All rules will be enforced by Race Steward.

General Rules for racing:

1. You must be courteous to all other drivers, spectators, and employees. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from the premises.

2. The Hobby Shop Raceway will supply you with a controller. If this is not to your liking, you may purchase your own controller, so long as it does not exceed $100 in retail cost. Professor motor 1/32 controller, or Parma single barrel controllers are acceptable. You will be responsible for ensuring that it plugs into our track system.

3. You must be on time to your Turn Marshall Post. We will not wait to start a race for you, and penalties will be imposed as noted in the “Turn Marshalling” section.

4. You must be on time to the starting grid for your race. We will start without you, and you will not be allowed to make up that race.

5. You must be signed up, and have your race fees paid prior to the first qualifying run. We may not be able to accept any late entries. If you are going to be late, feel free to call ahead, and we will place your name in the appropriate class areas. We will not wait to start races for you, but you will get to race that evening. You must pay your race fees prior to running your first qualifier.

Qualifying and assignment to a Main.

1. You will have a chance to post your best qualifying time. You will run in each lane as with a group of 4 racers in that class. Each lane has a number, and you will be assigned a starting lane number on your qualifying run. The next time you run, you will go up one lane. Thus, if you started your first run in lane 2, your next run is in lane 3, and so on.

2. The top 3 from each class will then run together in an “A Main” race. The next 3 together and so on till all racers are placed in a main. We start in the lowest main (slowest group of qualifiers), and the winner of that main moves up to race against the next fastest group of qualifiers. So theoretically, the last place qualifying car can end up winning the “A-Main” race, and win the racing for the night.

3. The top qualifier in the “A-Main” will have lane choice, with the second highest qualifier in that main receiving next choice, and so on.

Turn Marshalling:

1. As cars routinely leave the track’s slots, there will be “Turn Marshalls” for each run. After completing your qualifying or Main race, you will then be required to “Turn Marshall” for the next group of racers. If you are unable to “Turn Marshall”, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.

2. As a lot of smaller children will be racing, we will have a minimum height requirement (48 inches) for “Turn Marshalling”. As with amusement parks, this is for their own safety, as well as the safety of others. If a child does not meet the minimum height requirement, it is the responsibility of the parent to find a suitable replacement.

3. “Turn Marshalling” is such an important part of racing that we need to install a penalty for anyone failing to Marshall a race he/she has been assigned to.

1^st time is a warning, and 1 lap or 10 seconds removed from the best time.
2^nd time is elimination from that class of racing for the day/evening.
3^rd time is expulsion from the premises.

4. As a Marshall, it is your responsibility to get the cars on the track quickly, and on the correct track. There will be one warm up lap for all cars. During this lap, notice the cars in your assigned area, and the lane that they are in. This will greatly assist you in placing the cars on the track in the correct lane.

5. Failure to consistently Marshall correctly will result in elimination from a class.

6. Remember, the car you Marshall this round, may be the person who Marshall’s you in the Mains. So do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

What if you feel someone is violating the rules:

1. Inform the Race Marshall. They will then “Tech” the potentially offending car. If that car is found to be within the rules, you owe the accused racer $1 and an apology. If the car is found to be violating the rules, that person will be disqualified, and may be expelled from racing for a period of 3 weeks.

2. Remember, this is supposed to be fun, don’t ruin it by cheating!
