Cool Down Period – Our track officials will attempt to provide adequate cool down time between

rounds. However, due to many constraints there may be a need to impose a shorter cool down period on a case-by-case basis. All vehicles must be prepared to enter the staging lanes and be ready to race within 10 minutes of the previous round unless otherwise directed. It is recommended that all quarterfinalists, semi-finalists and finalists return to the staging lanes immediately upon completing their run. Please conduct all of your between round maintenance and cool down in the lanes. Our track announcer will make an “on deck” call to inform drivers that the need to get ready. We will then make a first call to the lanes, one minute later a second call to the lanes will be made and one minute later a last call will be made followed by the closing of the staging lanes.
