RIGHTO.........
The Quality Signs 2016 NZRCS NZ 540 RC Stockcar Teams Championships will be run on Saturday 14th May, in The Big Green Shed @ 26 Aratiatia Road, Taupo.
Unfortunately because it is a warehouse, the is LIMITED power, so if you have alternatives please bring it along, and if you bring a Generator, also bring a LOOOOOOONG extension so it can be run outside, no Gennys will be permitted inside the building *cough cough*. ALSO hearing protection will be available as inside noise will be quite loud at times..... H&S :-) And while we on that subject, CLOSED IN SHOES PLEASE. No Jandals argh !!! This is NOT from us, cause I love my Jandals, but it IS a site requirement. OK lets get on with it.....
This is a NZRCS sanctioned event, so NZRCS rules will be adhered to, Rule 12.6 Teams Rules MOTORS CAN ONLY BE 27T STOCK SILVER CAN MOTOR as per NZRCS Rule book Rule 10.
PLEASE NOTE - An amendment has been made to the Rule Book by the NZRCS Exec committee to make 12.1.b2 Rule more workable for National Teams events. It reads as follows..... After a Teams last race of a NZRCS Teams national championships, all cars are to be left on the track, and 6 vehicles will be randomly selected from both teams for Re-Scrutineering.
Confirmed Teams for this event are the Taupo Tornado's, BOP Redbull King Busters, Palmy Panthers, BOP Jim Beam Bunnies, Stratford Stormers, Stratford Scrappers, Hawkes Bay Hornets, HB Heretaunga Horrors, and the the Taupo Terrors. Race format will be a FULL round Robin, and program will be posted soon.
THE DOORS OPEN AT 8 with racing starting @ 10.30ish, so please be earlyish to get your team cars sorted, and scrutineered. This will be done by each Team.
The track surface is semi smooth, typical warehouse concrete
Grid positions will be up to the teams, with the winner of a coin toss before the race deciding if they want Pole, track position and which end of track the team will stand. Team spotters are allowed, ideally the 6th man, or a member of your club.
ALL races will be 15 laps, overall winner decided on overall points. 1st 100, 2nd 40, 3rd 25, 4th 20, 5th 10. If equal points at end of day, a runoff of 3 cars per team for 4 laps will decide placings.
The RED LIGHT rule will be discussed during drivers briefing, IF decided upon, If your car get rolled, THE RACE WILL BE STOPPED, and if its still rolled when the RED lights come on and the buzzer sounds, IT WILL BE REMOVED.
Protests will be received, @ $20 per Protest, refunded if upheld. This must be lodged to the Race Director in writing within 10 minutes of the results being posted. A protest committee will be formed during drivers brief containing a fair representation of clubs attending.
AMB Transponders will be used, so it is YOUR responsibility to make sure it is mounted correctly and WORKING. It is the Hosting Clubs responsibility to make sure the transponder system itself is working correctly. Race controller is NOT responsible if a transponder does not work during racing, unless there is a glitch in the system There will be time to make sure they work before the meeting starts, please use this opportunity. If you require a HANDOUT transponder, it will cost you $5 for the day, paid on the day, again it is YOUR responsibility to make sure it is working correctly.
Racing will be controlled by computer voice and lights. Green GO, Red STOP. When you hear the siren during racing, it means STOP, remembering there is a NO STOPPING zone near transponder bridge, move forward away from bridge, then STOP.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING........ more H&S........... The inside of the track is a TOTAL NO GO ZONE. Competitors are NOT permitted anywhere inside the track fence at ANYTIME. THE ONLY PEOPLE ALLOWED INSIDE THE TRACK ARE THE RACE OFFICIALS. Cars can be given to track officials doing the grid, or placed on the track and driven SLOWLY to them. Teams Captains to advise the officials of grid positions.
Well that's enough for now, hope to see some great action, remember keep it clean and keep it fun.............. Oh almost forgot, if you don't want to work on your cars on the floor, it may pay to bring a table please :-) Any questions ask away below
Cheers
