TRACK & PADDOCK ETIQUETTE AND RULES

• Riders Meeting Attendance is MANDATORY. This is where we will review the rules of the track, the flag meanings, and relay any important information. No riders meeting, no track!
• NEVER apex Turn 1 on your Out Lap. You may apex Turn 1 on your flying laps.
• Ride predictably. Riding consistently will allow for a safer day for everyone on the track. This will allow others to pass you safely and for you to pass others safely.
• Pass at the comfort of who you are passing. This is not a race, this is an opportunity for all attendees to become better riders. In general, offer a wingspan of space between you and the person you are passing. Do not cross lines – this could lead to dangerous situations for you or the rider you are passing. If you mess up, find the rider in the pits afterwards and apologize!
• Ride your ride and don’t look backwards. It is the responsibility of the rider behind to pass you safely.
• If exiting, throttle down and hand up after Turn 12. Then, keep right on the track at a manageable speed before exiting after Turn 15. You cannot change your mind – once you have signalled you are exiting the track, you MUST exit the track.
• Helmets are required if riding in the paddock.
• Speed limit is 15km per hour in the paddock.
• All dogs must be on leash. Your furry friend is allowed in the pits, but please keep them on leash and clean up after your pet.
• Keep your space clean. Before, after, and during the event, please be courteous to the Venue and keep your pit tidy. Please use the garbage bins provided.
