queries on what is acceptable should be addressed to the SCR staff. As part of scrutineering all cars

Signing On:
Once a car or motorcycle has been successfully scrutineered, all drivers must sign on.
This will involve payment of the appropriate track fee (£20.00 per day/£35.00 weekend for unlimited
runs), signing the required track indemnity forms and handing in of a completed event registration form.
Helmets:
Helmets are recommended but will required to be worn by all drivers of cars capable of
running 11.00 second elapsed times or better, or quarter mile speeds of over 100 mph.
Helmets will not be available for hire so it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that they provide their own.
Shakespeare County Raceway recommends you take a helmet even if your car is running
slower than 11.00 second/100 mph quarter miles. They are concerned for your safety.
Track Access: At all times when the track is open for sessions (10.00am – 6.00pm Sat & 11.00am –
5.00pm Sun) drivers/riders should access the track through the Staging Lane area. Please follow all
instructions by the track staff from Shakespeare County Raceway who will direct you to the Staging Lanes, and through the start procedure.
Times:
SCR staff will announce across the PA system Times and Speeds throughout the day/weekend.
General notes:
1 Shakespeare County Raceway recommends you wear a helmet for drag racing
2 Bring your drivers licence for sign on (MOT & Insurance documents may be asked for)
3 Wear clothing that covers your arms and legs
4 Windows must be closed when racing
5 Seat Belts must be worn
6 Regarding intercooler spray bars. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE not if you are drag racing!
Shakespeare County Raceway cannot afford any fluids on the track surface.
As you probably know, the track is treated for traction. The slightest moisture turns it into a skating rink! Even if
you use the spray bar in the fire up road, there will still be drips when you get to the line. This
means a clean up that eats into valuable racing time. The track policy is perfectly clear on
this, any car dropping fluids will NOT be allowed to race!
7 Shakespeare County Raceway reserves the right to define additional rules governing the
running of the event and will advise all registered entrants accordingly. Track managements
decision is final in any situation or dispute.
WARNING! MOTORSPORT CAN BE DANGEROUS. DESPITE THE
ORGANISERS TAKING ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS,
UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN, IN RESPECT OF
THESE, YOU ARE PRESENT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON SITE
It is a condition of admission that all persons having any connection with the promotion and
/or organisation and / or conduct of the meeting, including the owners of the land and the
drivers and owners of vehicles and passengers in the vehicles, are absolved from any liability
arising out of accidents causing damage or personal injury (whether fatal or otherwise)
however caused to spectators or ticket holders.
