Karts and Junior Carts ARE allowed to run at this event.
Heats
The event will be split into three or four heats, depending on the amount of participation. As an organization ran by volunteers, entrants will participate in the event by driving one heat and working another. During off heats, you can relax and enjoy watching other competitors’ on-course.
Workers
Work schedules for 4-heat events are as follows:
Heat 1 drivers will work Heat 3
Heat 2 drivers will work Heat 4
Heat 3 drivers will work Heat 1
Heat 4 drivers will work Heat 2
Every person driving in the event MUST work the event. Workers will check-in with the Chief of Workers (COW) at a designated location to receive their work assignment approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the heat. Failure to work the event without notifying the COW with a valid reason, you will be banned from participating in the next event. If this should occur a second time, you will be banned from participating in any events for the season.
Workers will change out on the fly. If you are unsure of the duties your work position entail, the COW will explain or direct you to an experienced member who can help in explaining what your work assignment will entail. Be sure to coordinate with the COW as soon as possible if there are any particular assignments that you may not be able to perform.
Car Preparation/Tech Inspection
Cars must be fully prepared before proceeding to tech.
Course Workers:
The most common work assignment, especially for novices, is course working. Course workers stand at worker stations around the course and reset cones as they get knocked over.
Radio etiquette:
TSCC assigns one experienced course-worker at each station to operate the radio and red flag. The radios used by TSCC have a delay after depressing the transmit button, and the first second or so gets cut off, so always pause before speaking. State "[pause] Control, this is Station [#]". After Control replies, key the button, pause, and call in your report. This etiquette is especially important for events at large venues where 2-3 cars are on course at once and multiple cone penalties are being assessed simultaneously. The exception to this is a red flag, which should be called immediately. When reporting penalties, always refer to the car number, not the car description.
Insurance Waiver
All competitors will be required to sign an insurance waiver upon entering the facility. Minors will need to have a minor waiver signed by both parents in order to compete or to ride along. The minimum age for riding along is 12 years.
