we are not a babysitting service for adults and shouldn't  have to remind someone to do the right thing.

On track race decisions rest with OUR FLAGMAN or other on track Official, in case of a dispute by an Official FLAGMAN has the final CALL!

 Dennis Harker (track owner) will be present at the track on most nights and his function is to see  the safety  and well being of the patrons.

Limited No Fault Spin Out & Stoppage Rule:

Any  Kart that spins out or stops on the track at other than at direction from a Track Official or at the exit area between turns 3 and 4 will automatically go to the rear.   

 

With FOUR (4) exceptions:

1. At the start of the race when a lap has not been completed.      

2. When it is without question by Track Officials that a driver has maliciously and intentionally spun out another driver

 (if it IS TOTALlY without question the offender goes to the rear, if not the car that spins or stops goes to the rear)                                                        

3. We protect the leader at all times, if the leader is spun out by contact from another car they do not go to the rear.      

 Green Valley Speedway reserves the exclusive right in any of the beginner type class to relax this rule in order to allow the younger race a chance to race

 and enjoy their experience on the track.  If you are 16 and older you are not a beginner, so act your age.

 

Starting Races & Restarts

The Flagman waves the  GREEN FLAG and lights the green lights to signal we are ready to start the race on this lap however,

the  Leader should not fire until they get to the white chalk line between turn 4 & the Flagstand. 

After a caution, we go back to the last completed Green Flag Lap for the Lineup.

bear in mind that this may not agree with what you see on the track as far a position of cars when the caution immediately comes out!

JUMPING A START OR RESTART, THE FIRST TIME YOU JUMP, YOU GO BACK ONE SPOT (NO WARNING)  IF YOU JUMP A SECOND TIME  YOU GO TO THE REAR
