Kimi, can i leave this to you? Lets chat about it, we can send it via email to the racers.

 

[Kimeran]

Yup we'll talk.
Will only be an issue for the guys staying at George's hotel to get to Samrand, but we can meet them somewhere else

Hi Racers,

An email correspondence will be sent out later this week with more information.

I had a site visit yesterday, with the owners of ODI.

Please take note of the following:

Road to ODI
N1 and N4 is pretty much highway.
R80 to ODI, you need to be weary. Potholes and many unmarked speed bumps.

Racers Conoy
Details will be sent out in the email this week.

Directions to ODI
Travel on N1 towards Petersburg.
Take N4 split just after Zambezi turnoff.
Follow through tollgate.
Take 4th turnoff R80 SHOSHANGUVE left, road makes a complete 270 degree turn. Travel in a northerly direction for 7.7km.
Proceed past ROSSLYIN turnoff until you see Marula Sun boards.
Take HEBRON off ramp and turn left.
Go straight for approximately 10.3km until you find the board marked Marula Sun.
There will now be a 4-way crossing MABOPANE GARANKUA.
Set Speedo to zero and go across the 4-way stop for 6.2km.
You will pass thatch roofs on your left and a Liquor store on your right.
At the sign board (ODI RACEWAY), turn left and follow this road.
This will lead you to the track entrance.

The Days Program:
Racers entry is the same as the Spectator entry, if you see a line, please safely come to the front, verify that you are a racer with the gate keepers and proceed to the pit area.

We plan to be setup and ready to receive the racers by 8am, this will allow us an hour to scrutinize and sort out any last minutes items. There will be a drivers briefing at 8:50am.
Scrutinizing will run until 11am latest.

9am sharp, 1km runs will begin and run until 12pm.

12pm, lunch hour.

1pm, 400m runs, head to head will begin.

3pm, track closes.

3:30pm, Prize giving and vote of thanks in the ODI Lapa

Pit Area
We will mark off the pit area and only allow Racers and crew. Please keep your crew vehicles to a minimum. If the pit area does get too full, we may ask for pit crew cars to be parked in the spectator area.

We want to give racers most space and access in the pit area.

Please note, all additional persons in your vehicle and pit crew will need to pay an entry fee of R30 at the gate. All proceeds will be donated to charity.

Racers Line
Lines will be on a first come first serve basis. Please respect each other in the line.
1km runs are solo (one at a time) - Please make a single file line in the pit area, leading to the staging are and start line.
400m runs are heads up - Please agree and line up with your opponent before reaching the front of the line. If you do not have an opponent, you will have to move to the back of the queue.
Please be fair, no holding of places, etc.

Scrutinizing and Indemnity Form
Once the scrutineers have scrutinized your car, please complete the indemnity form. Please be at your car when scrutinizing is being done.

Safety and Security
The pit area will be cordoned off, however spectators will be allowed to walk and setup Gazebo's in the Pit Area. Please make sure all your valuable items are kept safe and make sure there is someone at your spot to take care of your items.

ODI will provide medical and fire staff should there be a need.

Food
ODI has a canteen, they sell food items and drinks.
We have arranged a Halaal cater as well, he will sell food only. With the possible addition of Tea and Coffee.
Please support these guys as they are coming all the way to ODI.

Halaal Menu:
Prego Steak Rolls
Wors Rolls
Hot Dogs
Chip & Dip
Chip Twiser

Please place your order in the morning for lunch to avoid food being sold out.

Results
Results will be announced after every run.
We will be capturing results to post on the forum and media.
We will publish results on the mobi site created for the event, on an hourly basis at minimum. (Network dependent)
Link will be sent via email.

Motorplan
Please take necessary action to prevent any issue with motor-plan, be it removing/blocking your number-plates, VIN and license disk numbers. There will be photographers and TV crew filming throughout the day.

400m runs are heads up - Please agree and line up with your opponent before reaching the front of the line. If you do not have an opponent, you will have to move to the back of the queue

Do we have to have a race lined up ? Can we not line up an opponent when we get to the front.

Many will be running against the clock anyway.

You can possibly have a solo run.

Our main concern is that everyone must have as many runs as possible.

We dont want racers at the start line saying, "i dont want to run cos of opponent" hence agree prior and line up together.

Quick question.

Will the track be prepped for us, or are we running on a un-prepped track?
