Scooter, Bicycle, and Pet Issues
Tri-C Karters will adopt a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy for anyone on a bicycle, scooter, etc. or with pets in the pit area. The only warning given will be at the driver's meeting after that, anyone caught violating the rule will be asked to leave and the driver(s) associated with that person will receive a DQ. This is a safety issue and needs to be under control.
