Code of Conduct

Whereas:
Northern Lights Raceway promotes safety, fair competition, fun and sportsmanship in drag racing at our facility

And Whereas:
Our facility is entirely run through the hard work of our team of volunteers

And Whereas:
We wish to provide a drag racing experience free from harassment of any kind

And Whereas:
We wish to keep drag racing strong for years to come at Northern Lights Raceway
Our Track Executive establishes the following code of conduct that applies to everyone at the facility:


The Code

1. All participants, track officials and spectators shall treat each other with respect, fairness and dignity at all times. We want everyone to return another time and to have fun at our facility.

2. The track officials shall consider safety first when making decisions concerning racing at the facility. Fair competition and sportsmanship are important but are secondary to safety.

3. All participants shall abide by the track and tech rules. Everyone is welcome to give input on rules at Club meetings, but they cannot be changed on a whim at the track on race day.

4. Questions or issues may be raised with the Dispute Resolution Team and they will address concerns in keeping with the spirit of safety, fair competition and sportsmanship

Anyone who chooses not to abide by this code may be asked to leave the Raceway and may have their racing privileges cancelled.



Why is this Important?

It takes a lot of people to put on a race at our track. These are all volunteers and they do the best job they can given the resources and training they have available. If we don’t support these people (or worse subject them to disrespectful treatment) they won’t be very interested in giving their time and effort to the club. When that happens we all end up losing.

There’s nothing magical about this code of conduct. It’s all simple stuff that should be common knowledge to everyone. But it is so important to keeping our club and track strong that we can’t overlook something this obvious. If we want our facility to grow and prosper, we need to support the people who come to help out.
