DRIVERS AND INSTRUCTORS MEETINGS:

A. These meetings are mandatory for all participants, no exceptions or excuses. If you do not attend, you will be required to speak with the Track Chair and/or Chief Instructor prior to going out on track.

B. Driver Meeting : this meeting will be conducted by the Track Chair and a Chief Instructor. Event logistics and track procedures will be discussed. You are responsible for knowing all the communicated information including:

Track entry and exit procedures Track condition Flagging procedures Event or schedule changes

Track-specific regulations and requirements

Paddock procedures Social activities

C. Students Meeting(Green,Yellow and Blue groups) : this meeting follows the Drivers Meeting and will be conducted by the Track Chair or a Chief Instructor. Instructor assignments will be verified. Discussion will be held on student driver topics and questions will be answered.

D. Instructors Meeting : This meeting will be conducted by a Chief Instructor. In addition to information covered at the driver meeting, attendance will be taken to verify student coverage, and any necessary substitutions or changes will be made. Instructors are responsible for arranging student coverage if they are unavailable for any particular run or have to leave the event early.

GENERAL EVENT INFORMATION:

Driver Education will afford you the opportunity to develop your driving skill in the relatively safe environment of a race track. IT IS NOT A RACE DRIVING SCHOOL, NOR IS IT PRACTICE FOR RACING. All drivers participating are expected to drive well within their capabilities. Drivers who appear, to an event official, to be “pushing too hard” or driving in an unsafe manner, will be called in.

NNJR SPIN POLICY: A spin is defined as either rotation of the vehicle more than 90 degrees from its intended direction, 2 or more wheels off of the track surface, or contact with anything. If you spin, you are to immediately proceed to the pits and see the Chief Instructor to discuss the occurrence. After a spin, you are on probation for the remainder of the event, and if you incur a second spin your driving priviledges may be suspended or revoked for the balance of the event at the discretion of the Chief Instructors. Additionally, incidents involving contact will be reviewed by the Chief Instructors and may result in probation or exclusion from future events.

EVENT OPERATING PROCEDURE: Each driver will be assigned to a “run group” based on his/her track driving experience. Instructors are assigned to each driver in Green, Yellow and Blue for each day of the event.

We require that instructors drive all students’ Porsches for the first two laps of the first run in all run groups. This is to allow an experienced Porsche driver to evaluate the driving condition of your Porsche, both for safety and to aid in instructing.

Entrants assume all risk of damage to their Porsche during the event. This includes the times when an instructor is driving your Porsche. Because you are assuming the risk, it is your right to be satisfied with the manner in which the instructor drives your Porsche.

If, after discussion with your instructor regarding any apprehension you may have with his/her driving or instructing technique, you are still not satisfied, you may ask the Chief Instructor to assign you to another instructor.

Although not all entrants are required to work with an instructor, everyone is encouraged to make use of the instructors’ experience and skills.

STAGING:All entrants should listen for their run group to be called on the PA system. Entrants should also note the times listed on the daily schedule: run times are usually very close to those posted. When your run group is called, or 5-10 minutes before your session (not sooner) drive your car slowly to the staging area. It is very important that all drivers line up promptly. Begin to look for your instructor as soon as you are in the staging area or make prior arrangements to meet your instructor in the paddock. However, note that your instructor may be on the track driving or instructing in the group immediately prior to yours. Do not proceed to pit out until signaled to do so.

PIT OUT - ENTERING THE TRACK: Track entry is only upon instruction by the pit out steward. To enter the track properly, proceed briskly and be sure to look in your mirros and down the track for oncoming traffic. STAY INSIDE THE BLEND LINE OR TO THE SIDE OF THE TRACK THAT YOU ENTERED UNTIL THE TRACK IS CLEAR! Blend line violators will be black flagged.

PIT IN - EXITING THE TRACK: At the conclusion of a session (run group), the checkered flag will be displayed. After receiving the checkered flag, proceed to pit-in cooling your brakes and engine, slow down and enter pit lane at or below the pit lane speed limit.

FLAGS: It is your responsibility to identify the location of the flag stations. Flag stations are your primary source of information about track conditions immediately in front of your car while you are running. Become familiar with their location and with the meaning of each flag. See the attached description of flags and their uses.

PASSING:Passing is permitted on designated portions of the track only. Passing is not permitted in the corners. The driver of the car being overtaken MUST SIGNAL with his/her hand by pointing to the side on which the faster car is to pass. DO NOT TAILGATE. The obligation for a safe passing maneuver falls primarily on the passing car, but the car being passed should never do anything unexpected to interfere. Be aware of what is going on behind you as well as in front. USE YOUR MIRRORS. Do not block faster cars. We use expanded passing in the red run group and, frequently but not always, in the black run group.

