We
all want to have fun – and the best way to do that is
follow the rules!
All
Drivers must first sign up before you are allowed to be on
the track, this is strictly enforced
It takes 5
people to make a class - show up with 5 rc turtles and
people to drive them and race!
No
Drugs or Alcohol allowed on the property.
This is a non-smoking facility.
General Rules -
Legal
battery voltage is 8.40, any battery measuring 8.44 or above
is illegal, the .04 difference is allowed for calibration
discrepancies or other variances.
If found to be over voltage 8.44 - 8.49 you will be allowed
to run off the pack prior to the start of the race, with one
re-measurement of voltage, if it is still over voltage that
car will not be allowed to compete. The rules infraction is
allowed one time per season. The second time over voltage,
OR if the excess voltage measures 8.50 or above that driver
will be done racing for the season. Keep in mind .01 is not
arguable and this rule will be strongly enforced.
Penalties will be issued for not
being on the track to Marshall. Any car not on the tech
table after there respective heat will be disqualified.
All oval Cars are rolling starts. Electric Mains are also
rolling starts.
No car will be driven at any time in reverse of the track
traffic. If this occurs, a one-lap penalty will be deducted
off the driver’s best time. The use of reverse is illegal in
all classes.
Turn
marshals may not work on or repair cars.
It is the Drivers responsibility to bring the vehicle to
the Tech table immediately following each race. Failure to
do so will result disqualification.
Any violation must be corrected BEFORE the car is raced. If
a car passes through "Tech Inspection" and a
technical illegality is over-looked, the vehicle is still
illegal.
Any
racer may front $50 for tech inspection for any car on the
track - if the car is found to be legal the $50 will be forfeited
and given to the legal racer.

Rule and Tech Procedure
We are a paragon
free facility. Paragon or tire additives with wintergreen
oil will not be allowed. Previous paragon odors can be
removed with HOT water and dish detergent. You may have to
do this a few times. Tires will not be allowed to smell of
any type of mint. All tires must be wiped completely clean
with a cotton rag and go through tech, even prior to
practice. If a car goes onto the race track without passing
through tech that car will not race on that particular day,
regardless of when this occurs, including practice. If your
tires are not wiped dry to my standards, I will wipe your
tires clean with a rag prior to being placed on the race
track.
1. All tires must
be dry.
2. All tires must be completely free of any mint odor.
