DRIVER’S MEETING: There will be a REQUIRED driver’s meeting each morning. See the schedule for the time.

PASSENGERS: Only permitted during the first session on Saturday’s Pace Lap Session.

STOPPING ON COURSE: If for any reason a driver is forced to stop his car on the course during an event, it should be his first duty to place his car in such a manner as to cause no danger or obstruction to other competitors.

PADDOCK: Competitors may park anywhere west of the tower except the paved area at the north end where cars enter the track from the False Grid. The paddock is a “cold” area and is open to spectators.

FALSE GRID: Competitors should proceed to the false grid before their track sessions. Listen to the PA to be called to the false grid. It is the responsibility of the competitor to keep track of sessions and when they should proceed to the false grid. The false grid is considered a “hot” area.
