We will have forms you can fill in but if you can print them at home and bring them filled in ready it will save a lot of time. Remember you can’t be scrutineered till you have signed in. Also you must sign in both days of a 2 day event.
Pay out in the bar at the end of the meeting.

Scrutineering
Scrutineering takes place at the Caravan in the pits. Please take your car to be scrutineered as soon as possible along with all your PPE, Log Book etc

Pit Safety
Please note there is no smoking in the pits. There is a strict 5mph speed limit in the pits for all Vehicles. Also no passengers in or on the car. The Pits isn’t a playground, no ball games, no bikes, scooters, quads (apart from officials) etc can be used in the pits.
Mobility Scooters, wheel chairs are allowed driven my people that require them.

When working under your car you must make sure it is supported by either a proper axle stand or with some wheels and not just left on a jack so if the car slips of the jack there is something to stop it causing a serious injury to whoever is underneath it. If a Hiab is used ensure part of the car is over the flatbed area of the lorry.

When drivers are working on their car in the pits they should be aware at all times that members of the public may be in the pit area, as well as other competitors, mechanics and members of their families. The driver should make sure that a member of their crew is responsible for ensuring no-one is placed in danger by their work. Members of the public should be at least 2 metres away when carrying out any mechanical work.
Normal Health and Safety rules apply within the Pit area. This particularly applies when mechanical equipment is being used like hiabs, stihl saws and welding equipment. Drivers must ensure that the people who are operating this equipment are fully qualified to do so and have the appropriate personal protective equipment such as goggles and footwear. The actions of the drivers crew remain their responsibility throughout the race day.
All fuel must be kept in sealed containers. Fuel should be stored in approved containers and well away from public areas. When re-fueling a vehicle, a second person must be present with a fire extinguisher. Extra care should be taken if the engine is still hot. Members of the public should be at least 2 metres back when re-fueling. 
It is an ORCi rule in all formulas that a fully operational Fire Extinguisher is kept with all tow vehicles and its position is known to all your pit crew. 
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

2023 Car Spec/Rules
1300 Saloons, Rookie Bangers, GT Hotrods and Junior Rods are now online. Junior Rods now are split Vauxhalls or Nissans.
Any questions please contact a scrutineer, numbers below.

Transponders
All 1300 Saloons and GT Hotrods that race at Skegness Raceway require to be fitted with an AMB Transponder. More details are on the rules for each formula. Please ensure you get the correct transponder. Karting ones no longer work, if buying an X2 transponder you must get the car one. Any questions please ask the office on 07881 021058 (no texts) or info@skegway.info before you buy. We don't sell the transponders please visit www.mylaps.com.

RACECEIVERS
In all formulas (except adult Banger formula's, so our own 1300 Saloons, GT Hotrods, Junior Rods & Junior Bangers will need them ) drivers must have a RACEceiver device fitted, The RACEceiver device for Drivers is being mandated at ORCi tracks all over the country. This small communication device is revolutionising the industry, making the sport safer for both the drivers and officials. It saves time by allowing officials to talk to all the drivers at the same time and lets you get on to more racing. The officials can warn drivers about accidents or debris on the track and to ensure the correct driver is excluded should a black flag be needed.
Suggested Raceceiver is the RACEceiver Fusion+ available at many outlets on the internet, they do not come with earphones, so you will need to supply a set of in-ear earphones with a 3.5mm plug. The channel to tune into is 952, any probs please get in touch.
We won’t be stocking them in our Track Shop but they are available from a number of online suppliers.
