Staging Duty Procedures

Staging Duty Procedures

When you are on staging duty, you control which cars are allowed onto the track, in accordance with the guidelines set out below. If you have ANY doubt as to whether a given car should be allowed out, call the tower for a decision.

The tower will keep you advised (by two-way radio) or the Track communication system of what is happening on the track, will let you know when the checkered flag is out, and will give you the signal to let the cars out onto the track one by one. The track is then a HOT TRACK – NOBODY is allowed across the track except between runs and with the permission of the tower.

When the cars are in staging please check:

1. Cars should be grouped in two lines with space between them to allow vehicular access to the owner’s paddock. No cars should be parked in the staging area.
2. The car is in the appropriate run group.
3. Both windows are rolled down.
4. Sunroofs, Targa and convertible tops, and hoods and rear lids are closed.
5. There is nothing loose in the car.
6. The numbers on the car are legible.
7. The tires have enough tread for traction in the wet.
8. If a car has two occupants, one must be an instructor (check bracelet).
Instructors may take passenger out in other groups with permission.
Two people are permitted out in the Red run group only if both are instructors.
9. Car occupants have on long sleeved shirts (not rolled up) and long pants.
10. Car occupants have their helmets on
