All competitors will be required to move in the pits while "connected" ( defined at drivers meeting ) on the drivers left to a Team member who will "walk" the kart and driver, under power, from the scales to the Team hot-pit, and then "walk" the kart and driver, under power, from the Team hot-pit to the pit-out. Driver may not leave the pit-out until directed to do so by the pit-out official. Any Team found outside these boundaries will be assessed a 2 minute penalty.

Each Team will be assigned a "hot pit" area. Each pit area will be 10' long by 10' deep. All work on the Teams kart must take place in that pit area, off the pavement.
