RIGHTO.........
The TAUPO HOBBIES 2017 WORLD 540 RC Stockcar Championships will be run on Saturday 14th October, in The Miro Park Shed @ 79 Miro Street, Taupo.
1st and foremost, THIS IS NOT THE TEAMS AS PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED. Due to no venue earlier in the year this event was postponed, and it has been decided to run this INDIVIDUALS event instead of the TEAMS MEETING
This is a NZRCS NON sanctioned event, in other words its a Black Track race meeting, its a FUN social event with racing as an extra, but even though its unsanctioned, some NZRCS rules will be adhered to, mainly car specs etc.
(If you want to bring a mate to give it a go, and have a spare car, BRING THEM, the more the merrier.
A license is NOT required, this is meant to be a fun event hehehehe)
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*.
CLOSED IN SHOES PLEASE. No Jandals argh !!!
OK lets get on with it.....
THE DOORS OPEN AT 10ish allowing those traveling to get here in time, but I think you should book accommodation for Saturday Night just in case, thats the Host responsibility over with..... ahem ;D ;D ;D
Racing will BEGIN @ 12ish, so please be earlyish to get your car sorted, and scrutineered.
Race Rules are pretty much the same as every year.
This year the Entry fee is $15 PAYABLE ON THE DAY, Im sure everyone that enters will be here :-)
MOTORS WILL NOT BE SUPPLIED, BUT CAN ONLY BE 27T STOCK SILVER CAN MOTOR, as per NZRCS Rules
The track surface smooth concrete, but with the SAND it doesnt really matter....

ENTER HERE.......
Groups will be made up of a min of 10 cars per group, all randomly drawn by computer.
Grid position will also be drawn, so it's not first in best dressed.

The remaining positions available EXCEPT 1, for the A Main group, will be the taken from the finishing positions of a 15 Lap Repocharge race, which will consist of a max of 20 cars(Yehaaa), that had the highest total points out of YOUR Heat. In essence, a second chance to get to the A Main Finals ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't forget THE KENNETH 'REDBULL' O'SULLIVAN WILDCARD entry, will be taken from ALL of the non qualifiers, essentially someone to stir it up,
Grid positions for the repocharge race will be highest points on Pole, 2nd highest Grid 2, and so on......
Points are 1st 20, 2nd 19, 3rd 18, and so on. DNF, 1 point (or on lap position). DNS 0 points.

If your car get rolled, THE RACE WILL BE STOPPED, and if its still rolled when the RED lights and buzzer sounds, IT WILL BE REMOVED. If removed its a DNF, 1 point ONLY. Racing will also be stopped, for special circumstances, ie: safety issue.
If your car is spat out of the track, its a DNF, 1 point ONLY
If your car somehow manages to get stuck on the infield or in the SANDPIT, its a DNF, 1 point ONLY. THIS IS ALSO AT THE DISCRETION OF THE TRACK MARSHALL, they may stop the race and re-enter the car.
The Race Marshall decision is FINAL.
NO Protests will be received, but if you want to give us the usual $20 Protest Fee, who are we to say NO
AMB Transponders will be used, so it is YOUR responsibility to make sure it is mounted correctly. There will be limited time to make sure they work before the meeting starts. Use this opportunity
