*NO MOTORCYCLE HELMETS* GENERAL RULES – At the entry to the pits you will sign a waiver / release of liability document. - Pit speed is 5mph. - Absolutely no burnouts, donuts or dangerous driving in the pits. This will be grounds for immediate ejection from the event. -Pit areas must be kept clean. Please use trash cans. -All used tires must be taken with you. A tire changing service may be available at select events. All used tires must be taken with you, or disposed of (for a fee) by the tire changing company. If tires are left behind, we will no longer offer this convenience for you. -Drivers meetings are MANDATORY! - Pay attention to and respect the track workers and staff. If you have an issue, or see something unsafe or dangerous, please bring it to our attention immediately. Here is a breakdown of the classes we use at the Freedom Factory: ◦ Beginner Solo: (Class D) – Drivers who have just started drifting and need practice and instructional ride-alongs. Instructional ride-alongs are provided only by A class drivers that FF has approved. ◦ Intermediate: (Class C) – Drivers who have proven themselves to have control of the car, drivers who can make mostly solid runs (spinning out on occasion). ◦ Advanced: (Class B) – Drivers who have complete control of their car, drive the recommended line consistently, and very rarely make mistakes or spin. Also newly caged or caged drivers from other areas we need to evaluate for A class. ◦ Tandem (Class A) – Drivers who have proven themselves not only to have control of the car, but also to have control of their car when multiple cars are on the track at the same time. This is the only class permitted to have a single passenger. • Selected A class drivers will be permitted to tandem in uncaged cars on the Skidpad only. Uncaged cars are not allowed to take passengers. A note about classes: Just because you have a cage, DOES NOT automatically put you in A class, or mean you’re able to tandem at our events. If you’re a new driver, or from out of town with a cage, we will put you in B (or C) class for a run group, so we can see you drive, and know that you’re not going to be endangering other drivers or yourself by running tandem. Please remember this isn’t a punishment, or a judgement. Honestly, we want to see EVERYONE running fully sick tandems with cages. We just need to know you’re up to it. **FF staff reserves the right to move a driver up or down in class as needed.** FF DRIFT TECH REQUIREMENTS -You will not be allowed on track until you have gone through tech.
