1. All drivers must arrive at the circuit and be entered for the days racing before 8.00am.  A late fee of $5.00 may be imposed on members who enter late.  The imposing of the late fee will be at the discretion of the Race Director.  If you are going to be late owing to business or family commitments you can enter by arranging with someone to nominate for you, phoning your entry through to Peter Gately is also an option as this will avoid incurring any late fee.  This is not intended to give members a license to come late.  Abuse of the privilege will invoke the late fee.  Your co-operation in this matter would be appreciated as it causes great inconvenience to the programming of the computer.

2. The Race Director will work out with the driver a suitable radio frequency that the driver must, if possible, adhere to for future race meetings.  It is advisable for drivers not to change frequencies from one meeting to the next as this cause problems for the Race Director.  Each member should also have two (2) backup frequency available in case of frequency clashes.

7. Drivers are to refrain from leaning forward on the Drivers Stand as this obstructs other drivers view of the circuit.

TRANSMITTERS ARE TO BE SWITCHED OFF UNLESS RACING!

The frequency board is to be used at all times when drivers are not competing in race day heats.

Before turning on your radio transmitter go to the frequency board and see if there is a tag on your frequency. If tag is not present, place a tag on your frequency and then turn your radio on.

Make sure you remove transmitter tag from the board as soon as you remove your car from the track and switch your radio off.

If the frequency board is not out, you must ask ALL other drivers what frequency they are using before switching your transmitter on. 

Failure to check frequency can cause expensive damage to your car or another person’s model.

On race days when transponders are in use, you will be required to have a transponder fitted to your car.  The transponder must be mounted securely in the car and the mounting post must not be able to contact the ground should the car roll over. 

The transponder should not be mounted on any carbon fiber or metal component of the car and must have clear line of sight to the sky as we have an overhead pick-up loop.  You are required to take all care in looking after this transponder and may be liable for its replacement should it be lost or damaged/destroyed. 

All transponders must be returned to the transponder area immediately after each race!

1. Marshals are expected to remove cars from barriers. Use your shoes where possible to redirect a car or pick a car up by its body. Do not put hands under the car especially Gas cars due to heat and moving parts.

2. Drivers must marshal the heat after theirs.  Drivers who fail to carry out this duty will lose 2 laps off their best heat.

5. Minor repairs and starting may be carried out by marshals only as time permits, cars still racing must take priority over cars needing repairs. A marshal removing a damaged/stricken car from the track must convey it to the next marshal if driver wishes to make repairs in the pits.  The car must be conveyed from marshal to marshal around the outside of the track.  A car will only be conveyed if the marshal is free of his normal duties.  A marshal must show priority to cars, which are still racing.

6. Marshals, drivers and pit crew must not run across the track to convey a car to the pits. (Center Marshal excluded. But the center marshal shall not cross the main straight area of the track)

7. Marshals will only marshal a car when they are in no danger.  Marshals are not expected to put themselves at risk because a car has become stuck or incapacitated.

10. When placing a car back onto the track make sure you do not hinder any other car still racing.  Make sure the track is clear.

1. Members are expected to assist with maintenance of the complex.  Notice of working bees will given and all members are expected to attend.