DRIVER RECOMMENDATIONS IN CASE OF TROUBLE: If you make a mistake and lose control of your Porsche, the best general rule is to engage maximum brake effort until you are completely stopped. If you see you are going to run off the track and if you still have control, DRIVE OFF STRAIGHT. Do not attempt to hold your Porsche on the track, or to bring it back onto the track. Your chances of escaping unscathed by driving off under control are MUCH better.

DISABLED VEHICLES:If your car becomes disabled or you have an incident on the track, REMAIN IN YOUR CAR UNLESS THERE IS FIRE OR YOU ARE INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE BY THE CORNER WORKER. You are generally much safer in your car than if you get out. If you are O.K. and do not need medical assistance, signal likewise to the corner worker e.g., a ‘thumbs-up’ or similar. This will avoid dispatching the ambulance unnecessarily and potentially delaying the event. If you need a tow vehicle, you can make a ‘tugging’ motion to indicate this. Do not remove your helmet.

PASSENGERS: If there are two persons in a car, one of those persons MUST be an NNJR approved instructor, and the other person MUST be a properly registered Entrant. NO EXCEPTIONS. Failure to abide by this ruling is grounds for dismissal from the event. Insurance regulations require this - please cooperate.

PADDOCK: The paddock speed limit is 5 MPH. Paddock traffic is one-way only, counter-clockwise. Take particular care of pedistrians crossing the road between the tower and the paddock.

PIT LANE:

Pit lane speed limit is 30 MPH. Please monitor your speed when entering and exiting the pits.

SOUND: This is a muffled event. Per the contract with Lime Rock, cars that exceed noise limits (81 dB) will be black-flagged and given an opportunity to correct. Any vehicle which receives two black flags in one day will not be allowed back on track.

TRACK DAMAGE: Any car causing any damage to track facilities or equipment will be required to pay a predetermined amount of money immediately, or the amount of damage, whichever is greater.

TRACK CLEAN-UP: No car parts, tires, batteries, etc. may be left behind in the paddock. Lime Rock will charge a $200 (or greater) disposal fee which will be billed to the responsible participant. Fluid wastes must be placed in approved disposal containers located in various locations in the paddock and never on the ground.

ATTIRE: Long-sleeve shirts and long pants are required by Lime Rock. No open shoes (e.g. sandals).

BIKES, SCOOTERS, SKATEBOARDS, PETS, ETC. are not permitted in the pits (where cars are staged). While permitted in other areas of the paddock, you are responsible to ensure that all proper safety gear is worn, in compliance with state law. Please caution anyone attending with you, especially children, to avoid all traffiked areas.

SAFETY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE EVENT - Anyone deemed to be conducting themselves or their vehicle in an unsafe manner, either on or off the track, is subject to suspension for the balance of the event.

NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OF ANY TYPE may be consumed by any person until the driving schedule has been completed (5:00 p.m. daily). The use of any ILLEGAL OR REFLEX AFFECTING DRUGS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Flag Descriptions and Uses - Get to know them!

GREEN FLAG: Track is open and the course is clear. If no flag is displayed at a station, this is a green condition

YELLOW FLAG: Stationary - There is a potential hazard near or on the track ahead of you. You must exercise caution until you pass a clear flag station. Slow down. Passing is not allowed while the yellow flag is displayed. NOTE: This flag will also be displayed for the first lap of each run group’s first run. (No passing until green!)

Waving - There is a hazard immediately in front of you. It will require you to alter your course or take evasive action. Immediately slow down and be prepared to take appropriate action as necessary. Be aware of the cars around you as you do this

YELLOW/RED STRIPED FLAG:

This striped flag indicates a surface condition – take care. It indicates that a slippery condition exists or that debris is present on the course. This could be rocks from a previous car’s off-track excusion, oil, coolant, or a random part. This flag is displayed standing.

BLACK FLAG: If directed at your car: There is something wrong with your car or your driving. Immediately pull into the pits and see an Event Official. If stationary at more than one station: all cars are to pull into the pits at their first opportunity. No passing is allowed under black.

MECHANICAL BLACK:

At some tracks, you will see this flag used in place of a black flag when something is mechanically wrong with your car. Immediately pull into the pits and see an Event Official.

BLUE FLAG: When pointed at you, this flag indicates that there are faster cars behind you that should be allowed to pass. Check your mirrors and signal them ahead at the next authorized passing area.

WHITE FLAG: On the racetrack, this means that an ambulance, service vehicle, or slow moving car (e.g. with mechanical trouble) is on the circuit. Take care.

RED FLAG: Something affecting the safety of the event has occurred. Stop quickly and safely by moving to the edge of the

track surface, OFF THE DRIVING LINE, AND WITHIN SIGHT OF A FLAGGER. Be mindful of the cars around you. Do not drive around to see the cause of the flag signal. Remain stopped with your car until directed to proceed by a flag station.

CHECKERED FLAG: The run group is over. No passing. Proceed around the track more slowly, cool engine and brakes, return to paddock.
