     as quickly and safely as possible. You must get the go-ahead from the Flagman to

24 Two laps to go: Should we have a caution after the two to go signal the karts will be

      lined up single file and we will restart the race with a green, next lap white, and final

      lap checkered. The exception to this is, if the Flagman has displayed the White flag

      to the leader, the only flag after that will be the checkered, this may be in conjunction

      with a red or yellow but that will be the final lap. We race to the caution however you

      can be black-flagged for un-safe driving. Red flag means slow down and safely

      proceed to the start/Finish line, line-up will revert to the last completed lap.
