TENDER VEHICLES
Competitors are reminded to ensure they are aware of their
requirements when in control of tender vehicles. Please
see the sections listed below with particular note to speed
limits, passengers and the wearing of helmets on motorbikes.
4.18.1 TENDER VEHICLES
Any vehicle apart from the race vehicle required by a compet itor
in the paddock area shall display the Competition Number of
the race vehicle. Apart from Junior Dragsters for which they are
properly licenced, persons in control of any motorised vehicle
within the confines of the event property are required to hold a
provisional civil driver’s licence as a minimum.
Other than vehicles recognised as track, tender, service, official,
or vehicles specifically designed for handicapped and reduced
mobility occupants, only production two, three or four-wheel
motorcycles or scooters capable of civil registration or golf
buggies will be permitted in any area of the venue.
Where two-wheel motorcycles are used, a helmet meeting AS/NZS
2063 as a minimum must be worn by all riders and passengers
where the vehicle exceeds 10 kph.
All vehicles must have a working head and tail light and an
audible warning device. The use of “pocket” or “monkey” bikes,
non-motorised scooters or other motorized, wheeled devices is
prohibited. Every tender vehicle is required to have a loaded,
serviceable fire extinguisher in their possession, carried in the
tender vehicle or otherwise available for immediate emergency
use. Dry chemical type extinguishers AS/NZS 1841 (1.2kg / 2.5lbs
minimum size) are recommended.
4.18.2 TENDER VEHICLE PASSENGERS
All crew members must be seated completely within the vehicle cab
or truck bed of tender vehicles. It is prohibited for crew members
to stand on bumpers or running boards or ride on tailgates, open
or closed. All cabin doors must be fully closed while the vehicle is
in motion. Failure to comply will be considered an unsafe working
practice and may result in disqualification. The onus to ensure
that this requirement and all associated responsibilities are met
lies with the relevant competitor. See also General Regulations
