GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING INFORMATION

a. Food & Drinks: The East Coast Park is largely a recreational area with no direct access to food and drinks. We will have our cleaner lady stock up her fridge with drinks. Please help us to support her efforts. As for food, we will have phone numbers ready for you to order from popular joints like MacDonald’s, Kentucky & Pizza Hut.

b. Electricity: There is no provision for AC electrical power. Participants who needs to charge their RX and TX batteries are to make their own arrangements.

c. In Singapore, littering is an offence, by law. Similarly, smoking is banned by law in all covered areas with or without air-conditioning.

d. Radio Impound bins for all heats shall be placed on the driver stand. Drivers are reminded to place their radios into the respective radio impound bins by the stipulated time. No radio transmitters are allowed anywhere else, except up in the driver stand.

e. Drivers shall be issued with a driver identification tag, please display it prominently for identification purposes. Other than race officials, no one else, without a Driver or Official identification tag shall be allowed access to the driver stand.

f. Singapore is a tropical country; all drivers please take note and be ready for it. On a best effort basis, we will try to have each round of heats completed under dry conditions. However, when we start off the Xmas tree finals, we will only stop the time table if the track surface is wet.

g. Assuming that all goes as plan, we would have 4 rounds of heats. The point results of the best 3 will be totaled to sort for the Xmas tree finals. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, we only have 3 rounds of heats, still the best 3 will count. If, there were only 2 rounds of heats, then both rounds will count and finally, if there were only one round of heat, then it shall be the only round to count.

h. In the event we could not execute the finals due to weather constraints, the qualifying heat sort will be used to rank all drivers.

i. Each driver will be issued with a single number sticker for your Heats, please clean the surface of the left side wall of your body (bearing reference with the front of your car facing away from you) and attached the number sticker onto it. This is to ensure that when your car goes across the transponder pick-up coil, the Time Keeper and Race Director can verify your car number.

j. Drivers using DSS radios (Spektrum or Nomadio) and or AMB Personal Transponders please take note of your receiver battery condition. The Time Keeper shall not be held responsible for any miss counting by the AMB Spark2 system.
