Sounds good! Its a start I would add a few things as i am sure others will.
Marshalling- Each racer is required to marshal after their race. Once you have completed your race. Remove your vehicle from the track, shut it and its radio off. Return your transponder, and report to a marshalling corner. There is only 3 minutes between each race and people will be out there right away warming up their vehicles and require marshalling.
Duties of a Marshal- To watch their particular area, do not watch the race going on at the other side of the track, this is for your safety. Correct the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Let other vehicle pass by before correcting vehicle. Do not flip a vehicle over if driver is reving engine, Put your arms up in the air this signals to the driver to stop reving it. This again is for your safety.
Transponders (personal or tracks)
A transponder is the timing device that tracks your lap time and counts your number of laps raced. This needs to me mounted flat and as low as possible so that it will read when you cross the loop.
IFMAR Starts
This is how the qualifiers are ran. You are racing the clock, not the other drivers. Once you get your transponder mounting and vehicle on the track it is important that you cross the loop to register your vehicle (do this before race starts) Once the tone goes off, you are not on the clock, you are on the clock once you cross the loop (start finish line) after this then you have 5 minutes of racing. This is why on the result sheet you will see your time over 5 minutes. One thing to note, Once the first car crosses the loop you have until that car completes one lap to start your time. If he crosses it before you do your time starts after he completes his first lap.

Top qualifier yjis is the fastest lap time. This is how the mains are seperated by the top drivers in the A main so so forth down.
