the Track Hire may be cancelled entirely. In this case, all costs incurred to that point by WSID will be deducted from total

In all cases, the driver’s right-hand (K&N Filters) lane has right of way into the turnaround area. A competitor in the driver’s
left-hand (Wynn’s) lane must never cut across the path of the right-hand lane competitor. Swapping lanes in the braking
area is strictly prohibited unless a competitor is instructed to do so by a WSID official. An initial breach will result in a
warning. A subsequent breach will result in disqualification from further participation in the Track Hire. No refund will be
issued to The Hirer on an offender’s behalf.

BREAKAGES ON TRACK
Any competitor suffering a breakage, suspected equipment failure and/or fluid (oil/coolant/water/fuel) discharge whilst on a
run must move to the outside of the track (adjacent to the safety barrier of their lane) as quickly as possible to minimise
damage to the racing surface. Competitors must obey all directions given by WSID officials regarding track exit.

BURNOUTS
Burnouts may only be performed in the waterbox behind the start line while under the direction of a WSID official. If a
driver performs a burnout elsewhere on the WSID property, they will be disqualified immediately from further participation
in the Track Hire. No refund will be issued to The Hirer on an offender’s behalf. (Also refer: Burnout pad; Testing).

BURNOUT PAD
The performance of burnouts on the designated WSID burnout pad is strictly prohibited during this Track Hire. Any breach
will result in immediate disqualification from further participation in the Track Hire. No refunds will be issued to the Hirer on
an offender’s behalf.

CATERING

operations is not permitted at this Track Hire. Private arrangements may be made to have food and non-alcoholic

permitted in the staging lanes, start line or return road areas at any time during the Track Hire.

permitted to participate at this Track Hire.

COMPULSORY START LINE BRIEFING

Briefing before the start of racing. The Start Line Briefing normally takes place at 10:00am sharp with racing commencing
immediately, or as soon as practicable, afterward.

Sprays of water or other fluids externally onto intercoolers or radiators are not permitted.

CREDENTIALS
Drivers, crewmembers and photographers should present for Credentials as soon as possible after their arrival.

and may also face ANDRA tribunal action. (Also refer: Wristbands).

ELAPSED TIME RESTRICTION
Vehicles capable of elapsed times quicker than 11.000-seconds may not participate at this Track Hire. This elapsed time
restriction limits the participation of competition drag racing vehicles to ANDRA-designated Super Street level only. This rule
has been introduced in response to incidents of drivers attempting to swap to vehicles for which they are inappropriately
licensed either by swapping wristbands and/or helmets, hence the exclusion of competition vehicles of ANDRA-designated
Super Sedan level and above.

Access to paddock area electrical power is available on request.
