All classes go clockwise, turning right except for 1\/10 Scale Hydro which will turn left (counter clockwise).<\/li>\n<li>Each race is started with a 30-second audio countdown, with the race starting as the clock reaches zero.<\/li>\n<li>All boats are required to be in the water by the 20-second mark of the countdown. Any boat not in the water at the 20-second mark will not be allowed to start.All boats are required to be up and moving by the 10-second mark of the countdown. Any boat not running by the 10-second mark will be penalized one lap.<\/li>\n<li>All boats must circle all bouys of the front and back stretch but cannot pass the back centerline bouy before the 10-second mark. Boats are to establish lanes by the time they reach the center bouy between turn 3 and 4. Lanes will be held as boats cross the starting line.<\/li>\n<li>Jumping the gun is a one-lap penalty. Jumping the gun is defined as crossing the Start\/Finish line inside the five second mark but before the clock reaches zero. Crossing the line before the 5-second mark does not qualify as a start, the boat must still fully circle the right hand turn and makes its start.<\/li>\n<li>Damaging or missing a bouy is a one lap penalty.<\/li>\n<li>If your boat goes dead in the water you are required to alert the other drivers immediately and state the location of your boat.
