- Be prepared to pay if you make contact with the timing equipment ($100 whether it’s lights or cables)
Course Basics and Penalties:
- Corner captains are in charge of their corners – they should be holding the red flag and the radio and make sure all their corner workers know what they are doing
- Radios – call in your station, the car, and the penalty, and make sure you get an acknowledgement from course control
- Red flags - hold it furled, not rolled, flag cars if you see something dangerous, make sure they see you (but don’t get in front of the car!), go tell the driver what’s up and what to do next
- Familiarize yourself with the cones and where they are supposed to go when you go out to work course
- No sitting down, talking on cell phones, texting or taking pictures on course
- Watch the cones, not the cars
- Go over cone penalties and penalty signals (DO NOT place cones in a box with an X)
- If the cone wiggles, check it and make sure it’s centered in the box. Signal to your station’s radio person (cone, gate, or no penalty gesture) and make sure he/she sees you
Wrapping up
- If you are running first your car should be in grid with your timing card on the windshield
- If you have a dual-driver car, line up in the far left lane of grid (both timing cards on the windshield)
- If you are working first please check in at the timing van before heading to your work assignment
