Can anyone please point me in the direction to the relevant rule number in the SNZ rule book regarding run offs in Superstocks/Stockcars? I've searched and searched yet fail to find it.
Thanks in advance

As far as I know there are no special rules covering run off's so there would be no sub section. Every racing rule covers every stockcar/superstock race except teams races, which from memory is stipulated in the book of words as 4 cars per team, stockcars may use 5 or words to that effect.
So run offs are just considered normal races, which I guess they are really seen they are only ever used to fit a format.

So, a blocking car waiting for the leader in a rum off needs to be moving to avoid being stationary and the reds activated for him? I found the run off with 95r and 16b frustrating that 95r was quite happy to coast over the line at 5km/h??

M4-31-6 In the case of a tie on points for first, second or third place overall, there will be a 4-lap run off.
Racing rules are the same as any other individual race

There is a racing rule that says something like you if you must keep moving, no matter how slowly. You may not come to a complete stop . |

If I was in a run off that the result determined me taking my place in the finals field of 26 for my national championship, I'd be just as happy to coast over the line at 5km/h also wouldn't you? |

I'm not saying that at all. Its within the rules so all the power to him. Just the fact that both cars need to keep moving, reduces the effect of waiting to stop and block the other car does it not? |

The mistake made was not taking on the first car around him, of course the second car was going to crawl along with him.

Three possible senarios, well Four really but one is very silly but not beyond the realm of possibillity. 1; neither could complete 4 laps without outside assistance, re run - 4p can't make it, 3nz wins. 2; neither could complete 4 laps without outside assistance, 3nz leads when reds come on, (assuming reds come on straight away and 4p is still behind) 3nz wins 3; (the silly one) reds come on, 4p still moving as KO'd, 4p DQ'd for moving under reds. 3nz wins 4; 4p DQ'd for OAA, 3nz wins. |

The car in front got there some how so deserves to win the run off. |

Or could we have a 3nz= like Stan n TMac years back?? |
