By participating in any manner at N-Control, you agree that you have read, understand, and will be bound by these and all other rules publically communicated about such use. Understanding and following the rules is your responsibility.

N-Control provides access to well-maintained offroad and oval R/C raceways, for both racing and practice. Using our facilities means following our rules, designed to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests. Management reserves the right to warn and/or ban guests from the N-Control grounds should this be necessary. Observe the following rules at all times.

- Swearing and tantrums are prohibited at all times, day and night. Period, no exceptions, no tolerance. N-Control is a family-friendly facility.

- Smoking is prohibited on and around the tracks, including the pits. Retreat to the far side of the parking area before lighting a cigarette.

- Drive with courtesy during practice sessions... remember that the subject of your bump passing practice might be ten.

- Please place all trash in provided receptacles. Your mother is not here to clean up after you, and I get grumpy when I have to do it.

- Driving happens on the tracks. Do not operate your vehicle in the pits, parking lot, or other areas off the track surfaces.

- Drive from the driver's stands during racing, and from the stand or raised pit lane (offroad only) during open practice. Do not drive while retrieving a car, walking across the track, or standing in a marshalling area.

- Corner marshals should stand only in marshalling areas within the course or along the edges of the course. Enter the roadway only to retrieve vehicles, and only after looking for oncoming traffic.

- Drive only in the intended direction of the track as determined during layout design for each track. Do not drive backwards at any time.

- Frequency clips must be used at all times. Even if you are alone, take the appropriate clip from the board. If you don't have the clip, do not turn on the transmitter.

The primary mission of N-Control Raceway is, of course, racing. Whether you're a weathered racer or a rank novice, the following additional rules apply while racing at our facility. We all know that racing gets the adreniline pumping! However, please respect your fellow competitors. The "heat of the moment" is not an excuse for inappropriate behavior.

- Racing classes are generally self-selected. Please select the most appropriate class based on your vehicle, skill, and experience. Management changes to your selected class are for the good of everyone participating. Please do not be offended!

- All racers must take their turn corner marshalling. Someone will do it for you, you get to return the favor. You will typically marshall right after racing. If you need an exception for medial reasons, first attempt to find someone to sub for you. Failing that, contact the RD and he'll do it. Please do not take advantage of this opportunity.

- Return track transponders promptly. Generally, you will complete your heat, return transponder to the N-Control booth, and move to an open corner marshalling position. The use of a track transponder for the day is a privilege, and we may request your phone number prior to issuing one.

- No yelling at corner marshals. If you become flipped or stuck and no marshal responds promptly, you may call out something like "Help in the middle, please!" You may gas up briefly to attract attention. The race director is also likely to assist. Remember that marshals are human, and your turn is next. Don't crash and you'll never have a problem ;)

- Let off the throttle as a marshal approaches your vehicle. We understand that throttle blips may be required to keep highly tuned engines running smoothly, but marshals don't want to grab wildly spinning tires, nor be showered in dirt.

Racing at N-Control requires not only payment of race fees but also an agreement to effectively marshal assigned race(s), typically that following the racer's own. "Effective" marshalling includes reaching a marshalling location in a timely maner, refraining from smoking/drinking/eating/phoning during such duties, and marshalling to the best of one's ability. We can't allow violations of this requirement to continue unchecked from anyone, since they impact not only our enjoyment of the race day but that of every racer in attendance. Aside from medical exceptions this identical requirement is met by all racers in attendance, and an ongoing issue from anyone will necessarily result in some form of suspension from the facility.

Younger participants and spectators are welcome at N-Control! However, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian of at least 18, and are completely the responsibility of said person. Please ensure the appropriate behavior of your minor throughout their visit to our facility.

- Minors must drive their vehicles from the driver's stands. No exceptions.

- No person under 13 may corner marshal. This includes racers under 13, the only exception to "all racers must take their turn corner marshalling" above. Exceptions selectively granted by Paul only.

- We all like playing in the dirt. Youth, however, should do so away from the race tracks. It is particularly important to stay back from the high berm at the end of the front straight on the offroad track... someone crouched behind this berm may not be visible from the driver's stand, and cars can easily lauch fifty or more feet from this berm.

- Please explain appropriate behavior in this environment to your child, and correct any deviations as they occur. Children are the racers of tomorrow, but may not understand aspects of the sport older participants know intuitively.

If you're new to R/C (or just to organized R/C racing), you have one special rule:

- If you don't know or don't understand, just ask. We're all friendly folks, and like knowing more than someone else!

Rules specific to the offroad tracks, and the classes relevant to these tracks, may be found under the Offroad section of this site.
