USEFUL FACTS FOR NEW ATTENDEES AND/OR COURSE WORKERS
Course work is the #1 most important job of the day! Make sure you’re fulfilling the expectations of the job by memorizing the duties expected of you below.
CORNER WORKER DUTIES
SAFETY
Safety is of utmost importance during all autocross activities. Working on course should not be taken lightly. Here are a few basic guidelines to help work safely.
- Workers should be positioned in locations where they can clearly see all cars coming and going.
- Workers must quickly pick up and replaced downed cones. The workers must realize that they will need to run in order to do so. Cars pass roughly every 20 to 30 seconds. If there is not time to do so safely, wait until after the next car has passed.
- Cell phones, cameras, other devices must not be in use by workers.
- Workers must stand at all times… no sitting down on the job!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The main focus of corner working is to monitor the cars as they proceed along the course, noting whether they collect any cone penalties or run off course, and keeping the course consistent for subsequent drivers. Take this task very seriously… you will want corner workers to do the same for you as they watch your run.
- Familiarize yourself with your corner | The course is broken up into several corners. You must be clear where your area of responsibility starts and ends.
- Watch correct course path | Watch the general path of the car to be sure it follows the course on the correct side of the cones. A DNF (Did Not Finish) is charged only is part of the course is omitted. A run is not a DNF if any part of the car hits any part of the marker defining the course. A car may pass outside of the chalk lines, but must drive along the proper side of the cone. The chalk is only there to help visualize the course.
- Watch for downed cones | you should observe behind the car to see if a cone has been hit. Watch the cones, not the cars!
- Cone penalty | use the ‘Down or Out” rule. If the cone has been knocked down, or if it has been nudged completely out of its chalk box, then a penalty results. If a cone remains upright and is still within or touches any part of the box, it is not a penalty.
- Pointer cones | If a cone is laid out on its side as a directional indicator for drivers, it does not count as a penalty if it is hit.
HOW TO REPORT
- Once you quickly put the cones back in their correct spot (but be sure to place them accurately), look towards the Corner Captain and indicate to him/her how many cones collected a penalty.
- Hold up fingers for the number of cones and yell the number out to him. If there is no penalty, cross your arms back and forth across each other below the waist (like an umpire signaling ‘safe’).
- If a car omits part of the course, signal the DNF by crossing both arms above your head.
- Return to your position quickly.
