Safety¶
Safety is taken seriously, even if the race itself is not. The Head of Safety has the final say on all safety-related decisions.
Required Safety Equipment¶
- A seat belt, door, and helmet are required for everyone riding in the car.
- Helmets must be DOT approved with a chin strap.
- No batting helmets, bicycle helmets, or hard hats. Those are not legal headgear.
- One fire extinguisher in every car, and one in the pit for every team.
- At least one working brake light when the race starts.
Flags¶
| Flag | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Stop immediately | Pull over and stop. Repeat offenders can expect severe punishment and public embarrassment (TBD). |
| Black | Exit the track | Go to the pits immediately. |
Pit Stops Are Mandatory
You must make a pit stop for any of the following:
- A flat tire
- Causing a red flag
- Multiple non-stops on a red flag
Pit Area Rules¶
- A valid driver’s license is required to be in the pit area.
- No kids allowed in the pits.
- No weapons of any kind.
- Pit area is limited to one car length in width.
- ATVs, UTVs, and golf carts are allowed for utility work only on race day.
Recommendations¶
These are not required, but strongly suggested:
- Roll bars.
- Designate a driver, or plan to stay and camp.
- Disengage the air bags.
Conduct¶
- Rubbing is racing, but be smart about it. This is not a demolition derby.
- Head of Safety decisions are final.
