Dirt Track

Safety plans are designed to avoid incidents involving injury to personnel and property damage during Motorsports events. Many event organizers will have a copy of their plan available electronically via their websites, or at event registration. The guidelines below are designed to capture "general event safety" for the respective discipline. Use this information as a foundation for a proactive program of safety awareness and site safety supervision. Although specific personnel are assigned duties involving the enforcement of safety requirements, REMEMBER: safety is the responsibility of every event official, participant, and non-participant attending the events.

In this episode of Break/Fix Podcast safety related topics like: Safety in Dirt Track, Vehicle Safety Prep, Tech Inspections and more are covered.

The data and recommendations presented by this safety plan provide a foundation from which the event organizers and safety stewards will implement a functional program of incident avoidance. This plan is not all inclusive and additional safety supporting procedures may be developed and implemented during the event. Where safety is concerned, there is no excuse for knowing something to be wrong, or risk generating, and ignoring the situation because it is not spelled out in writing somewhere. Safety is not a game of semantics or rule bending. It must be a living program balancing the needs of a highly competitive Motorsport, with the realities of safety and risk reduction.
