need to save this so i can check it and ask questions as they arise
my son and i are HELLA excited ( me more than him tbh lol) to enter into this race series.
*The racecourse layout and event format will be discussed in the prerace driver’s meeting. Each participant is required to be present during the prerace driver’s meeting. Any questions can be addressed during this time regarding the event and scoring.
• Drop qualifying and run a random bracket or seed based on points after the first race. • Each participant will qualify their truck(s) on each lane of the racetrack. The best time will be used to seat the truck into the racing bracket. Any truck that does not receive a qualifying time will be given a DNF (Did Not Finish) and be placed into the bracket accordingly. The truck with the fastest qualifying time will get lane choice in eliminations.
• Once a racer has “staged” his/her truck at the starting line, the other racer has one minute to stage their truck.
• A five-minute grace period will be allotted only if the racer encounters a problem at the starting line. Each racer will be allowed to receive only 1, five-minute grace period per race.
• If the truck moves across the staging plane before the green light is illuminated, this will result in a false start. This is an automatic DQ, and the other racer will advance automatically to the next round
• Trucks are required to come into contact with obstacles (i.e. crush cars, jumps, or corn box) with the FRONT TWO tires of their truck. In races including corn boxes, your truck must stay in the box for three quarters of the boxes length. Track Marshaling is not allowed. If your vehicle flips over and can’t be saved by its own power your run is done.
• The truck may not hit or come into contact with any part of the timing system or its barricades during the run. If this happens, it will result in a DQ. (when in use)
• When trucks are competing and both completes an illegal run, a re-run will take place with trucks changing lanes. If only one truck makes an illegal run the opposing truck will be granted the win only by a legal pass.
• In the event that all four tires go into the opposing lane, the truck will be disqualified. If only two tires cross, and you are able to recover, you are safe. If a driver runs into the opposing lane and makes contact with or inhibits forward motion of the opposing truck in any way, it will result in a DQ.
• In the event that a racer with multiple entries in the same class should have to race themselves, each truck will run one timed lap on the track in separate lanes. The truck that records the fastest lap time will advance to the next round.
• In the event that a winning competitor cannot make it back for the FINAL round of racing, the competitor they beat will be inserted back into the bracket.
