Driver Responsibility:
It is the Drivers and parents’ (for junior classes) responsibility to check that you are ready to race BEFORE entering the track. Helmet, neck brace, Gloves, and suit! Window net, Race receiver, and Transponder! Bonnet locked down!
- Please read your class rules. Not knowing the rules, doesn’t mean they don’t apply.
- Race Radio’s are required at all times. INCLUDING Practice!!! use Channel 2 on the Black RT Race Receiver. Radio’s are available for purchase at the track. More details
- Transponders are required to be installed, subscribed and working at all times. INCLUDING Practice. Please read THIS LINK for further details. While technically they are not required for practice as Spedeworth tracks, local rules apply here to allow to the tower to check your transponder is working and we have the correct number assigned to the driver.
Race receivers should be checked that they are on channel 2. Turning the radio on you’ll hear “Powering on. Channel Two”. If you don’t hear “Channel Two” it is wrong. Parents, teach your child to know how to check the radio is on the right channel. When the radio is on, pressing the up and down buttons at the same time (on the left side) will lock the channel change buttons. Turning the radio off will unlock this.
Roof Grading System
Win-Up Rules
Here is the Spedeworth rule:
Remember also that if you win a heat race during a meeting, you MUST start at the back of your grade for the remainder of the meeting. If you fail to do so, then you will be docked 2 places for every car that you have started ahead of. We will try to remind you when you are on the grid, but ultimately, it is the drivers’ responsibility, so don’t blame the track staff if both you and they forget!!!
If you are lucky enough to win two races in one meeting, then you are automatically upgraded to the next grade. This replaces the old “40 point rule”, which now no longer exists.
