Not sure about their track rules. Bring a helmet just in case. Leave everything you don't need at home. Go and have fun first. It takes a little time to understand what's happening. Follow the directions of the starter. After you stage and are waiting for the lights to come down, go when you see the last yellow light come on.

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!

Main thing to remember:
RELAX AND HAVE FUN
You will have a better time if you don't worry about being the perfect racer. Just like was said before, follow the starter's instructions, and go on the last yellow, if you even see the green light, you left too late. Racing is a blast, if you let it.
