Aurora Dog Mushers Club Race Track Etiquette
KEEP THE HOLDING AREA CLEAN
The outgoing trail is on the left of the timing tower. Blue signs mean the tail goes
straight, red signs on the right mean the trail turns to the right and red signs
on
the left mean the trail turns to the left. Be aware of other teams and wait until the
chute is clear, before you begin your run. Time your departure so that you are less
likely to be passed by another team.
DO NOT DRAG YOUR BRAKE OTHER THAN FOR QUICK STOPS AND DO NOT RIDE YOUR MAT!
If you need to slow or stop your team, drag your feet or use a mat and teach your
dogs "whoa." If you cannot control your team without dragging your brake, run a
smaller team.
BE CONSIDERATE, COURTEOUS AND ALERT FOR OTHER USERS!
Before stopping your team look behind you and stop in a straight and highly visible
area so that approaching teams are aware of your presence.
If a team coming up behind you calls "trails", stop or slow your team and allow the
other team an unobstructed pass. Do everything you can to help them pass. Don't let
your dogs jump into another team or bite other dogs. Dogs that have been bitten or
frightened by another team during a pass will often refuse to pass. If your dogs
move across the trail and block the passing team, MOVE YOUR DOGS!
