Time Trials per ULMS rules will be the following: 3 heats will be straight up; 4 heats will result in A&B group qualifying. ULMS will redraw for the feature with the top 2 heat finishers redrawing after their heats.

Also new for 2023 is after the 3rd caution the restarts will be single file and all cautions with less than 5 laps in the feature will be single file. ULMS will still utilize the Delaware restart procedures leading up to the fourth caution to initial the single fire restarts. Also beginning this year when the second place car chooses his lane under the Delaware restart, all other positions will follow as suit (2nd place chooses outside 3rd in 4th out, 5th in and so on).
All late model teams must present their cars along with safety equipment (helmet and Hans device) at pre-race safety and car inspection. Once your car has been inspected you will not need to present your safety equipment again, unless you enter a different car during the weekend.

ULMS will be using the universal body rule for 2023 including the droop rule where the droop will be check once the Left Rear tire leaves the ground.
