FLAGS

Green Flag

Go! The race has started. Waving after the race has started indicates that the race is still in progress and there are no issues further down the track.

Yellow Flag

Caution! There is something to be aware of ahead of you on or just off the track. Do not pass any rider when the yellow flag is shown. Keep your position until you can no longer see a yellow flag at flag points. If you are found to be overtaking under the yellow flag, you will be point scored in last position.

Red Flag

The red flag indicates that there is a major problem on the track. Come to a stop as quickly and safely as possible, put up a warning hand if at all possible to indicate to the riders behind that you are stopping. Return to the pit grid slowly and safely.

Blue Flag

The blue flag is used to let a slower rider know that there is a faster rider about to overtake them. It will be pointed at the slower rider to avoid confusion. The slower rider should NEVER alter their chosen course or brake to get out of the way of the overtaking rider. Just be aware of the situation.

Black Flag

The black flag is used to indicate that an individual rider is having a problem, most likely mechanical but possibly in their conduct on the track. The black flag is pointed at the rider in question to reduce confusion. The rider who receives the black flag should finish the lap they are on and come into the pit area where a track official will inform them of the problem. If a rider ignores a black flag they may be expelled from the race or practice session with no pints accrued.

White Flag

This flag indicates that there is one lap remaining in the race.

Chequered Flag

Congratulations! The race has successfully ended. Please complete one final cool down lap at a reduced speed and exit the track at the designated area.

Control your temper. Verbal and physical abuse of officials or other competitors and deliberately provoking other is not acceptable or permissible behavior.

Treat all competitors as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take advantage of another participant.

Avoid the use of coarse or derogatory language.

Compete within your skill levels. Only try to extend these skills when there is no likelihood of danger to others ands personal risk is controlled.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------






Our inaugural race series will be named, 'Summer Race Series'.

It will be a 6 Round Series. Rnd 1 commences on the 1st March.

Pricing is $50 for Adults. $35 for kids. Also must have an AASA License, $55/yearly or $20/each meet.

Minimoto riders can ride in as many Minimoto classes as they wish.

If say a Minimoto rider also wants to ride motard, then he/she will be required to pay double. Same goes if a scooter rider wishes to ride motard.

Riders do not have to feel the need to compete if they don't wish, any rider can still ride in qualifying, heats and the final just for 'track experience(just can't stop on track or ride in a manner that would endanger others). Your experience on track is what you make of it.

Trophy's and certificates will be awarded to the place getters.

Please make sure you read and fully understand all that is put in front of you.

The main track is also going to be in use with a car meet, it will be a very big day. Make sure that anyone for the 'Small Wheels Racing' events, specify that to a gate attendant if you are stopped.

See you all there !!!!!
