If you're running a 13.99 or quicker, you'll need to have a driveshaft loop and a helmet with you. If you are doing better than a 11.99, things get substantially more complicated. The tech inspector will write your cars number on your side and front windows where it will be visible to the tower. When the announcer calls for staging lanes to be open, pull into your proper lanes. Smaller tracks only have two.
Bigger tracks have differant classes split to differant lanes.
Again, ask, or refer to any documentation that you were given when you paid your entry fee. Once you are in the lanes, stay with your car. When it's time for the cars in your staging lane to pull forward and be positioned to race, a track official at the front of the lanes will direct you. Watch the track officials at all times for proper direction. After you have been paired up out of the staging lanes and pull up next to the timing tower, be ready to go.
