Do's

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.

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 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.

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