thrown in the last 5 laps of the feature only, which will then find a single file restart.  The pole sitter of a feature only, will get their choice of inside or outside the front row on restarts only. 

 

16. ABSOLUTELY NO FUEL STOPS!!

 

17. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the specified feature laps of any race may change from the original posted at the beginning of the night, determined by BRP Modified Tour officials only.  (Example: Expo Speedway may be changed from 35 to 30 or 25 due to the size of the track and no additional lighting).

 

18. If you are forced to move to another car during a race event, you must first notify a BRP Modified Tour Official at the trailer.  If you have already qualified for a position in the feature, you will bring any other car out and start at the tail of the feature.  If you are not qualified for the feature, you must qualify the new car through the B-Main, starting at the rear.

 

19. All qualified feature cars need to enter the speedway surface to consider the field set for the feature.  A car can be pushed onto the track but must fire or the alternate will be sent out.  If only 23 cars are ready for the feature event, the alternate will then be added to complete the 24-car starting field.  Notify a BRP Modified Tour Official either at the trailer or seen walking through the pit area if you cannot make the feature so that the lineup can be changed, or alternates added.  Once said driver scratches from the feature, you cannot re-enter the race.  The alternate will then be added to the starting field.  If 24 cars enter the speedway surface and one car breaks before the drop of the green, the field is considered set, and no alternate will be added.

 

20. If you are involved in a caution, you go to the tail of the lead lap cars.  If a car exits the track under caution in the feature only and can return to the racing surface before the green flag is brought out, said car will return to the tail of the lead lap cars.  All lapped cars will go to the tail of the field.

 

21. Official RaceCeiver style communication only, will be used for the racing competition.  No other radios or listening devices allowed.  All drivers are required to have a one-way radio.  The one-way radio must be working and active prior to any on-track activity.  Two-way radios, crew member to driver and/or any other means of electronic communication, other than one-way radios, will not be permitted.  

 

22. Red Transponders will be required at all tracks that have a loop and a working system.  Hand scoring will be used at tracks that are not set up for the transponder system.  In cases where the finish of the race is too close to all (in real time), the track officials may use photo(s), video or electronic scoring, if available, to aid in determining the winner.  Only one (1) transponder per car is allowed.  Transponders must be mounted on inner right side sheet metal surrounding the fuel cell, no less than 24” behind the rear axle centerline at a height of 12” to 18” from the ground.  Transponders must be mounted vertically with no obstructions between the transponder and the ground.  

 

23. Tire Rules: D200/D300/D400/D500 Hoosier Tires Only!  Tire Compounds must be visible for inspection at the lineup area by BRP Modified Tour officials.  If you have them covered with tape, black grease or ground off and they are not visible for inspection by an official you will be disqualified.

 

   WEIGH-IN PROCEDURES

 

      24.0 Weight Decals: All cars registered at 2500# will not require weight stickers.  Only 2450#/2350# cars will be required to have weight decals on both sides of the car on the door posts.  All cars without weight decals will be deemed at 2500# and if you do not weigh 2500# at the scales, you will be disqualified for the night which will result in a loss of points and money.  Additional decals will be $2.00 each. 

​

      24.1 The weigh-in: All drivers will weigh after heat races.  Qualified Cars will weigh after B-Main, and top 5 cars after feature events with the possibility of a random draw in the feature, if scales are available.  Any car that goes to its’ pit area before going to the scales will be disqualified from that race without right of protest or appeal. (See rule 24.3 for punishment)

​

       24.2 The weigh-in procedure is as follows:

The car must approach the scales at a safe speed, ease onto the scales, come to a complete stop, and let the engine idle.  If the car is not positioned properly, it will ease off the scales and repeat the procedure.  The driver shall refrain from excessive motion while the car is on the scales and shall not rock or bounce the car.  The driver will not rev the motor.  When instructed, the car will ease off the scales.  Failure to comply with any portion of this procedure shall be deemed to be unsportsmanlike conduct and the driver may be subject to discipline which may include disqualification without right of protest or appeal.

​

        24.3 Underweight : If a car is determined to be too light after the race is over, the car shall be reweighed.  The BRP Modified Tour Officials, in their sole discretion, shall determine the best course of action for reweighing.  The location of the scales and proximity of the line of cars are two factors in that determination.  The BRP Modified Tour Officials may simply back the car up to the scales and reweigh.  The car shall repeat the weigh-in procedures.  If the car is determined to be too light again, it will be disqualified from the race and relegated to last place in the official order of finish, without right of protest or appeal.  If the car makes the minimum weight the second time it is weighed, it will be deemed to be legal.  No car will be weighed more than two (2) times.  If the driver is found to be light and goes to the driver’s pit area or onto the track, it will be presumed that the car is too light and it will be disqualified from that race and relegated to last place in the official order of finish, receive last place money and points, all without right of protest or appeal, and the driver may be subject to discipline.  

        24.4 Driver’s responsibility: It is the driver’s responsibility to be sure that the car always meets the minimum weight requirements.  The driver may request that the car be weighed at any time before or during the program so long as the request does not interfere with the orderly presentation of the program.

​

        24.5 Earlier Weight Checks:  Cars may be weighed several times over the course of the racing program.  Just because the car made minimum weight earlier in the program will not be controlling any other time the car is weighed.  

​

         24.6 No Tolerances: The BRP Modified Tour does not allow for any tolerances for fuel burn-off or any other reason.
