*Always
attend riders meeting!
`If you do not attend the riders meeting
you are violating our saftey rules. We cover very important safety issues and you put yourself as well as others at risk if
you do not get this information.
`Always pay attention to where
you are entering and exiting the track. No one should ever cut the track for any reason even on practice days. No going up
the sides of jumps and absolutley no transferring from
one section to another. This is a very risky action and will not be tolerated.
`Riders must know what each flag
means. The green flag during a race is shown at the finish line on the first lap of any race. This means
the race has officially started and there will not be a re-start.
The Yellow, or caution flag is shown
when a rider is down or there is a saftey issue in a certain area on the track. Riders are to SLOW DOWN and
only assume race speeds after being clear of the cautioned area. No jumping, no passing and no accelerated
speeds in caution areas. When a rider is down flags will be waving clearly before entering the area where the rider is down.
If there is a slick spot or something we are trying to make the riders aware of flags will be displayed but not in the air
waving. This is a rare occasion but through this type of caution riders may keep speeds but we recommend using caution in
these areas. Riders who violate any rule that is posted and discussed at the riders meeting will be disqualified for that
particular moto. If a rider violates this rule a second time I will come talk to you myself and other actions will be taken.
Your saftey is of the utmost importance to all of us here at D Track and we will let no one sacrifice the saftey of others.
White flag means you've got 1
lap to make any desisions about passing or getting passed and of coarse the checkered flag means your race is over. Red flag means...you guessed it the race has been stopped. A race is red flagged when a large percentage of
racers go down on the start or in the first turn. This will be dispayed at the finish line and everyone should get back into
the same gate and we'll do it all again. Red flag is also shown at the exit point after a race is over.
The black flag is one not often used. But if you see it you've done something really wrong or your machine has become a saftey
hazard. Hopefully we won't have to use this one.
*How the starting process goes:
*Come to the left side of the starting
gate when it is time for your class to run. Listen for your number to be called. All classe run 2 races called moto's. When
your called to the line on your first moto this is a computer picked order. First number called out gets first gate pick (his
or her choice of starting positions) and so on. On your second moto this order will be in the finishing order of your first
moto. You will be at the starting gate, near
the first turn you will see a person with a board with a #2. This person is called the starter. They will point to each rider
at the gate and you are to either tell him by nodding, that your ready or get your hand up high to signal you have a problem.
If you do have a problem (usually fouled plug) we will give you a small amount of time to get it fixed. When everyone is ready
the starter will flip the board to the #1 then a few seconds it will turn sideways. Seconds after going sideways the gate
will drop so be ready!
