3. The Race Director’s decision as bound by these rules is final, and there is no appeal from the Race Director’s

MARSHALLING:

1. All entrants are required to marshal one race in each level of competition in which they compete. eg. consie,

quarter final, semi final.

2. Entrants must marshal the semi/quarter/heat/consie after their own in each level of competition.

3. Entrants from the last semi/quarter/heat/consie in each level will marshal the first

semi/quarter/heat/consie in that level.

4. Entrants in semi finals who are eliminated will marshal the final.

5. Entrants may nominate a substitute marshal only if the substitute is acceptable to all drivers in the race they

are marshalling.

6. Substitute marshals will be appointed for disabled drivers.

DUTIES OF MARSHALS:

1. Clear the track of deslotted or malfunctioning cars.

2. Replace deslotted cars in the correct lanes without interfering with other cars.

3. Move cars away from glue areas during Track Calls - Wing cars only

4. Marshals will not perform repairs other than straightening braids and minor body straightening.

5. Marshals will occupy the position assigned to them by the Race Controller and perform their duties in an

acceptable manner.

SOME COMMENTS ON MARSHALLING:

Good marshalling is essential for good racing.

The first duty of a marshal is to keep the track clear for racers who are not deslotting.

If deslotted cars are cleared quickly then the incidence of large "pile ups" is greatly reduced and the job of

both marshals and racers is more enjoyable.

When replacing multiple deslotted cars marshals should attempt to replace the car that caused the incident

last.

CONTROLLERS AND DRIVING:

1. Any controller device may be used as long as it does not increase the voltage or available amperage to the

track.

2. The Race Director/Controller may inspect controllers at his/her discretion.

3. Any device that is found to interfere with the track computer system will be excluded from the raceway.

4. Only the entered driver may operate any device which controls their car on the track.

5. Drivers must not have outside assistance in the operation of controllers and chokes or any related devices.

6. Drivers must occupy the appropriate position at the drivers’ panel whilst racing. Special consideration will be

given to Disabled drivers.

7. Only drivers competing in the current race will be allowed at the drivers’ panel.

PENALTIES:

1. If required, the Race Director will apply penalties for rule infractions.

2. Penalties may range from warnings to laps deducted to exclusions from the event according to the severity

of the offence.

3. Any deliberate rule infraction contrived to gain a performance advantage will result in exclusion from the

class.

BLACK FLAG:

1. The Race Controller will demand the removal from the track of any car which is dragging on the track,

interfering with other cars, or continually deslotting.

2. Any car that cannot complete a lap without deslotting will be black flagged.

3. The car may be repaired and returned to the track once repaired.

4. If the problem continues, the black flag will be enforced again.

TRACK CALLS:

The Race Controller may initiate a Track Call if he/she considers it necessary to maintain fair racing conditions.

Track Calls may be initiated in the following circumstances or in other unforeseen circumstances at the

discretion of the Race Controller.

1. Rider - automatic or manual

2. Cars off in main straight or bank

3. A marshal has too many cars to cope with.

4. A marshal not in position.

5. Recovery of car not possible whilst racing continues - unmarshalable car

6. Recovery of car will take an unreasonable amount of time.

7. Track fault.

8. During a track call there must be no work done on cars although braid straightening may be allowed at the

discretion of the Race Controller.

9. The Race Controller must ensure that work on cars in the pits is halted during a track call and may appoint

marshals to monitor the pit areas.

LAP COUNTER:

1. The lap counter will be deemed to be correct unless it can be proven otherwise.

2. If the lap counter is proven to be incorrect the Race Controller may take whatever action he/she deems

necessary to maintain fair racing conditions and preserve as much of the completed racing as possible.

3. Actions may include – adding/subtracting laps, applying an average for a segment, re-running part or all of a

race or races.

4. Where an average is to be applied the average will be calculated by adding together the total laps for the

other seven lanes, subtracting the best and worst lanes totals and then divide by five. i.e. ((Sum 7 lanes)-(Sum

best & worst))/5. The formula may be adjusted for tracks with less than eight lanes.

TRACK FAULTS:

1. Where a Track Fault (e.g. braid up, debris in slot) results in an entrant being disadvantaged the Race

Controller may take whatever action he/she deems necessary to maintain fair racing conditions.

2. Such action may include – adjusting laps totals, allow the entrant time to repair damage to a car or

controller.

3. Where an entrant is permitted to make repairs the Race Controller will inspect the car and advise the

entrant as to what repairs are permitted. Damaged controllers may be replaced.

GLUING:

1. Traction compounds may only be used in classes denoted as "Glue Classes"

2. Traction compounds may only be applied before racing and during lane changes.

4. Traction compounds may be applied to the track in the designated zones and may only be spread around

corners with glue spudger/rollers, etc.
