presented at the battery check on Saturday for an extra Energy Breakthrough tag to be applied.

• Only approved and tagged chargers can be used. • Battery chargers must be of a commercially available type. The physical dimensions of

• A battery pack is defined as the usual amount of batteries required to run the vehicle. • One power point will be provided for each team. • Teams are able to use more than one battery charger in order to safely charge their

batteries, however the total combined peak output rating must not exceeds 25 amps.

10. Trial Point Scoring: • The vehicle completing the most number of laps in each class in the trial period scores

the maximum 50 points. • Other vehicles in each class score points for the number of laps completed in proportion

and team BB in the same class travels 160 laps. • Points scored are as follows:

Team AA: 200 laps = 50 points

Team BB: 160 laps 50 x 160 = 40 points

200

The RACV Energy Breakthrough

HPV A - Corner Marshals HOLDEN Track Managers are Hayden Stewart and Tony Lacey. HOLDEN Track Clerk of Course is Greg Hill. The RACV team will assist where required. They assist with vehicle recovery and management of the vehicles and riders on the track. St John are located near Marshal Corner No. 8 and are in radio contact at all times. General Advice As Corner Marshals you play a very important role in the safe conduct of the event. You are our EYES and EARS around the Track. Two marshals are rostered on at any time – they need to work together to carry out the role properly. There will be a great deal of time when nothing happens and you may find it boring. However it is still important that you remain alert and watchful. On Arrival On arrival at your designated Corner have a chat with the team you are replacing about the role and what to look out for. Check that you know how to work the equipment before the other team leaves. Do not forget to sign the Volunteers Register which is in the folder. When you are sure of your role and that the equipment is working the other team may leave. You should advise the Track Manager that you have changed Corner Marshals and that all is OK. Equipment There is a list of equipment attached and in the box. When you arrive check that all the equipment is there and still working. Ask the team that you are replacing to show you how the lights and other equipment is used. If you need assistance with the operation of equipment radio the Track Manager. Team work It is important to have two people on at each corner – firstly for safety reasons and secondly for company. Generally one will be looking up the track and one down the track. Accidents In the case of an accident one person goes out to assist the rider and vehicle the other marshal watches the other traffic, uses flags to warn vehicles to beware and radios for assistance if required. Go to Yellow light and Yellow flag to warn other riders. When an accident occurs the second marshal advises the Clerk of Course of an accident on Corner No.? and asks them to stand-by while the other marshal is assessing the situation. The Clerk of Course may ask whether other Corner Marshals need to go to yellow. The second marshal can then request assistance from St Johns, assistance from RACV pick-up vehicle or advise that they vehicle and rider are Okay and will continue on. When all is clear advise the Clerk of Course that “all is clear at Corner No. ? and return lights to Green.”. Use the Red lights only as directed by the Clerk of Course. The marshal attending the rider should assist the rider where possible and make sure the rider is safe from further danger. If first aid is required the marshal should ask the second marshal to radio for first aid assistance. The St Johns volunteers are on call during the duration of the event. If you believe a rider needs assistance do not hesitate to call for first-aid.


Return To Pits Rule Procedures 1. The vehicles involved that need to return to the pits under this rule should NOT be released

until an “Return to Pits” sticker has been placed on the vehicle. Drivers of vehicles to be so marked should be advised that “they are required to return to the pits and cannot leave the area until a sticker is placed on their vehicle”.

2. If a vehicle leaves having been so advised without waiting for the sticker to be placed on the

vehicle the “Clerk of Course” should be notified and a penalty will be applied. 3. When all vehicles required have had ‘Return To Pits Sticker’ placed on them and the

corner is clear, immediately radio the ‘Clerk of Course’ advising the Number of the Vehicles involved and required to return to pits.

Suggested Safety Guidelines • Take care • Stay alert • Stand behind a barrier • Face incoming traffic • Wear visible vest • Wear warm/water proof clothing • Be visible • Debrief relieving race marshal

Monitor • Inappropriate behaviour • abusive language • Dangerous driving • Excessive speed • Deliberate obstruction • Inappropriate overtaking (on the left around bends, pit lane etc) • Broken or loose vehicle parts • Inappropriate spectators behaviour • Unauthorised spectators crossing • Poor or non vehicle lighting At the End of Shift Under no circumstances should a marshal leave their corner until the replacement team has arrived. If they do not arrive within 3 – 5 minutes radio the Track Manager and advise him that the new marshals have not arrived. He will follow up the replacement team. If they do arrive please advise the Track Manager. Please spend a few minutes with the replacement team advising them of what to look for and how the equipment works. Note: You are not on your own. If you need assistance please call the Track Manager. We aim to run an event that is safe and good fun for all involved.


FLAG SIGNALS BLUE: A faster vehicle is positioned to overtake a slower vehicle. Riders being overtaken should use their mirrors to know where the overtaking vehicle is and shall not cause obstruction.

GREEN: All clear; riders continue racing.

YELLOW: (USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH YELLOW LIGHT) A sign of danger or track obstruction in the vicinity of the marshal point. Riders are required to pass the point of danger at a reduced speed using extreme caution. Riders are required to hold race position until they come to the next green light.

2 WAY RADIOS

INFORMATION FOR CORNER MARSHALS

• On the HOLDEN Track the 2 Way Radios will be issued with all the Corner Marshalling equipment.

• When you take over marshalling at your designated corner please check the 2 Way Radio – checking that it is turned on and that the volume is at a satisfactory level.

• The 2 Way Radio works by pressing the button on the small hand piece and talking. When you have finished speaking say “over” and release the button. Remember that while the button is depressed you cannot hear others speaking. Always wait until there is no one speaking before pressing the button and talking.

• The 2 Way Radios have three channels.

• Channel 1 is to be used for events on the RACV Track and it will also be used for general communication throughout Princes Park.

• Channel 2 is to be used for events on the HOLDEN Track only. • Channel 3 is to be used for security and Police purposes only.

• Prior to each event the Corner Marshal is requested to report to Base that he/she is in place at the appropriate location and is in readiness for the commencement of the event.

• Once the event has commenced marshals are requested to restrict conversation on the 2 Way Radios to issues relevant to the event.

• All contact relative to the race itself should be directed to the “Clerk of the Course”.

• Other issues relating to security, Police, Ambulance etc should be reported directly to base which will handle the issue.

• Battery chargers will be located at both the administration centre (adjacent to the RACV track) and at the Lap Counting building (adjacent to the Holden track) and in an emergency exchange batteries will be available at these sites.

• The Track Manager will arrange for replacement batteries to be delivered to each corner at approximately six hourly intervals.

• All 2 Way Radios are to be returned to the Track Manager following any scheduled break in proceedings.
