Name of Proponent | Ray Stec |
Short Description | reinstate the "Mission only" red flag rule |
Applicable Regulatory Document | Race |
Type of Rule Change | Addition |
Section to be Added or Changed | 4.7.D.1. |
Proposed Regulation | add iii All drivers are required to come to an immediate controlled stop on the driver's right side of the race track at the next turn station. When released by an official the driver is to proceed cautiously to the pits. Overtaking is not permitted. This is in place at Mission only. |
Reason for Rule Change | having the field stop immediately allows for a quick response by emergency vehicles who can then take a direct route to the incident. The ambulance does not respond until either the race vehicles are in the pit lane or stopped on track. By having cars proceed to pit lane, there is the potential to have a traffic jam that impedes access by emergency vehicles. |
Status/Disposition | Rejected |
