THERE IS NO RACING PERMITTED AT THE EVENT. SAFETY MARSHAL & INSTRUCTORS WILL BE MONITORING ALL DRIVERS ON THE TRACK AND IN THE PADDOCK. IF DRIVING IN AN UNSAFE MANNER IS OBSERVED OR THE TRACK RULES ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED, SUCH DRIVERS WILL BE ASKED YOU TO LEAVE THE TRACK. IF REPEATED WARNINGS ARE IGNORED, POLE POSITION TRACK EXPERIENCE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE VENUE. POOR OFF-TRACK BEHAVIOR AND FAILURE TO HEED THE MARSHAL’S DIRECTIONS MAY ALSO RESULT IN A PREMATURE ENDING OF YOUR TRACK DAY. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A FUN AND EXHILARATING TRACK DAY AND WE DO THIS BY STRESSING SAFETY ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE!

• Tap on their tail section: Move-in directly behind me and follow my line
• Slash across throat: Pit immediately
• Arm waving past: OK to pass now
• Arm moving up and down: Slow down

There will be corner workers positioned at strategic points around the track to monitor for potential hazards.  Should any situation occur, they will be armed with flags (and radios-if you are monitoring the track frequency)to alert you of any hazards. It is the driver’s/rider’s responsibility to know what the race flags mean and to observe the corner workers.  Corner workers are essential to a safe experience. The track marshal oversees all activity on the track and is responsible for maintaining a safe environment. What he says, goes.
