Tower Help Needed

As members of NGQMA the tower needs your help. Please contact Sherry Taylor if you are interested in working in the tower. The jobs in the tower are critical to insuring a fair race, as the tower crew keeps track of the laps, the running order, and establishes the lineup after yellow flags.

It's the best seat in the house, with its own bathroom and AIR CONDITIONING.

Registration

Registration for every points race will be from 8:30 until 10:00.

Your car must have been through safety before registering. You must have a signed-off safety form in your hand in order to register the first time. Once we have that form on file, and you have a sticker on your car, you are good to go for all club races for the year. The Safety Director will sign-off the form after inspecting your car and the driver's safety equipment.

If you are a returning member you must have your current QMA badge or the orange copy of your completed QMA application to register-NO EXCEPTIONS.

Driver and handler must come to the tower TOGETHER to register. A individual insurance waiver must be signed by both handler and driver EACH WEEK before registration can be completed.

If this is the first year that you are a member of QMA the following must be completed on your first race day-a individual waiver must be signed by BOTH PARENTS and driver before registration can be completed. This must be done in the tower. It will be kept on file-from every week on the individual waiver can be signed by one parent and the driver. This must be done EVERY WEEK.

Cost to race weekly races is $30.00. Transponders will be used at every race.

Late Registration

Please be aware that late registration causes a strain on the tower to get the race line-ups posted in a correct and timely manner. Be considerate of your fellow drivers and register by 10:00AM for our regular points races. For the Regional races you must register by 7:30AM.

If you know you are going to be late, but still wish to register/race, then call one of your racing buddies who is at the track and ask them to register your car/driver for you, so you can get on the racing docket. When you arrive, then you can go up to the tower and finish the registration process.

Transponders

The club is fortunate to be racing at a track that has an electronic scoring system that detects the transponders that are attached to each car. Racers need to acquire their own transponder, as the club only has a dozen or so rental transponders availble to the new race teams on a temporary, daily use basis.

In order to rent a transponder you must submit your drivers license during registration.

NGQMA Two Minute Rule

During the NGQMA Club meeting on February 4th 2008 it was voted to no longer have a Two Minute Work Rule during races.

Driver Profiles

If you would like your driver to have a profile on the Driver page please send the following information and a picture(optional) to the webmaster markmackie@rocketmail.com. The pictures are best if in .jpg format. Please put NGQMA Driver Profile in the subject line.

Notice Regarding Track Maintenance...

The track will be closed during any period the track requires maintenance including landscape work, painting of walls and and any other general repairs. The track will open when the maintenance has been completed. Please be considerate if you are practicing and allow the maintenance to be completed prior to continuing your practice.

Notice Regarding RV and Trailer Parking at Fair Grounds!

Parking of RV's is no longer permitted on the right side of the entrance per the Fair Grounds Management.

If you are driving an RV when you pull into the fair grounds you MUST turn left to park your vehicle unless you have a reserved parking space. Reserved spaces are for Race Day officials.

Additionally there will be no parking of trailers longer than 16' in front of the barbecue facility (across from Bill Thomas parts trailer) and any trailer parked on the asphalt requires a tongue or 2x8x8 pad on all leveling jacks to protect from damaging the asphalt.

See Diagram for details.

Quarter Midget Parts and Gear

Are you in need of parts to keep your racecar running?

We are fortunate to have Bill Thomas Motorsports provide 'at the track' parts from his famous trailer. You can also swing by his home in Cumming on off days to pick up the parts you need. Give Mr. Thomas a call on his cell phone at 678-410-0537 and get your parts, and valuable free advice too!

Safety Equipment can be obtained from club member Mitch Elzey and Family. Email them at AYAE292@yahoo.com.

Raceday Announcements

Can't hear the announcements from the tower when you are at your trailer? Then tune your FM radio to 88.3! The tower transmits their announcements on a localized FM transmitter, so you can hear them on your radio!
