UMC Roll Racing 8/17/2024

Overview

Two cars at a time, roll at approx. 40 mph to the start line together and then race to the finish line at 1000 ft.

Procedure

• Track entry and exit will be through Gate 2 – UMC Track Staff will ensure driver and vehicle has been properly credentialed. Once the driver enters gate 2, they will make a left to go up “return road” (pit road this will be counter track at pit road speed).  The driver will continue along “return road” until he/she gets to turn 15 on the East Track.  They will then stage on the road course 2 cars wide from our provisional start line.
• Two cars will line up and wait for the signal of the Starter
• After the signal, both cars will get up to 40mph
• Once they cross the start line (cones with green flags) the race has officially began and both cars will race to the 1000 ft mark
• The first one to cross the finish line wins! Finish line is marked by two tall cones with checkered flags.
• Drivers are required to immediately get off the gas, and slow their vehicle down in the “shut down” area, the length of this shut down space is 2300 ft
• Drivers will make a sharp right hand turn on to the service road located at Turn 1 of the West Track and return to the pits.
• Drivers will have the choice of making another Roll Racing pass or exit the track at Gate 3.
• The next pair of cars will move forward to the provisional start line.  Once the Starter has received the radio call from the UMC Track Staff located at Turn 1 that the vehicles have cleared from the track, the starter will single for the next pair of cars to run.
