Run What Ya Brung Rules & Regulations:
- Full driving licence required to participate – don’t forget to bring it!
- Drivers of cars doing over 110mph at the finish line will require a crash helmet.
- You must sign on at the signing on office before you can use the track.
Signing on Procedure:
Make sure you take your driving licence and cash for signing on.
- Walk over to the signing on office at the base of the tower.
- Present your driving licence and Signing on fee to the staff in the signing on office.
- Collect your RWYB vouchers, wrist-band, and vehicle movement pass.
- You may now move your vehicle over to the fire-up lane to join the back of the RWYB queue.
- Once you have completed your runs, please return to your campsite or parking spot.
On Track Procedure:
- Attempt a burnout in the water patch under the tower when the start line is clear of the previous pairing. How you do this will depend on whether your car is front or rear wheel drive. This will help warm the tyres, and warm the crowd to you! Don't attempt to burn out in 4WD cars unless you know what you are doing: something will break!
- Roll up to the start line slowly when the starter beckons you forward. Try and stay roughly level with your opponent.
- As your front wheels reach the start line, a pair of orange bulbs will light on your side of the starting "tree" This means you are "pre-staged" and you are just inches away from being in the right position.
- Roll forward a fraction more, and another pair of orange bulbs will light below the first pair. This means that you are in the right starting position.
- When both you and your opponent have all staging lights lit, you are ready to go, so lift you engine revs, and get ready to drop the clutch. The starting tree lights will flash orange and then immediately green. Now is the time to GO! GO! GO!
- Don't worry if you mess it up- the starting official will help you do the right thing. keep an eye on him for direction.
- You can collect your timing slip from the signing on office. There is no charge for collecting your print-outs.
How Not To Break Your Car:
- When fully staged and waiting for the green light, hold the car on the handbrake and the biting point of the clutch to partially load the gearbox and drive-shafts.
- Don’t use too many revs while slipping the clutch. This will stop you cooking it.
- Don’t let your car hit the rev-limiter during burnout or run.
- Don’t slam on the brakes at the finish line… slow down gently.
- Turn on traction control if you have it.
None of the above tips should slow you down, but they should make things easier on your car!
