RACE START PROCEDURE:

- When the track is clear and starter and corner marshals are in place,
the race director or
another official will signal for the racers to start their warm up laps.
The green lights will
be on during warm up laps.
- When warm up laps are complete, the red lights will be turned on. All
riders will stop at
the starting grid.

lap from the finishing
results.

complete and the
red light is on, are not permitted to race in that event.

arise. One mechanic may help the rider with permission of the race director.

track as far as the pit
wall.

hands are seen the
starter will give the all clear signal to the flag person, and leave the
track.

on or around
the racetrack is grounds for disqualification at the discretion of the
race director.

is to move the bike to a
safe area where it will not obstruct/endanger other riders.
