• Know where your on/off switch is
• Know which pedal is the brake and which is the gas
• Flags - you will need to learn what each color flag means and how to respond properly to it.
• The flagmans signals
• Hand Signals - you and your parents/handlers will set up some type of signal so you know what each other is trying to say.  These are important because there are only a few times while racing when you can use these signals
• Learning how to line up to begin a race or a restart
• Learning how and when to pass
• What do I do in an emergency

Next the Handlers:

• Make sure your driver knows where the on/off switch is
• Make sure your driver knows which pedal is the gas and which is the brake
• practice the flags with your driver.  They must know what each flag means and the proper response for each.
• Bring your novice book to each race
• Although new drivers are taught racing basics, the real focus of is on safety.  They will learn much of this the first season on the track in the novice class racing other new drivers of their own age group.
• Hand Signals - there are basic hand signals and you and your driver may come up with a few new ones.  There is usually a small opportunity for you and your driver to communicate during a caution during a race.  keep hand signals simple and to a minimum.  REMEMBER:  they are kids and inexperienced being the wheel.  They are in small quarters going pretty fast.  Distractions aren't good.
• The Hander Meeting before each race is very important.  There is valuable information at every meeting.  Please make sure you or an adult from your race team is present.
