You are not going to post the rules one day before the race, are you ?

Sorry, I know time is drawing close.
However, I've got a lot going on in my personal and work life and this has gotten pushed back a bit.
I expect to have the finalized rules up by tonight my time.

Yes, bumpdrafting is allowed.
However, as has been previously discussed, if you're not sure a fellow driver wants to bumpdraft, you shouldn't attempt it. Furthermore, the way LFS damage works right now pretty strongly discourages you from using it in race conditions (qualifying is a different story).
Incidents that result from unwanted bumpdrafting will be dealt with harshly.
Alright, here's another edit to the rules (hopefully the last for this round).
Changes:
1. LL penalties have been ditched in favor of time penalties (thanks, birder!). These should be fairer and more effective. Check the various instances and if you feel the penalty is off, let me know. These numbers are discussable.
2. Spinners on the parade lap and under SC are now required to join the end of the line, rather than returning to their original position in line or re-joining the line where they recover.
As always, we're open to suggestion. Rules for this race will be finalized by tomorrow night.
As for the server for this race, the ideal solution would seem to be to use the CD server, if that's alright with Lotes et al. If that server can be added to the relay, that would be great as well.
Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Thanks very much!
Since no one seems to have any complaints, these rules revisions will be final. Please review them before the race on Saturday.
I'll be out of town this weekend (leaving on a red eye flight tonight at 9:30PM :/) so I won't see you all tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone!

Special Rules for the Oval:
1) The start will be double file behind the SC.
1.1) Since the oval starts the pole car on the outside line by default, and since this is not a benefit to the polesitter on a rolling start, the grid will be rearranged following qualifying to put the qualifiers with odd-numbered positions on the inside line.
2) During a driver change, the incoming driver may join the server up to two laps before the pit lap. This is to account for the extremely short lap time on the oval. i.e., if a car is pitting at the end of lap 100, the incoming driver may join the server as soon as the start of lap 98.
3) Bump drafting is allowed, but drivers are encouraged not to engage in it with drivers who they have not discussed the possibility with. Furthermore, drivers should be aware that bump drafting will likely result in minor damage that will require repairs during pit stops. Any incidents resulting from unwanted bump drafting, or wanted but sloppily executed bump drafting (that results in damage for a third party) will be closely investigated and could result in severe penalties. So be careful out there!
4) The commit line for pit entry is at the end of the straight approaching the final turn. You may not enter the pits from the banking of the final turn or at any point past this line. The pit exit extends all the way around turn 1 and part of the way down the straight approaching turn 2. You may not rejoin the banking until you pass over the layout's pit exit line. Failing to abide by these rules will result in the standard line crossing penalty.
