of each race and between races/rounds. This will require club
members to all pitch in for track setup and teardown, as well as
being on time for registration, marshalling, the start of their
race, and any other duty assigned. With the exception of an
extrodinary event, the JLap program will be set to run the raceday

set up. It will be everyone’s responsibility to cooperate to avoid
delays. If time permits a third qualifier may be run to be decided
before the mains are sorted. |
