Transcription: Little 500 Regulations Same as Speedway Rules
When the bicycles begin assembling behind the starting line at 12:30 p.m., a member of the pit crew may remain with the first rider, staying with him until the pace lap if necessary. Immediately after the pack speeds across the line behind the pace car, all crew members must disperse to their pits, the rules state.
Flag Controlled
Communications with the riders will be controlled entirely by flags, as in the Speedway Classic. Be-sides adding a colorful touch to the proceedings, each flag has a definite meaning for the riders. The green flag is the starting signal and indicates a clear course. A yellow flag denotes caution and is a signal to slow down temporarily. Waving the black flag will halt the field or a single bicycle for consultation.
Red Means Stop
The red banner means the race has been halted and a blue flag with a diagonal orange stripe tells the rider another bicycle is trying to pass him. The white flag will be used to tell the leading team it is entering its last lap and the checkered flag signals the end to the race for each of the first ten teams.
Since there are ten major prizes, the race will not he declared officially over until at least that many teams have completed the 200 laps.
At that time, the winning team will advance to the “winning circle” at the judges stand. All other teams must go to their pits until called to the stand if they are to receive prizes.
