1. Give your tech inspectors and staging
directors the POWER to enforce the safety rules.
2. Don’t let a racer “get by” with safety
violations just to have a couple of more entry fees. You
will gain respect and reputation for enforcing the rules
and you will likely get more cars because they know the
rules are followed.
3. Treat a bracket race like it was important. Keep to
the schedule, coach your employees to be positive and
treat racers like they are valued customers.
4. Work on ways to improve track safety.
a. Organize your employees into groups
that know what to do in an emergency.
b. Start line engine fire. Who is the one who hits the
master disconnect, who is the one to make sure the fire
extinguisher is ready, who makes the call to the paramedics
or rescue crew from the other end?
c. Crash on the track. Who is in charge of calling the
paramedics, who has the fire extinguishers, who is the
one who helps and knows how to extract a racer, who
starts the cleanup and checks the track or guardrail
for possible damage?
d. Accident in the pit area or staging. Who calls the
paramedics, who has the insurance forms that need filled
out, who is in charge of making sure an outside ambulance
or fire truck has clear directions on how to get to
the accident scene?
