still open for suggestions.

Pointers on Racer etiquette, and just things to know:

• Be respectful of others in your language, attitude and driving.
• Never criticize a turn marshal.
• Do not handle other people's equipment without permission at anytime, stay away from a drivers pit if they are not present.
• If and when holding cars never ever-ever touch the tires.
• During practice sessions you should drive reserved, keep a good distance from other cars on the track.
• Strive to pass or be passed cleanly always ;-)
• Do not stop your car anywhere on the track that it may be liable to a collision from on-coming traffic on the track. There will be an established area on the track for drop-off / pick-up.
• If you wreck, don't reverse into oncoming traffic, wait for traffic to pass before backing up from the rail, re-join without causing a collision with others.
• Come prepared (nobody likes a mooch).
• Be ready for your race or heat, nobody should have to wait to race.
• When turn marshalling, always give right away to the racers running, never stand on track surface, use the edges, try to stay out of drivers views best as possible, and move at a controllable speed !!!…we don’t want a turn marshal to fall down and causing injury to themselves, cars, or the track…
• It is important to acknowledge when you unintentionally bash other racers.
• If you have stopped or crashed in the straight away for some reason…call out “straightaway” to warn others that your car is there.
• When you experience mechanical problems, you should have your car pulled off the coarse…if you are intent on staying out for any reason you should not affect any others race in anyway.
• Never walk in-between the driverstand and the track during practice or racing. This is no mans land! Always enter & leave driverstand from behind drivers.
