the track. Any Volunteer Marshall’s must check in with the Race
Director to receive approval to enter the track area.
All Turn Marshall’s are encouraged to wear hand and eye protection

frequency clip. The following are guidelines to be followed.
Before you start practice, you must have a frequency clip on your
radio. If you cannot find a clip and believe yours is missing, notify the
race director for verification.
You must drive from the designated drivers stand. If you enter the
track area to Marshall your own car, you can drive the car to a safe
location, park it, and then return to the designated drivers stand.
Be aware that other racers may be waiting on your frequency clip.
Please limit your time on the track to a maximum of two tanks of fuel
per session. You may run as long as you want to if you are the only
