Passing Rules
ALL passing must be done only with a point-by from the lead car!!
ALL passing must be initiated and completed when both cars traveling
in a straight line and both drivers’ steering wheels are straight.
Drivers unhappy with the point-bys that they are or are not getting
from slower cars always have the option to pit and ask for space.
Students should not feel pressured by faster drivers -- everyone is
learning.
Drivers must monitor and obey flags/track conditions. Perception
of unsafe behavior will result in loss of pass-anywhere privileges (at
sole discretion of control/event organizers).
Subject to the rules above, advanced and instructor groups may pass
anywhere.
Suject to the rules above, novice and intermediate groups may pass
in the following zones.
T6A to T7 (bridge straight): Passing on driver's LEFT. Passing car
moves off line (to the LEFT) to pass. The car being passed stays to
the RIGHT. Pass should be completed in time for easy on-line entry to
the uphill esses.
T12 to T14 (back straight): Passing on driver's LEFT. The car being
passed safely completes T12 and moves full track RIGHT -- passing car
stays track LEFT and waits for car being passed to move aside and
point. Passes should be completed before cresting the hill on the
back straight whenever possible.
T17A to T1 (front straight): Passing on driver's RIGHT. The car
being passed remains track LEFT. The passing car moves off-line (to
the RIGHT) to pass. Drivers must watch for cars entering the track
from pit lane. Passes should be completed before pit out whenever
possible.
Passengers:
Passengers on the track are allowed only with the knowledge and permission of the organizers. The ability to take a passenger on track is a revocable privilege, not a right. It is expected that instructors and solo advanced students (after lunch on the first day) will be the only people approved to take passengers. Absolutely NO devices such as cameras, etc. to be held by passenger or driver while on course. All such equipment to be firmly fastened/secured to inside of vehicle.
