Moving off the Public Start Grid:

When placed on the left or right side of the public start grid it is important that you move off the start grid in a manner that doesn't interfere with those who are competing in the public race. Below you will see two examples on how to move off the start grid safely. Please practice the method shown, to be sure you are comfortable with it prior to your actual race.

Moving off the Right Grid Safely:





Grid Positions:

When the start grid is clear of all cars competing in the public race, make your way to start grid positions 1 & 2 as quickly as possible. The driver who is listed on the left in the pairings will take position number 1 on the grid in the first race. In the subsequent races, the drivers will alternate the number one grid position. The driver on the right will take number one position in the second race. If a third race is required, the driver on the left will resume the first position.

Grid Position 2:

Race Start Time Rules:

The head to head race will start exactly 30 seconds after the commencement of the public race.

All drivers are solely responsible for any delay in getting to their grid position. If any driver fails to get to their grid position in due time, then the other driver has the right to commence racing at the 30 second start time.

If both drivers fail to reach their designated grid positions before the 30 second start time, then the start time will begin at 40 seconds after the start of the public race.
