**WCMRC - State Titles - Marshalling**
Drivers please note the below.

7.2 Marshalling
7.2.1 Marshals must not place themselves in danger of being hit by a car on the track.
7.2.2 Where a heat or final has been stopped due to a Marshal being incapacitated or at risk of further injury, the qualifying heat or final will be rerun as if it were interrupted by Wet Weather.
7.2.3 Competitors will marshal the heat following their racing heat. Competitors in the final heat of a qualifying round will marshal the first heat of that qualifying round.
7.2.4 Competitors, or their designated substitute, must perform marshalling duties for qualifying heats and finals. It is the competitors’ responsibility to ensure substitutes marshal from the correct marshalling location. Physically disabled drivers are not required to marshal.
7.2.5 Competitors, or their designated substitute, must marshal at the correct marshalling location, as per their corresponding car number. Failure to marshal at the correct location will incur a penalty.
7.2.6 The host club must provide marshals for vacant positions for which there are no available competitors.
7.2.7 All marshals must wear enclosed shoes and use the provided fluorescent jacket.
7.2.8 Marshals must return cars to as close as possible to where they left the track.
7.2.9 Where multiple cars require marshalling, it is to be done on a first come first go basis.
7.2.10 Where multiple cars require marshalling that was caused by another car; the car that caused the problem will be marshalled last.
7.2.11 Cars that are no longer able to return to the pit lane on their own are to be placed upside down outside the track perimeter until the completion of the race.
7.2.12 A marshal is responsible for the section of track designated by the track officials through a marker or number. Their responsibility is to return a vehicle that has overturned or tangled (with another vehicle or object) to the race surface in a manner that does not affect another approaching vehicle. Broken or Dead vehicles must be removed from the racing surface, and placed upside down in a safe position away from the racing surface. It is not the Marshals job to fix a broken vehicle (removing a tucked body shell is allowed). Pit crews will be permitted to fix simple problems, as long as it does not affect Drivers, Marshals and Race Officials carrying out their duties

*WCMRC STATE TITLES - COMPETITOR RESPONSIBILITIES*

As the date for this epic is drawing closer I draw your attention to "The Competitor Responsibilities" as defined by The RCRA. In particular that all drivers MUST be a current financial member of an affiliated club.
If you are not a member of a club you have the opportunity to join WCMRC. You may be asked to verify that you are a member at the Initial Technical Inspection.....It would not be ideal to DQ any driver so please ensure your membership and equipment complies.

2.13 Competitor Responsibilities
2.13.1 The Competitor fully accepts that they will act responsibly, in a sportsmanlike manner and within the rules of the Championship.
2.13.2 The competitor fully accepts that penalties, including disqualification and possible sanctioning from future State, National and International Championships may arise from breaches of the rules.
2.13.3 The competitor is responsible for ensuring that they are a current financial member of an RCRA EP affiliated club.
2.13.4 The Competitor fully accepts that they are responsible for their equipment, and that it is in a safe and useable condition, and meets any Local, State and National regulation required for that equipment (i.e. electrical equipment).

Dear Members,
In response to the current economic climate and the increasing cost of living, the club has undertaken a comprehensive review of its operational expenses. As a result of these cost-cutting measures, we are pleased to announce an immediate rollback of all practice and racing fees to their 2023 levels. But wait its gets even better You now can race 2 classes for the same price 3 or more only an extra $5.00 each

We recognize the financial pressures many of our members are currently facing, and it is our sincere hope that this adjustment will enable you to continue participating in the activities you enjoy without undue financial burden.
