until directed to do so.
- Blue - "Directing flaggers" - follow their instructions
for entering, exiting or stopping at the end of a stage.

and look for a "directing flagger" (blue flag) to
show where you are to stop or go next.
- Green - Will only be used as a backup for starting if the
display clocks fail.

Rally Guide 8.1 - Practice Session
on Saturday morning:
Runs: A “Run”
will consist of two complete laps around the Super Special
Stage course. Three cars will line up at the appropriate
Start / Finish line (one behind the other) for that direction.
When the course is clear the starter will start the first
car. When the first car is about 1/3 of the way around the
course the starter will start the second car. When the first
car is about 2/3 of the way around the course the starter
will start the third car. As the cars complete their second
lap they will be shown the checkered flag. A bit further
down the track the competitor will be either flagged to
a stop or directed off the course (depending on the direction
of the run - CW or CCW).
Order of Runs: The Super
Special Stage practice will last for two hours (8:30 –
10:30 AM on Saturday). This two hour period will be broken
into four sessions each 30 minutes long. The first session
will run clockwise (CW), the second counter-clockwise (CCW),
the third CW and the fourth CCW.

driver will be allowed a maximum of one CW run and one CCW
run.
