GENERAL RULES: The track concession stand will be open for breakfast at lunch both days. It is
recommended that you not bring pets to the track. However, if you do bring your pet, it must remain
restrained (leash, cage, pen, etc.) at all times. Do not dump oil, gas or coolant anywhere. Take your fluids
home. You must take everything you bring to the track with you when you leave. Use caution and common
sense when raising your car and supporting it on jack stands. Part of the paddock area is grass so it is
recommended that you use plywood or metal plates beneath your jacks and jack stands. No glass containers
are allowed on the property. Anyone riding an ATV or motorized scooter must be a licensed driver and wear a
helmet. Weapons are not allowed at the track.


FLAGS AND THEIR MEANINGS:
ï‚· Yellow, standing – You are approaching an incident where your and other’s safety are at risk. The
racing surface may be clear but there is immediate danger to you or others if you left the racing surface.
Slow significantly and proceed thru the incident at a reduced speed. There is no passing from the flag
until past the emergency incident.
ï‚· Yellow, waving - You are approaching an incident that has great danger to you and others. The racing
surface may be partially or completely blocked. Slow significantly and be prepared to stop. All efforts
should be made to proceed through a Waving Yellow Flag in single file order. There is no passing from
the flag until past the emergency incident. The no passing zone starts at a perpendicular line across
the track from the flag and ends at a perpendicular line across the track from the last component of the
incident causing the yellow flag. The last component may be the car, driver, responding officials, other
vehicles and/or large debris.
ï‚· Red & yellow, striped – there is debris on the track ahead, possibly oil, coolant, dirt, an errant animal
and/or parts of a fellow driver’s car. Be prepared to respond accordingly.
ï‚· Red – STOP as quickly as safely possible, pull to the side of the track to allow maximum room for
emergency vehicles, stay in your car and await instructions from a corner worker. We REALLY don’t
want to show this flag!
ï‚· Blue / yellow stripe – a faster car is following. Allow it to pass at the next passing zone. Acknowledge
the blue flag with a small wave to both the worker and the following car. This courtesy prevents
tailgating, mirror driving, and promotes safety and reduces aggression. Observe the Blue/yellow
striped flag.
ï‚· Black – enter the pits at the next opportunity to consult with an event official.
ï‚· Checkered - will only be shown on driver’s left at Starter stand. The session is over. Proceed on a
cool-off lap by slowing down and using the brakes as little as is safe. Allow your car and yourself to
cool down and relax. Proceed to pit lane and attempt to wipe that silly grin off your face.
