SCHEDULE:

• Doors Open @ 10am

• Checkered Flag @ 2:45pm

FORMAT:

• Rotation positions for the first race will be random. Finish results will seed subsequent race rotation positions
• 3 minute heats (180 seconds) x 4 (lanes) for a total of 12 minutes per race
• 3 or more marshals for every heat (if numbers permit)
• Race to line result will determine finishing order

DON’T FORGET YOUR CONTROLLER!

Make sure your controller is in tip top shape and that your brakes function reliably! All R32 tracks require the use of three pole positive polarity controllers. Banana plugs are highly recommended but alligator clip hookups work just as well.
