Revised Rules for 2012-2013 Season


Hi Racer's:

On Tuesday the 25th of September, we altered the rules for only pro drivers.

Novice will remain unchanged.

After a long discussion, we have decided that the the pro's will run alternating bodies as follow's 2 weeks of NASTRUCK, 2 of weeks Outlaw, 2 weeks of NASCAR in that order.

I will let you know when we run each body but the schedule is as follows for the first 6 weeks of Pro races:

NASTRUCK- Tuesday November 6th
NASTRUCK- Tuesday November 13th

Outlaw- Tuesday November 20th
Outlaw- Tuesday November 27th

NASCAR- Tuesday December 4th
NASCAR- Tuesday November 11th

If we miss a race for some reason, we must get 2 in a row of each body so, the following Tuesday we will race the body that was supposed to be raced the week before.

After Christmas break, we will be changing the motors from open Death Star motors to Falcon motors.

On the Tuesday we start Falcon motors, we will also reset the body rotation back to Trucks and begin a points championship. One points championship for Trucks, one for Outlaws, and one for NASCAR. 

I will let you know how the points system will work closer to the beginning.

Here are the updated rules:
