chkdsk Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hello everyone, Portage is in the books and Gimli is the last chance to light em up! For the two day format, we are going with the exact same as last year which is the same as on the poster and Supp Regs. Saturday is a normal scheduled Race Day then Sunday is the 6 Race back-to-back RTI Shoot-out (points) then Studded Enduro then Worker Appreciation (Mandatory) I'm working on the schedule right now and will post it as soon as possible. The studded Enduro on Sunday is a run-what you brung tire so you can run home builts or illegals. Warning for any RTI Guys from a wise old Mechanic buddy of mine: If you think there is something about to break in your car, then bolt some Studded tires and do a few laps and the car will tell you what's wrong.

chkdsk Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Entry fee for weekend is $100 for one day and second day is free. Make sure you thank an organizer at Gimli for that. If you would like to pay via Paypal then you can on DLB. You still still need to print out the registration form and fill it out, this is just for paying via Paypal. http://www.dlbracing.com/clubs/wpg-autox/autox.aspx?LMID=3338&EventID=6164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chkdsk Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Sunday is Race Day #6 for RTI plus Studded Enduro plus Ride-a-longs (Manditory). Schedule is NOT what you are used to so read below. * Schedule is tight so be prepared. RTI cars should be ready to go for 10am sharp; make sure your tin cans are already warmed up, suited up, tuned up, oiled up, belted up, fueled up, pressured up, tired up, axel’d up and wrenched up. You should only need to grab your helmet and go racing on time. No practice so race starts immediately. 9:30 worker meeting at Mega Trailer. Track is hot at 10am and RTI racing action starts sharp. If you need more time to get track hot then schedule Worker Meeting earlier than 9:30am.9:45 SHARP! Driver meeting for RTI. Don’t wait to be called, be at Mega trailer for 9:45am and ready to listen. To organizers: only need to speak to RTI guys and get them ready to go. 10:00am - 11:00am RTI Races and no practice. 12 minute races with 5 minutes in between checker and release of grid. For the RTI Drivers; have your crew ready for adjustments. RTI Race #1 RTI Race #2 RTI Race #3 11am -12:10pm Lunch Break 12:10pm to 1:10ish RTI Race #4 RTI Race #5 RTI Race #6 ** For T&S – We’ll need a weekend total of 1st, 2nd, 3rd for RTI races for Michael Lazer, Lakeview Resort Trophies please. 1:15 pm to 1:25 pm - Driver's meeting for Studded Enduro Race; Whoever wants to participate in the Studded Enduro needs to be at this meeting at Mega trailer. Meeting will be run by Bryce S and Bob W with Jordan S as backup. Quick meeting discussing: - You must attend and give Darren W your name and Car # (or Jordan S) as the starting grid is a random draw. Late takers will be at the back of the pack. - 15 min break for RTI guys to bolt on studded tires and check oil, fuel, etc. - Make sure your car numbers and plackers are clear as we need to record your standing manually during a long period of time. No number = no standings. Some points for the race and driver’s meeting and you may as well have the info now: * The entire session shall be 30 minutes * Split it to 2 x 15 minute sessions with a 10 minute break in between sessions * You can change drivers during the break with another properly licensed racer * Time does not stop during Red Flags * Race will not stop for you if you stuff it in a safe place * Race “will” stop for you if you stuff it in a dangerous spot but “time” won’t. If your car is stuffed twice in a dangerous spot you will be asked to go to the pits after your 2nd tow-out and park it. * Pay extra attention to the flag station workers and pay attention to your mirrors. It’s not about being fast, it’s about being consistent. * The initial start will be dual lanes, if there is a restart then it will be single file and all other starts will be single file * If there is a red-flag AND the field is stopped mid-field then back-markers will be sent around the track (slowly) and put at the back of the field prior to re-start. Their drive-around lap shall count as crossing S/F even if that puts them back on the lead lap. ** Ask Jordan questions on this if you aren’t sure what I mean. * Remember that black flag means to pull in to the pits in to the Staging lane and Red Flag means you stop racing and pull off the race line and stop safely on the track and wait for someone to come get you. 1:40pm: 10 minute Studded Practice then you pull back in to Staging grid for line-up. If you have an issue with your car then make sure you crew helps you out quick as there is only 5 mins gap. If you’re late then you lose your spot in the grid and you’re at the back. 1:55pm: Fire on Ice Studded Enduro 30 minute Shoot Out * Staging will have the random starting order by now. Go where you are told and get ready to start. 2:40pm (ish) - Checker Flag 3:00pm: Mandatory Drivers meeting for all drivers for VIP Ride-Along and Workers Appreciation at Mega Trailer: The Ride-alongs went extremely well last year with Bryce running the grid and Marcoux harvesting the crowd for ride-along people plus the drivers lining up to Bryce for the next rider. *** Hamish and Scott; Can you make sure VIP’s are here during this time plus Mike Lazer for his trophies. 1) All workers come in and leave their stations 2) This is mandatory for all drivers; if your car is broken then you will go out to a corner and work during this session so dress warm. If there is already workers for corners then to go to Bryce on Grid with tee’ing people up with helmets and drivers and lining 1 + 1 so it runs smooth. On the grid you will need to help passengers with the seat belt as they are not used to it. 3) We need to make sure all St John’s Ambulance People get a ride plus all the workers get a ride 4) For Driver’s: Same as last year: Line up in the two grid lanes with RTI in the left and Studs in the Right. Do your three or four hot laps at 80% with your rider then pull back in to the grid line waiting for the next rider. Remember to remind your passenger to fold their arms and not grab on to the roll cage. If Bryce is not able to run this part then should assign to one of the drivers OR seek me out and I’ll run it. 5) Please bring extra helmets with your name on it and put at Bryce’s truck so others can use them. 6) Michael Lazer should be here right now for Trophies prior to ride-along. FYI trophies will be: RTI it will be top points for the Gimli weekend, for Studded it will be the top three of the Studded Enduro. 7) Once Michael is done his trophy’s then the ride-along starts right away. Get your cars in line or get out to the corners. That’s it for instructions and I’d like to that all the volunteers that make this happen plus congratulations to everyone for another season of Ice Racing in Manitoba. 4pm: Done 2016! And track is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
