NATIONAL SLOT CAR SCALE RACING ASSOCIATION
DRAG RACING RULES
NATIONAL VERSION
Revised for January 01 2010 Revised 1/22/2010
________________________________________________________________
Classes to be covered include
heads up, brackets and index. The purpose
of this document is to promote “Fair And Equal” racing for ALL
competitors. If it is not stated in this document, consider it to be illegal.
All sanctioned races will involve SCALE Drag racing slot cars. Slot Car
raceways can use all or part of these rules and regulations without cost
to
the raceway. NSCSRA only asks that raceways follow the spirit of the rules
and keep things Fair And Equal for all competitors. NSCSRA accepts
donations for the use of the rules. Please send those donations to the
address listed in this document. This donation is NOT generally considered
to be tax deductible.
The rules will specify bodies, chassis, motors and ALL parts of the drag
car. Regional differences in parts are at the raceways discretion. All
MOTORS will be commercially available from the slot car raceways only.
Each class will list allowable motors. NOT all allowable motors can be used
in ALL classes. See individual class rules.
Edge Class Drivers will be divided into PRO and NON PRO drivers. Non
PRO Drivers will NOT compete at any level, class or style of car against
a
PRO class driver. A NON PRO driver will be classified by the Raceway as
NON PRO. A PRO driver will be classified by the Raceway. Each store can
determine their own PRO and NON PRO drivers. Once driver becomes a
PRO Class driver, they can NO LONGER compete in NON PRO events. NO
EXCEPTIONS.
Designations for use in some competition will include PRO, NON PRO and
KIDS usage. PRO means a PRO Drag racing class driver. NON PRO means
a NON PRO Drag racing class driver. KIDS Class means 12 and under only,
no exceptions. Please note this is for SOME competition and not all racing.
Light tree will be determined by class. Heads-up, Open Custom, Top Fuel,
Funny Car, Pro Stock classes will use PRO (.400) Tree. EDGE KIDS, EDGE
NON PRO and EDGE PRO classes will use .500 light trees. ALL Bracket and
Index classes will use a .500 light tree. One guide per car ONLY. Car can
be no more than 3” wide at any point. All cars in all classes must be
painted, decaled with a full 3 dimensional painted driver. NO PAPER or flat
drivers allowed. Some classes require blowers, motors and roll bars. Top
Fuel and Top Alcohol cars do not have to have a driver.**
** No commercially available driver is made as of 01-01-10.
Competition Slips:
All racers will fill out competition slips for each car and class entered.
The
competition slips will include all basic information as outlined here.
Individual raceways can create their own slips but must the minimum
information:
1. Full name of Driver and mailing address and telephone number
2. Name of Raceway, address and telephone number
3. Type of Class Entered
4. All relevant car information including motor, chassis, tires, and basic
parts.
5. Builder of car
6. Sponsor of car if any
7. Date of competition
A Factory, Manufacturer, Raceway or any slot car Sponsored racer is
anyone who races for any Factory, Manufacturer, raceway or slot car
Sponsor and receives any assistance in any way from said factory,
Manufacturer, Raceway or slot car Sponsor. From now on we will refer to
this group of racers as Sponsored.
Any sponsored Racer MUST acknowledge himself as such with an
appropriate decal or sticker on each car he or she competes with in any
competition.
Please note: This sponsored driver can compete but is NOT eligible for any
plaques, awards, prizes, cash prizes or Raceway Racing Buxx
(Merchandise Certificate) This same driver can only “audit” the class.
Sponsored equipment Racers will NOT be eligible for any prizes, awards, or
eligible to set records in ANY class except OCWU. NSCSRA does NOT
approve of Factory Sponsored racers in ANY event except OCWU (Open
Custom Winds Unlimited). Raceway can at its option provide a borrow or
loaner car for said sponsored driver to use and compete. Using that car
and equipment said Sponsored racer is eligible for prizes and awards.
However Sponsored racer is NOT eligible for any cash prize money or
Track Buxx. Failure to follow this rule will result in the racer being banned
from any further competition. NSCSRA encourages participation from
everyone. However, bad attitudes, swearing excessively, cheating, illegal
drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol or fighting is strictly forbidden in any
NSCSRA raceway. NSCSRA philosophy is to make all Competition “Fair
and Equal” for all. And ALL racing, competitors and manufacturers or
sponsors will accept and acknowledge this and will adhere to that
philosophy. NSCSRA does not encourage Raceway personnel, owners or
workers to race against their own customers. This is seen as a bad
business practice by rule guidelines and common sense.
