The speed in the pits is 5 mph at all times even when late for your race. Breaking this rule will see you loaded up and face disciplinary proceedings, there really is no excuse!!!

When reversing your race car your visibility is severally reduced with your helmet on please use a member of your team to see you back. (You cant see small children) This is a health and safety instruction, not a request!

RUBBISH and waste parts/liquids:

Please keep your Pit area free from rubbish especially broken glass, sharp obstacles and liquids (oils etc). Animals use this field when we are not racing and your waste can cause serious harm to them.

CARRYING OUT REPAIR WORK AND PIT H&S

Normal Heath and Safety rules apply within the pit area. This particularly applies when mechanical equipment is being used like Hiab's, Stihl saws and welding equipment. You must ensure that the people who are operating this equipment are fully qualified to do so and have the appropriate personal protective equipment such as( but not limited to) goggles and footwear. The actions of your crew remain your responsibility throughout Race day. This also means the equipment must only be used for its intended purpose. No swings on Hiabs ETC If you breach any legal or health and safety guidelines however small you will face a disciplinary hearing and could face a ban.
