| v. | The Starter will release you on to the course. Never enter a course without permission from a Starter! Never start your run without a definite waving green flag from the starter! | ||
| vi. | As soon as you are through your timing area begin safely slowing your vehicle. Exit the race course as soon as safely possible and do not stop until you park with the Course Spotters. Do not ride or drive down the course to the end. | ||
