Course Worker Instructions
&
The Down / Out Pylon Rule Diagram

Do's

• Make sure you check in with the Chief of Course prior to the beginning of your work shift.

• Make sure your station has adequate supplies: extra pylons, fire extinguisher, red flag, communication equipment, and any required report forms.

• The red flag must be kept in hand, held against the leg, and ready for immediate deployment.

• Make sure you know your area of responsibility and the location of your radio person.

• Make sure all the cones in your area are in their proper place when you first come on station and periodically check them all during your work shift.

• Make sure you read and understand the pylon rules, Section 7.9 A, B & C in the Solo II rule book. Most places don't count pointer cones if hit.

• Pay attention to the cars on course for accurate cone counts and your safety.

• Replace cones as soon as possible - another car will be through in less than a minute.

• Be prepared for exposure to sun, rain, wind, heat or cold while on station. Note all can happen in the same work heat.

Don'ts

• Do not use cameras while on a corner station.

• Do not sit down and do not wander away from your post.

• Do not turn your back to cars on course!

• Do not red flag a car unless instructed to do so by the radio person OR if it is an emergency. However, if in doubt, safety comes first.

• Do not litter.

• Do not pick up hot parts dropped on course because of a risk of burns.

• Do not pick up moving sticks. (snakes) It does happen.