For Brackets: Dial-ins must be posted on the vehicle. Upon tech, dial-ins
may not be changed past this point and reminding drivers to check their
dial-ins before staging. The Race Director will make every effort to enter
the
correct dial-in; however it is the driver’s responsibility to check the dial-in
before staging the race car. If a dial-in is wrong DO NOT STAGE!! There will
be no re-runs as a result of a wrong or missing dial-in regardless if it
is
your dial in that is incorrect or your competitors. After first completed
run,
racer can change his dial in. Dial must be put on the car windshield. Race
Director must be notified of change PRIOR to running. IF racer fails to
notify Race Director PRIOR to staging, the original dial in will stand and
no
change can be made.
BYE RUNS: For the first round of eliminations if there are an uneven
number of cars in the round, a bye run will be chosen by the luck of the
draw. Selection will be from slowest bracket dial-in signup to fastest dial-in
signup until the Number ONE the word BYE is drawn. The racer who draws
the # ONE or the word BYE will get the bye run for the first round. This
selection is NOT based on fastest time, reaction time or type of car. This
selection is a random draw for bye run in the first round only.
For the remaining rounds of eliminations, the bye run will be awarded to
the driver with the best non-red light reaction time in the previous round.
If
there is an even number of competitors, no bye run will be given. Once a
driver has taken a bye run, he will no longer be eligible for a bye in other
rounds in the same event, unless all the remaining competitors have also
taken a bye run. In subsequent rounds the competitor or racer with the best
dial in for that round will be given lane choice.
BUY BACKS: Buy backs are available for all classes except Kids racing
classes. You can only buy back into the SECOND ROUND. Notify the
Assistant Race Director and pay your $2.00 (Track choice of fee) buy back
fee. Tell the Assistant Race Director the class you're running, name, and
car number. This buy back fee is CASH ONLY. A receipt will be given to
the racer who elects to “Buy Back” in the second round. The time to buy
back expires as soon as the final call for second round for your class has
been made.
RE-RUNS: From time to time, problems may occur that require a pair or
pairs of competitors to have to be re-run in eliminations. It is at the sole
discretion of the Race Director determine re-runs. The race director will
re-run pairs in the event of computer malfunction or other uncontrollable
circumstances whenever possible. Each situation is different, and will be
dealt with in the most Fair and Equal way for all racers involved.
At times a clear winner can be determined without the need for a re-run.
Be
aware that the practice of re-runs will be kept to a minimum. Failure to
agree to re-run will result in loss of round and round points if applicable.
The track will use the sensor check monitor to insure all sensors are
working properly. If a sensor is found to be defective, it must be replaced
BEFORE the next run. Tracks must have back up sensors and lights if
applicable.
When the track timing system has been determined to be working properly,
we will go to the “Timing Light Sensor” check run.
Timing Light Sensor Check run: This rule does NOT apply to MPH
light. Only to timing light sensor. In the event a car fails to pick up the
Timing light sensor at the end of the strip:
Raceway will run timing light sensor car on that lane that failed to trip
timing light. Should Raceway timing light sensor car pick up the final
timing light the lights will be determined to be working. The competitor
whose car failed the original final timing light with get his timing light
run.
Said car will have one light sensor check run in that lane after track
official/Race Director checks the timing light system as outlined previously.
The run is by himself and not in competition with the other car. If that
same
car completes its timing light sensor check run and still fails pick up the
sensors the car is eliminated as it has been determined to be car failure
and not a timing light malfunction. Then the win is awarded to the other
car
as the original results will stand without re-run.
IF a car completes the Timing light sensor run and picks up the light
sensor at the end of the strip, a re-run then must be made for both cars.
The reason for this rule is to keep competition Fair and Equal. Please note:
If that same car fails to trigger the final timing light again in the same
event
again it will assumed that the car is at fault and no further check or re
run
made with that car. This is to known as the “One and done rule for reruns“.
The issue then will be closed and the event continues. This rule
assures that the track timing light system is working properly. Please note
if a racer’s car breaks, fails to stage or deslots at any point on the track
does NOT warrant a re-run and no re-run is allowed.
STAGING: All competitors will be given one minute to stage their race car.
The timer will be set to start automatically when the 60 seconds expire
whether both cars have completed staging or not. This is adequate time to
clean and re glue the track for all competitors. If one or both cars fail
to
stage, the car or cars that fail to stage will be eliminated from competition.
NO Bye runs will be allowed for failure to stage and race. If a car breaks
after staging and the car fails to complete the run, the racers competition
is
over for that car. No re run is allowed.
RECORDS: Records are set only during competition. IF a NSCSRA National
Record is broken it will be backed up by a second “BYE RUN” by the
apparent Record holder. The backup or “repeat performance verification
run” must be on the same lane and within 2% plus or minus of run set.
Example: The old record was .550 at 90 MPH. The backup repeat
performance verification run must be within 2% of the proposed new
record. Failure to do that will leave the original record in place and NO
NEW
record will be established.
