GUIDE FOR A TYPICAL DAY OF RACING.
Most people try to arrive at the track as early as possible. This lets them prepare their cars, test their equipment and get some practice before the race. This is also a great time to talk to the other drivers and get help with problems you might be having. Don't be afraid to ask a more experienced racer to try out your vehicle. They may notice something in the handling you might have missed. Before turning on your controller you will need to go to the frequency board and pin your frequency. If the frequency is already pinned it is in use, you will need to wait until the clip is removed. If two people try and use the same frequency at the same time they will not be able to control their vehicles. Before the race starts a signup sheet will be made available and an announcement will be made. You will fill out the signup sheet (print clearly so there are no miss understandings with your information). Before the races start the information will be entered into the race computer. If two people are singed up for the same class and have the same frequency a track official will work with the drivers to try and get one of them to a new frequency.

A few minutes before the race starts an announcement will be made to come get your transponder and you will pass it over the loop to be sure it is working properly and you have the right one. The race sheets will be posted. The race sheets shows who are in each race, the order of the races, everyone not in the race needs to turn off all radios. Radios must remain off during the races when not being used for racing. If you are not marshaling or driving in a race you may NOT turn your radio on for any reason.

There will be an announcement made three minutes till the next race. At this time the racers in the first heat will pick up the transponder that you were assigned from the announcers booth then head to pit lane where you will securely attach the transponder and then start your car and head to the drivers stand. The drivers can stand where ever they wish on the drivers stand just remember to be courteous to the other drivers on the stand. The stars and landing going up to the drivers stand is not to be used as a driving location it interrupts the view for other drivers.

We use an AMBrc system drivers with personal transponder will need to enter their transponder number so it can be added to their profile. We also have rental transponders for those that do not have personals. "Rental transponders will require a deposit of a credit card, drivers license, or 120.00 cash the deposit will be returned on return of the transponder in original working condition as when you borrowed it."

The drivers from the last race will walk on to the track and stand at designated points. They will be the turn marshals. If a vehicle gets stuck near them it is their job to get the vehicle back in the race as soon as possible, but in a safe manner. Just like driving, it takes practice to be a good marshal. When you marshal, watch your area of responsibility, not the race. For the first race the drivers from the last race on the schedule will marshal. If you are unable to marshal, or need the time to get repairs made, you can ask another racer to take your place but make sure it is approved with the track director. If you do not marshal or get a replacement you will be docked one lap on your next race.

The race computer will sound out 1 minute to go at this point you should be headed for the starting gate. At the 30 second count you should be on the gate. A 10 second count down will began telling the drivers the race will start in less than 10 seconds. At the tone the gate is dropped and the race is started. You will be informed at three minute intervals of race progress. At the half way mark you will hear the running order of the cars. At the end of the race you are told to finish the lap you are on. The driver that completes the most laps, including his last one, wins the race. If two or more drivers complete the same number of laps it goes in the order of lap times.

After the race the drivers collect their vehicles, turn them and their radio off. return track transponder to the base in its proper location. Those drivers must now marshal for the next race. This is repeated until every class has run once, that is the end of the first heat.

Point Races
Will run with the same principles from above, There will not be exceptions made for the marshalling rule. If you do not marshal or get a substitute you will be docked on laps. We will run two heat races and a main for each class. The top driver from each of the lower mains ei; B, C, D- will move up in mains. Points are awarded for participation, Top Qualifier, and position placed.
