2020 Wheelman Sportsman Series Rules
The rules and/or regulations set forth herein do not express or imply warranty of safety, from
publication of, or compliance with these rules and/or regulations. They are intended as a guide
for the conduct of the Wheel Man Sportsman Series and are in no way a guarantee against
injury to participants.
These rules and/or regulations will apply to all Wheel Man Sportsman Series sanctioned racing
events.
Wheel Man Sportsman Series officials have full authority over said sanctioned racing events. In
the event of any dispute, the Series Director’s decision will be final.
All race cars are subject to be inspected by the track’s or series Technical Director at any time
during the event. The Wheel Man Sportsman Series reserves the right to alter or amend these
rules and/or regulations in the interest of safety and/or fair competition.
Throughout this Rulebook, several references are made for particular products to meet certain
specifications (i.e. SFI Specs, Snell, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are
manufactured to meet certain specifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels
the product as meeting that spec.
Therefore, except as outlined under SFI requirements, any change to the product voids that
certification. Under no circumstances may any certified product be modified, altered, or in any
way vary from the “as manufactured” condition. Such a practice is in violation of the SFI, Snell,
etc. program, and voids such certification and, therefore will not be accepted by the Wheel
Man Sportsman Series.
Please remember that we are here because of the Fans, Promoters and the Sponsors. If they
don’t benefit…we won’t. While we understand that this Competition involves substantial
financial stakes, there is no excuse for bad or unruly behavior, which would tend to bring the
Series into disrepute.
The Wheel Man Sportsman Series is a professional organization and will conduct itself so in its
dealings with everyone, including Fans, Drivers, Team Members, Series Sponsors, Team
Sponsors, Tracks and the Press. The Series therefore expects the same from its Drivers, Team
Members and Team Sponsors. The Series organizers and officials therefore reserve the right to
take disciplinary action against anyone who brings the Series into disrepute by their actions,
either on or off the track.
Disciplinary action may also include, but is not limited to, the right of the Series organizers and
officials to suspend either temporarily, or permanently, any driver, team member or team
sponsor whose actions, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Series organizers and officials,
may have resulted in, or may result in, harm or detriment to the Wheel Man Sportsman Series
Events.
The Series organizers and officials also reserve the Right to request the removal of any
derogatory or distasteful statements on any racecar or hauler. Failure to comply with this
request for removal may result in disqualification from some or all of the Wheel Man
Sportsman Series Events.
The decisions made, and the disciplinary actions taken, by the Series organizers and Officials
hereunder shall not be appealed by the Driver, Team Member or Team Sponsor affected
thereby.
Any Driver entering and competing in a Wheel Man Sportsman Series event acknowledges and
accepts the following: Wheel Man Sportsman Series and its officials may use the Driver’s
names, pictures, likeness, and performances in any way, medium, or material. Including without
limitations by and through, television, radio airwave, cable and satellite broadcasts, film for
productions, videotape reproductions, audiotake reproductions, transmissions over the
Internet and public and private online service authorized by Wheel Man Sportsman Series and
the like, before, during and after the event for promoting, advertising, recording or reporting in
the event or any other Wheel Man Sportsman Series sanctioned event, and do hereby

The rules and/or regulations set forth herein do not express or imply warranty of safety, from
publication of, or compliance with these rules and/or regulations. They are intended as a guide
for the conduct of the Wheel Man Sportsman Series and are in no way a guarantee against
injury to participants.
These rules and/or regulations will apply to all Wheel Man Sportsman Series sanctioned racing
events.
Wheel Man Sportsman Series officials have full authority over said sanctioned racing events. In
the event of any dispute, the Series Director’s decision will be final.
All race cars are subject to be inspected by the track’s or series Technical Director at any time
during the event. The Wheel Man Sportsman Series reserves the right to alter or amend these
rules and/or regulations in the interest of safety and/or fair competition.
Throughout this Rulebook, several references are made for particular products to meet certain
specifications (i.e. SFI Specs, Snell, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are
manufactured to meet certain specifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels
the product as meeting that spec.
Therefore, except as outlined under SFI requirements, any change to the product voids that
certification. Under no circumstances may any certified product be modified, altered, or in any
way vary from the “as manufactured” condition. Such a practice is in violation of the SFI, Snell,
etc. program, and voids such certification and, therefore will not be accepted by the Wheel
Man Sportsman Series.
Please remember that we are here because of the Fans, Promoters and the Sponsors. If they
don’t benefit…we won’t. While we understand that this Competition involves substantial
financial stakes, there is no excuse for bad or unruly behavior, which would tend to bring the
Series into disrepute.
The Wheel Man Sportsman Series is a professional organization and will conduct itself so in its
dealings with everyone, including Fans, Drivers, Team Members, Series Sponsors, Team
Sponsors, Tracks and the Press. The Series therefore expects the same from its Drivers, Team
Members and Team Sponsors. The Series organizers and officials therefore reserve the right to
take disciplinary action against anyone who brings the Series into disrepute by their actions,
either on or off the track.
Disciplinary action may also include, but is not limited to, the right of the Series organizers and
officials to suspend either temporarily, or permanently, any driver, team member or team
sponsor whose actions, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Series organizers and officials,
may have resulted in, or may result in, harm or detriment to the Wheel Man Sportsman Series
Events.
The Series organizers and officials also reserve the Right to request the removal of any
derogatory or distasteful statements on any racecar or hauler. Failure to comply with this
request for removal may result in disqualification from some or all of the Wheel Man
Sportsman Series Events.
The decisions made, and the disciplinary actions taken, by the Series organizers and Officials
hereunder shall not be appealed by the Driver, Team Member or Team Sponsor affected
thereby.
Any Driver entering and competing in a Wheel Man Sportsman Series event acknowledges and
accepts the following: Wheel Man Sportsman Series and its officials may use the Driver’s
names, pictures, likeness, and performances in any way, medium, or material. Including without
limitations by and through, television, radio airwave, cable and satellite broadcasts, film for
productions, videotape reproductions, audiotake reproductions, transmissions over the
Internet and public and private online service authorized by Wheel Man Sportsman Series and
the like, before, during and after the event for promoting, advertising, recording or reporting in
the event or any other Wheel Man Sportsman Series sanctioned event, and do hereby
relinquish all rights there to for these purposes, provided however that the car owner and
driver shall retain the exclusive use of its or his name; picture and likeness in connection
with product endorsements and the sale of products, services, concessions and merchandise.