In the rare instance two or more racers have the exact E.T. within .001 the
tie breaker will be the fastest Miles Per Hour (MPH) reading for that
proposed record setting run. IF a tie should still be in question, the racer
who ran the fastest E.T. first in that event will be declared record setter
of
the E.T.
NO records can or will be set in practice. Records are only set in NSCSRA
Drag racing events under current established track condition and track
power requirements with close observation of the starting procedures,
running and finishing of the in competition ONLY run as well as the record
setting time. Establishment of accurate records in Drag Racing (Slot Cars)
is a important part of the hobby. Every effort must be made to maintain
accuracy and validity. Race Director or Raceway Owner MUST verify the
record setting run via email to NSCSRA@msn.com or by mail at the
address listed in this document.
Information in the email and or USPS mail correspondence must include
name, address, telephone number and contact information. An actual
Photograph and NOT digital image displaying the E.T. and MPH with the
backup run should be included for verification purposes. Exact information
about the car, the car owner and the track must be included. Driver must
also be registered with NSCSRA on Scale Racing Community with all
accurate contact information.
________________________________________________________________
Track Power for Drag and Road Racing
NSCSRA approved track power is 16 -16.3 volts D.C. NSCSRA standard for
power using 2 deep cell marine batteries and a battery charging system.
Alternate power is clean 16 volt power supply with appropriate capacitor
or
capacitors.
Road racing is 13.8 volts DC or less. Can be battery or power supply. 1/32nd
scale plastic track racing can be from 9 volts to 18 volts depending on the
track, cars and driver skill level. See 1/32nd scale rules for Plastic Tracks
in
a commercial establishment.
NSCSRA standard for records and competition:
Drag Racing: 16.0 to 16.3 volts D.C.
Road Racing Wooden Track: 13.8 Volts D.C.
1/32nd scale 9 volts to 18 volts D.C.
Conduct of all participants and their friends
Any displays of vulgarity, profanity, and anger are strictly prohibited and
not in keeping with the family atmosphere at NSCSRA raceways or events.
Such conduct is not acceptable for any reason or cause. Multiple displays
of such conduct will result in offending person or persons being asked to
leave the premises. In some instances a permanent ban may be enforced
for said offender. Competitors are responsible for the conduct of all of
their
invited guests including children and adults.
Competitor Cheating
Competitor cheating is strictly prohibited by rule. Violation of a rule does
not for the most part mean the person was consciously violating the rules
of NSCSRA or the raceway. The Raceway will utilize common sense and
discretion when dealing with this issue. An example of this is the racer
used the incorrect Tire size for the car. The racer will be asked to change
the part and re tech. No penalties shall be imposed. See gross misconduct
or cheating for penalties.
Gross misconduct or Cheating:
Gross misconduct or cheating is defined as a deliberate attempt or action
by any participant (including race pit person) to avoid, circumvent or alter
the stated rules as listed.
Examples of this:
1. Retagging of an armature for use in the incorrect class.
2. Opening up of a sealed motor (by tape) to rebalance, retag, advance
timing or otherwise alter a sealed motor. Please note that changing
brushes or springs is not considered altering of said sealed motor.
3. Opening up of a sealed motor other than tape: Some motors like S-Can
or Falcon motors are factory sealed by tabs or other means. These motors
may NOT be opened for any reason. Opening up these motors to rebalance,
retime or otherwise alter this motor will be deemed cheating or gross
misconduct.
4. Use of a non commercially available part in any class other than OCWU.
Usage of ANY non commercially available part is prohibited by rule. All
parts must be commercially available for use by all competitors in any
given class as outlined by rules. ANY competitor found to be using non
commercially available parts will be deemed to be guilty of gross
misconduct or cheating.
Examples of this violation:
1. Usage of any currently produced armature type not available for sale
through raceways and their distributors. Usage of this type of non standard
armature is restricted to OCWU as outlined by rule. This is deemed by
NSCSRA as a deliberate attempt to avoid, bypass or violate stated rules.
Penalty for anyone deemed to be guilty of gross
misconduct or cheating:
NSCSRA does NOT tolerate this type of behavior by any competitor in this
hobby. The competitor or his representative found to be in violation of this
rule is disqualified from that competition or event. The name and pertinent
information of the offending competitor is asked to be forwarded to
NSCSRA. A report is asked on the situation and hereby requested by
NSCSRA from the Raceway Owner or Race Director. That report will be
reviewed for content.
NSCSRA officials will review the case and see if a permanent ban from
competition is deemed proper. The offending person or persons will have
the opportunity to appeal the local raceway decision. IF the violation is
found to be gross misconduct or cheating NSCSRA can or will impose the
“One and Done Rule”. The person or persons will be permanently banned
from ANY and ALL competition at any NSCSRA event or raceway utilizing
these rules and regulations. Raceway at their discretion have the right to
permanently ban this person or persons from their premises.
