I am proposing to make the 5-minute warning a specific time instead of a vague guess.
Section 707 E/C pages 27 & 28
Current 2010 verbage to be altered:
“…. The 5-minute warning cannot be given earlier than 5 minutes before the scheduled race start unless stated in the Race Event Supplemental Regulations and published in the race schedule. …”
Proposed addition:
“ … The 5-minute warning cannot be given earlier than 5 minutes before the scheduled race start unless stated in the Race Event Supplemental Regulations and published in the race schedule. If the 5-minuted warning is not to be given 5-minutes prior to the scheduled race time, then the specific set amount of time prior to the race start must be published in the Supplemental Regulations and the race schedule. (eg. “ The 5-minute warning will be given 8 minutes prior to the scheduled race start.”) …”
