Design Course. Allow safety margins, solid object margins, good second-car overlap, 3-5 worker stations. Consult applicable references and experienced course designers as needed.

Submit map to WWSCC Meeting at least a week prior to the event date. Get blanks here.

Obtain supplies: Lumber crayons for cone marking (Dixon yellow or white, no paint crayons, get at least a dozen; twenty is better) Dolomite for lining the course (if needed)

Make at least 75-100 copies (depending on anticipated turnout) of the final course maps (8-1/2 x 11) for registration. Print extras to use as course station coverage area maps. If you are setting up the course the day before the event, it is a good idea to wait until after course setup to copy the maps, as you will most likely end up making changes.

Recruit workers to help set up the course the day prior. A WWSCC steward should be there too. Mark all cones when satisfied. If necessary, knock over or pick up and leave cones near lamp posts.

If necessary, recruiter workers to set up final course at least one hour prior to the opening of registration.
|
|
|
AT EVENT

Set up course and get final approval from WWSCC Event Stewards. Re-mark cones if necessary.

|
|
Post official map by Registration.
|
|
|
Post a small course map showing defined areas of coverage at each course work station, and provide copies to the Chief of Workers.
|
|
|
Place fire extinguisher, red flag, minimum of three spare cones, and garbage bag (if possible) at each work station.
|
|
|
Course Designer should be available all day to handle course surface degradations, changes, issues, etc.
|
|
|
AFTER EVENT
|
|
|
Use blowers to remove dolomite lines, if applicable.
|

NOTE: If your event chair has done their job, you should not have to do the "teardown." There is a Chief of Teardown job description!

WWSCC Driver’s Meeting Notes
Introduction:
Welcome to WWSCC Event # _____, hosted by ______________
The WWSCC Championship Series is sponsored by Jim’s Detail Shop and Coop's Miata.
Introduce yourself + key people that helped put on this event (Course, Grid, Registration, Tech, Timing, Trophies, Waivers, Workers)
Introduce Event Stewards
Site and Safety Basics:
- Everyone on site needs to sign the waiver (and wear a wristband if applicable)
- All minors must have a signed waiver by a parent or guardian
- Obey speed limits on the roads leading to this site and drive slow on site – 10mph or slower
- Respect this property and the property of your competitors
- Pick up your trash and other trash you see. If you leak fluids, clean them up!
- No smoking, alcohol or drugs on site
- Timing vehicle is off limits
- Viewing areas
- No skates, skateboards, bicycles, scooters or running in grid
- No children or pets in “hot areas” (grid and course) - Pets must be leashed or contained
- No hand-held cameras in the car (cameras must be mounted)
- Novices can NOT ride with novices
- If you are a novice and would like some help during your runs, please ask a Grid official
- If you are entered in a regular open class you can NOT ride with anyone until after you have completed your competition runs
- If you are running in PRO, you MAY ride at any time for instructional purposes
- If you go out of bounds or hit a hard object you will receive a DSQ from the event and will no longer be allowed to run today
- Be prepared to pay if you make contact with the timing equipment ($100 whether it’s lights or cables)
Course Basics and Penalties:
- Corner captains are in charge of their corners – they should be holding the red flag and the radio and make sure all their corner workers know what they are doing
- Radios – call in your station, the car, and the penalty, and make sure you get an acknowledgement from course control
- Red flags - hold it furled, not rolled, flag cars if you see something dangerous, make sure they see you (but don’t get in front of the car!), go tell the driver what’s up and what to do next
- Familiarize yourself with the cones and where they are supposed to go when you go out to work course
- No sitting down, talking on cell phones, texting or taking pictures on course
- Watch the cones, not the cars
- Go over cone penalties and penalty signals (DO NOT place cones in a box with an X)
- If the cone wiggles, check it and make sure it’s centered in the box. Signal to your station’s radio person (cone, gate, or no penalty gesture) and make sure he/she sees you
Wrapping up
- If you are running first your car should be in grid with your timing card on the windshield
- If you have a dual-driver car, line up in the far left lane of grid (both timing cards on the windshield)
- If you are working first please check in at the timing van before heading to your work assignment
