1.
It
is best to register your car the week before you intend
to compete although not mandatory. Go to the MCM office
(second floor in grandstand offices). Tell the MCM staff
member on hand that you are ready to begin racing. Fill
out the forms you receive, remember-minors will need
additional special forms. Upon payment of registration,
you will be assigned a number for your race car.
2.
On
the day you are ready to race, enter the fairgrounds at
the “5 points” gate at the corner of Craighead and
Bransford (on Sundays during flea market weekends, the
gate on Craighead will be open) and then proceed to the
“Pit Shack” and register for the night. Prior to every
race event it is necessary to secure a “Pit
Pass” for entry. You must
read and sign the “waiver and release”. You may take a
waiver and release form with you to read at any time.
Proceed to your reserved pit stall or the area of the
pits designated for your type of race car, the gate man
will be able to show and tell you where.
Some teams/divisions will be required to park in
the back pit area due to the lack of space inside the
track.
3.
If this is your first time racing at the
Motorplex in 2008, please take your car to the tech
inspection area designated for your division (1/4 mile
divisions in rear pit lot beside the tunnel and the
NASCAR divisions inside the ¼ mile track).
Locate the race line-up board. It is on the ¼
trackside of the Competition office. It is from this
board that the line-ups and the order of races are
posted.
4.
Now... It’s time to Hot Lap. Get in your car, get
ready to race - belts, helmet, and uniform in place -
proceed to pit road with your division and follow the
instructions of the official. Never enter the racing
surface without authority.
It is currently the procedure to pull to the
inside groove of the track and take several slow laps
familiarizing yourself with the track. When you feel
ready, and green light and flag are shown, speed-up and
move into the upper grooves.***NOTE: AT ALL TIMES WHILE
ON THE TRACK - BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU -
WATCH THE FLAGMAN, THE CONTROL SIGNALS, AND THE TRAFFIC.
5.
Attend the Drivers Meeting.
The meeting is held inside the ¼ mile track and
is required for all drivers.
Spotters for the 5/8 mile divisions are also
required to attend.
Listen and pay attention.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
6.
After hot laps, return to your pit and wait for
your division to be called for your qualifying or
feature race as posted on the line-up board. It is your
responsibility to be ready to race when your division is
scheduled - YOU WILL NOT BE CALLED INDIVIDUALLY.
If your division is qualifying, if will have 15
minutes to get into line once your division is called
up.
7.
THE BIG MOMENT...One thing we can’t tell you is
how to race so do your best but remember the following
items. Watch the flagman...Know
what the flags mean...be
alert and be aware...and GOOD LUCK! Have Respect for the
track and other’s property.
8.
Read the rule book, know all the rules, have fun,
and if you don’t know...ASK!
