The course is designed to give participants a solid foundation in effective communication and consistent flagging practices to support safe and efficient race control.

The communications portion of the class covers the different communication systems used at PIR, including radios and track communication protocols. Participants will learn proper radio etiquette, call structure, terminology, and how to make clear, concise calls to Race Control and other track personnel during on-track incidents and changing track conditions.

The flagging portion of the class reviews the flags used in racing and their meanings, with emphasis on proper display, positioning, and timing. The course also covers key differences in flagging regulations and procedures used by ICSCC, SCCA, and SOVREN, as well as standard hand signals used by corner workers to communicate with drivers and other track personnel.
