The CRA is in need of Pit Marshalls for the 3 and 5 hour endurance races to take place on August and September weekends. Volunteers will need to attend a pre-race marshal meeting, and work the entire endurance event (from flag to flag). Volunteers will get free gate entry, and free lunch.
Pit marshals will patrol the pit area, enforcing the following rules:
• Everyone in pits must have restricted area wristband on (color to be announced)
• Nothing on or over walls
o No gas cans, stands, tools, fire bottles, etc. left on wall or on pit pavement
• Ultralight riders must wear colored vest or t-shirt
• No more than 6 persons per team, including riders, are allowed over the pit wall at a time
• Pit lane speed limit is 45mph on comp course, 55mph on Donnybrooke course at all times. Speed limit to be enforced by orange cones at start and finish of pit lane.
• A rider may accelerate or decelerate up to 5 pit boxes before or after his own pit IF THEY ARE EMPTY
• Any team entering pits during ‘pit closed’ timing shall result in forfeiture of all accrued laps and immediate disqualification from event (section 14-15)
REFUELING REGULATIONS
• One crew member must be standing directly in front of the front wheel with a 10BC extinguisher at the ready
o Said crew member cannot do any other maintenance during fueling, only hold extinguisher at the ready
• While refueling, the rider must be off the motorcycle and the motorcycle must be securely supported by a mechanical stand
o Another crew member does not count as a mechanical stand.
• No other work may be performed on the motorcycle while refueling
o Cleaning windshields, checking tire pressures, or checking other fluids counts as ‘other work’, and cannot be performed while refueling
• Use of funnels or fuel caddies/fuel towers is not allowed for refueling
• Gravity feed ‘quick fill’ containers are allowed, but must have a positive shut off to prevent overfilling
