A. DRIVERS MEETING: Before the qualifying session, the steward will hold a brief driver's meeting to review the rules and procedures of the event. All drivers will be asked to pit their cars prior to the meeting to ensure 100% attention is given to the steward. Failure to comply may result in a penalty at the steward's discretion.
B. STARTING PROCEDURES: Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the green-flag rules for this event:
- Once all drivers are on the grid, the pace car will lead the field around the track and exit the course as late as possible to enter pit lane.
- It is not required that drivers form into a single file line, but please use your judgement to determine when it's appropriate.
- After the pace car enters the pit lane, pole position has responsibility for pacing the field until the green flag.
- At this time, prior to the green flag being displayed, the leader can either maintain the current pace, or begin accelerating. However, the leader cannot slow down as this may cause an accident further back in the formation lap.
- As the front row of cars approach the start/finish line, the green flag will be displayed.
- Once the green flag has been shown, the race has begun and drivers are permitted to pass cars at this time.
C. HOW TO JOIN THE RACE SERVER: This event will be listed in the "HOSTED" section of the iRacing dashboard. Although practice servers are public and not secured, a password is required to enter official race events.

If you're not already using Trading Paints, you can install and setup the software easily by setting up an account and downloading the software at :www.TradingPaints.com.
E. TEAMSPEAK CHAT SERVER: GRA member James Lamb has graciously donated the use of his TeamSpeak Server. Please feel free to use the server during this event for pre- and post-race chat.
