New Gate and Signing on Rules

When you enter into the field you will pay for your £6 gate fee as normal. You will ALSO pay £2 for signing on, even if you are a junior. Everybody will pay for their signing on at the gate. When you have paid, you will be issued with a ticket (depending on what you are racing.... men, ladies, junior, or admission).

After scrutineering you will go to "Sign On". You have to be signed on to race and go in the pits, as usual. When you sign on, you will be issued with a Wristband according to what you have signed on as. Men, Ladies, Juniors, Mechanics-(and Officials) all have different colours.

These wristbands will be checked during the day. If you do not have a wristband on and you are in the pits or attempting to race a car, you will be removed. If you lose or break your wristband, it is up to you to bring your broken one back to signing on to get it replaced.

Please contact one of the committee to ask any questions if you are unsure.
