The driver is called to move to the end of the longest line of the cars at the end of that caution period.
A combined road course, colloquially referred to as a "roval" [8] [9] (a blend word combining "road course" and "oval") is an oval track racing facility that features a road course in the infield (and/or outfield), that is usually linked to the oval circuit. This type of course makes for a multi-purpose track, and allows the facility to be used ...

[ 1 ] Track racing uses an artificial lure (usually a form of windsock) [ 2 ] that travels ahead of the greyhounds on a rail until the greyhounds cross the finish line .
For finite planes (i.e. the set of points is finite) there is a more convenient characterization: [2] For a finite projective plane of order n (i.e. any line contains n + 1 points) a set Ω of points is an oval if and only if | Ω | = n + 1 and no three points are collinear (on a common line). An ovoid in a projective space is a set Ω of ...
The word pedigree is a corruption of the Anglo-Norman French pé de grue or "crane's foot", either because the typical lines and split lines (each split leading to different offspring of the one parent line) resemble the thin leg and foot of a crane [3] or because such a mark was used to denote succession in pedigree charts.

Process [17] Represents a set of operations that changes value, form, or location of data. Represented as a rectangle. [17 ...
A stadium is a two-dimensional geometric shape constructed of a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. [1] The same shape is known also as a pill shape, [2] discorectangle, [3] obround, [4] [5] or sausage body. [6] The shape is based on a stadium, a place used for athletics and horse racing tracks.
