Finish Radio Duties
|
Please read the Start Radios page in conjunction with this,
general information
given there also applies to finish radio.
|
|
Finish Radio will need to tell Control:
|
|
When each Official Car comes out
The time out of the zero car
The time
and number
of the first car out
The time
and number
of the last car out before any stoppage
The time
and number
of the first car out after any stoppage
The numbers of the last 3 cars out, time of the last and total of cars out
|
|
Note: in big rallies, and even some smaller ones these days, Control will need
the last 5 cars. Listen to the details start gives and give the same, last 3 or
last 5
|
|
|
Keep a note of cars stuck in stage so you can balance the figure out with the
figure in.
In fact, you can impress everyone with your efficiency if you end
your finish details with "Car x still in stage at Post y"!
Not only is it
efficient but it gives Control information from a different source to check
against the Control sheets.
|
|
Before the radio check you will need to check on, and if necessary help
towards, the readiness of the finish timing crew.
|
|
During the radio check tell Control if the finish crew is ready to run, if they
are not ready give an estimate of the ready time. And tell Control where you
are going before you race off to offer help to speed up the ready time!
