Event requirements

 

    "THE RATS RUNNETH OVER" 

(Event Specific Information). RAT RACE RULES available on-line at www.starprojectsevents.com.

The RAT RACE is presented by and under the control of STAR Projects and all arbitrary and capricious enactments and rules made on the spot will be final.

Although we will identify inexperienced drivers with Day-glo panels on front and back, Please be advised: For both the school and race portions of this event, entrant’s driving skills and qualifications have not been scrutinized, you may very well be on course with other drivers of marginal talent and dubious experience, drive courtesy and  defensively.

 

Rules for passing and general conduct of the day can be found in the RAT RACE Series tab under RULES AND SUCH on the www.starprojectsevents.com website. They will also be explained at the driver meeting at the beginning of the day. Attendance is mandatory for all drivers. 

 

GENERAL RULES, GOOD ADVICE ETC.

(Most of mine, Some of the tracks).

  • All persons entering the racetrack are required to sign a release and wear at all times the issued security wrist band. (Yes, on your wrist, either side, your choice).
  • Although we review flags at the drivers meeting, all drivers are expected to have a thorough understanding of  their meaning and how they are displayed. Proper responses should be committed to memory BEFORE you get to the track. A primer is available by request.
  • Hot pit space is limited. Get to know your neighbors and share pit and paddock space. We will do our best to group all multi-car teams and those sharing refueling / pit crews.
  • To provide room for necessary support equipment all non-essential vehicles may be required to move from the paddock areas. (Nobody wants to set up twice).
  • Don’t lock your car in a critical area and disappear, we will not be responsible for damage to vehicles that must be moved by fork lift, or other means.
  • All cars are subject to Tech inspection and will conform to regular and customary safety requirements for the type of event in which the car is normally entered. (ie: A track day sedan needs a good seat belt and helmet. A GT-1 car needs a Snell 2005 or better helmet, full fire suit, fuel cell, on board fire system, full roll cage stamped by the prevailing sanctioning body. etc.).  If you have any questions ask BEFORE you get to the track.
  • No fuel is available at the track, bring your own supply.
  • Cars must have at least one wheel chalked during driver changes and especially when fueling.
  • All fueling and practice fuel stops will be done engine off, with a fire extinguisher and person on duty whose sole job is to operate it. 
  • Driver must be out of the car while fueling.
  • Any pit stop that requires repairs that will take more than 10 minutes to complete, or jacking the car more than one end of the vehicle per stop must be removed to the paddock.
  • All spills must be reported immediately to the track staff to avoid damage to the pavement.
  • We cannot guarantee that the electrical hook-ups will be functional. (bring a generator if you need power).
  • Dog are allowed. Pick up after them and keep them on a leash when the track is hot.
  • No open fires are allowed.
  • Please pick up all litter (cigarette butts, etc.) before leaving the track.
  • No use of alcohol or intoxicants of any kind are allowed until ALL road course activities are closed for the day.
  • Drivers / Team Captains are responsible for the behavior of their entire crew and guests. (See the rule above).

“STAR PROJECTS IS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN….RIGHT AFTER SAFETY”.

Yours for the sport,
