The first statement should be read, and re read if you have any doubts! Hate to hammer on this, but you know, sometimes we don't listen so well.
THIS IS A RACE, and you are expected to conduct yourselves as you would at the track.
IF YOU TREAT IT AS BUMPER CARS, YOU, THE DRIVER, CAN BE YANKED FROM THE RACE, AND IF YOUR TEAM CONTINUES THAT BEHAVIOUR, YOUR TEAM CAN BE YANKED There, got that out of the way.
So we do not have 60 people lining up at two computer terminals Friday and Saturday, please get everyone registered using this link: http://www.speedsheettiming.com/AKOlympia/register.aspx

The 6 Heuers of Kartrrera PanOlympia
A worker appreciation indoor kart racing enduro.
Saturday, February 7th from 9:00am to 3:00pm
• Maximum of 10 teams
• Event held at Apex Karting Center, Tumwater, WA.
• $600 entry fee per team
• Six members per team.
• Apex Karting rules apply to all participants, in addition, specific Kartrrera PanOlympia Endurance Series rules shall apply.
• All Drivers must arrive 1 hour before the start of racing and attend the Drivers meeting. Drivers that fail to attend the Drivers meeting will not be allowed to race.
• All Drivers must sign Apex Karting liability waiver
• Kart assignment will be determined by random drawing at the end of the drivers meeting. Requests for specific karts will not be entertained.
• Starting position will be determined by a five lap qualifying race held 10 minutes prior to the start of the race. Best time will be pole position. Qualifying Driver will be determined by team vote. Once the qualifying race is complete, the drivers will be stopped on the race track and directed into the pit lane in the qualifying order. The qualifying driver does not have to be the driver that starts the race. There will be an opportunity for a change of drivers between qualifying and the start of the race.
• A mandatory driver’s change will occur at the ½ hour and on the hour. Optional driver’s changes will be allowed at the quarter hours. Driver’s changes will be indicated by waving the White Flag.
• All teams will pit and race will be halted at each two hour mark for re-fueling of all karts. Racing will be stopped on the track and the teams will be directed into the pits in the current position order. After refueling, teams will change karts: the team in 1st place will take the kart of the team in 10th place; the team in 2nd will take the kart of the team in 9th and so on. This puts the team in 10th place at the pole for the start of the second half of the race. This also eliminates any advantage due to differences in kart performance.
• Refueling will take place outside in accordance with local Fire Marshal regulations. One kart at a time will drive through the garage and out to the fueling area. Once fueled, the kart will be driven back through the garage and then to the end of the pit lane that they came from.
• There will be two types of penalty for contact: a 15 second rev limiter penalty and an open black flag stop and go penalty. A rolled up black flag warns of unsportsmanlike conduct. Continued unsportsmanlike conduct could result in disqualification of the driver or team. The type of penalty will be determined by the Pit Boss and will be based on a judgment call of the severity and flagrance of the contact or behavior. REPEATED INTENTIONAL CONTACT MAY RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF THE DRIVER OR TEAM.
• Only two karts may be in the pit area at any one time during driver changes. Any kart entering the pit area while two karts are there shall be required to serve a mandatory 15 second rev limiter penalty. That penalty will be assessed when the new driver exits the chicane. If a driver enter the pit while another kart is already in the pit, the driver’s change may not begin until the first kart has exited the pit area.
• The yellow line at the front of the pit lane is a “Do Not Cross Line”. Teams crossing this line while coming into the pits for a driver’s change will be assessed a 15 second penalty when the new driver exits the chicane.
• Replacement karts will be available for mechanical failures. Drivers will indicate a mechanical failure by raising their hand. If they can continue to drive the kart they will pull into the pits to exchange karts. If they cannot continue, they should pull to the side of the track and stop. A full course caution (with all karts on the rev limiter) will be instituted while the kart is replaced. Once a kart is pulled from a race for a mechanical failure it will not return to racing except as a replacement kart if repairs can be made in a timely manner.
• Position lost due to mechanical failure will not be restored.
• Should all replacement karts be exhausted, any team experiencing a mechanical failure will be finished racing and their position in the race will be determined by the number of laps completed.
• All Drivers should report to the pit area at least 5 minutes prior to their time to drive, all Drivers must check in with the Pit Boss prior to getting in kart.
• Spectators will not be allowed in the pit area while any karts are on the track.
• No more than one driver shall be allowed over pit wall at any one time for any team.
• Each team shall be issued one neck brace. That neck brace must be shared by all drivers on the team.
• All karts will be held in the pit during Driver changes by the Pit Boss until seat belt is fastened and neck brace is put on.
• Drivers leaving the pit area after Driver changes shall be responsible to enter the race track only when safe and clear of other karts. Any Driver entering the track in an unsafe manner shall be subject to a mandatory 15 second rev limiter penalty.
• No beverages will be allowed in the track or pit area during race time. No Driver will be allowed to consume any alcoholic beverage while karts are on the track. Any Driver found to be drinking prior to the end of his driving activities shall be disqualified immediately.
