RC RACING INFOMATION

GENERAL RULES for RC Drag Racing

HAVE FUN!

I want to go over a few track rules that we are going to have in place for 2012.

1. No smoking. You might be warned the first time, you might be asked to leave the first time. It's not worth losing our track over this matter. We spent a couple months looking for a track to let us to race. It's not only our rule, but the rules on school property.

2. There will be no pitting, or spectating past half track. With some of the cars getting over 80 mph we don't want anything to happen down there.

3. A catch person must be at the end of the track to get your car. Please do not turn the car back around or turn the car towards your catch person, keep the car straight if at all possible. (easier said than done sometimes!) The last thing we want is the car to glitch and come back up the track or speeding towards the catch person. We are asking that the catch person stand up on the curb to the right side of the track until the cars have come to a stop. If you came by yourself, ask a fellow racer or somebody to help you out. They should be willing to do that.

4. Please run side by side in practice and qualifying if possible. We have more and more racers showing up all the time which is great, but single runs only makes qualifying that much longer. I know we all want to get out of there at a decent time.

Nitro powered drag cars are MORE than welcome to compete in Bracket, Comp, Funny Car, and extreme. All Nitro cars must line up to the left side of the groove to keep the starting line as clean as possible.

All cars must be wheel driven! No rockets or anything like that.

All cars MUST have foam tires on the drive wheels. Anything but foam tires will not work on the treated race track.

Safety pull cords!-- All cars in Funny Car, Top Sportsman, or cars with more than 6 cells and run a cobalt or Neo magnet motors must have a safety pull cord!! NO EXCEPTION!!!

ALL Lipos must be a hard cased lipo, and MUST use a lipo bag when charging.

Entree fees will stay the same as they were in 2012.

Single Car- $11.00

Multiple Cars- $26.00

Family Plan - $31.00 (includes 3 family members, multiple cars)

RULES--

I will start with raceway procedures.

Practice will be half an hour, maybe a bit more depending on how fast the track gets set up.

We have cut all classes but Bracket and Pro Comp to 2 qualifying sessions. Bracket and Pro Comp will remain at 3 sessions. The main reason is to save time with an addition of 2 new classes.

We also have cut the B-Sides for Funny Car and Top Sportsman.

All classes that allow lipo- MUST be hard case ONLY and also MUST charge in a charging bag. There will be random checks for voltage as well as temperature.

Consider anything not written in the rules not legal, and anything in-between will be decided by me.

Rules-

Bracket-

Any RC vehicle pretty much. Come race, have fun. 500 tree with a dial in.

Pro Comp-

Any drag specific drag vehicle allowed. Any battery and motor. .400 tree.

We have changed the index from 2.75 to 2.50. The cars will now have a 2.50 index. We took a vote and everybody decided this was a good idea.

Pro Stock-

This will be a new class for 2009, and looks to be very fun.

11" max. Wheelbase, Pro Stock type bodies, 1985 or newer. MUST have pro stock style hood scoop, no blowers, and also a pro stock style wing.

Motor- Any ROAR approved 27 turn stock motor, or 17.5 Brushes