NSCSRA does not tolerate any conduct like gross misconduct or cheating
as this violates the basic premise of “Fair and Equal Racing for All”.
Factory sponsored, factory employed or Pro Racers conduct
Factory sponsored (FS), factory employed (FE) or Pro Racers are
encouraged to participate in all events. See participation limits by said
racers under rules and regulations. Factory sponsored, factory employed
or Pro Racers are strictly prohibited from selling direct to any raceway
customer. Sales known as “parking lot” sales are prohibited. See “One and
Done Rule”.
ANY and ALL promotional items distributed by FS, FE or Pro racers must
be given to raceway for distribution as the raceway sees fit. This includes
swag (Promotional items), slot car merchandise, or ANY item the FS. FE, or
Pro racer wishes to distribute. The proper credit for those items will be
given to the FS/FE or Pro Racer.
FS or FE or Pro racers found to be violation of these rules will be asked
to
leave the premises and NOT return. The name or names of offenders will be
forwarded to NSCSRA for review. IF it is found to be gross misconduct by
said representative of that Factory, employer or sponsor by NSCSRA,
NSCSRA will have the option to ban usage of all products from said
factory, employer or sponsor. Offending party will have one opportunity to
appeal that decision prior to that action. If the final result of the appeal
is
the implementation of the “One and Done Rule”, the offending party
including the factory, employer or sponsor and racer will be permanently
banned from any and all future competition. The Factory products will be
de-listed (removed) from the approved list and not eligible for any NSCSRA
competitive events. This in no way is meant to ban sales of the products
in
the individual store. But del-listed (removed) usage in a NSCSRA event or
race is prohibited from then on in competition. NSCSRA realizes some may
see this action as harsh. However this rule protects the integrity of the
competition and the participants and is in keeping with the “Fair and Equal
racing for All” philosophy of NSCSRA. Appeals should be forwarded to
address listed and sent to the attention of National Rules Tech Director.
National Rules Tech Director for 2010 to 2011 is James Bronson.
“One and Done Rule”
The one and done rule applies to all NSCSRA events, races or raceways
utilizing NSCSRA rules and regulations. Simply stated: get caught violating
rules and that action is deemed gross misconduct or cheating, you, your
products, your representatives and sponsors are permanently banned from
competition. Offenders will have ONE appeal to NSCSRA for a reversal. If
that appeal is denied, the ban is enforced from that day on and no further
appeal is possible.
This rule in no way should be interpreted as a ban on sales of products by
individual factories, sponsors or distributors. Only as a permanent ban on
their use in competition at NSCSRA events, races or Raceways utilizing
NSCSRA rules. NSCSRA will not allow the spirit of the “Fair and Equal
Racing for ALL” philosophy to be violated in any way.
The following is the list of all approved Motors, tires, chassis and all
parts for the
2010 to 2011. Parts means ALL parts of a slot car. Any additions, subtractions
or
changes to this list can be made from time to time during a calendar year.
However, any additions to this and any other NSCSRA list will be made by
NSCSRA notification ONLY. NSCSRA will notify the individual tracks of any
changes 90 days before the effective date of that change. Manufacturers of
any
new parts not on this list including motors, chassis, bodies, tires and any
other
applicable part must submit these items to the following at least 120 days
before
approval. Once approved the tracks will be notified of approval. Tracks will
then
post the additional parts on the wall or hand out to the racers at least
60 days
before allowing their use. Please note, ALL parts must be commercially available
from the slot car raceways. Any non commercially available part is NOT allowed
in any NSCSRA event. The only exception is the class called Group OPEN
Custom Winds.
Allowable Motors:
Motors and classes will be broken down as to motor usage. Motors will range
from S-16D
to opens.
Motors are class specific so ALL motors do NOT apply to all classes. For
specifics, see
class. Please note, ProSlot can be listed as Kelly, Speed FX or Pro Slot
or both. Not all
manufacturers items will be listed. Only those used or designated for Drag
Racing. Any
manufacturer wanting to add a part to this list, contact NSCSRA@msn.com
NSCSRA Armature Specifications for ALL Drag
and Road Racing Classes
To keep with the “Fair and Equal” policy of NSCSRA all
armatures must be commercially available as described here:
Armature Specifications
Armatures must be commercially available for ALL racers to purchase at Local
slot car raceways and available from a recognized Slot Car Distributor.
Armatures must be NSCSRA approved for their class usage. Only copper wire,
round can be used. Any price or type limit is defined in each class. Combination
or multi strand wire like “litzendraht” commonly called Litz wire in the
U.S.A. is
prohibited. Only single strand copper wire. Wire manufacturers use the industry
standard of .0005 as the guide line for wire. NSCSRA has adopted that standard
also as this is fair and equal for all manufacturers, racers and rules.
For example: a group 20 armature wound with 38 turns of # 27 wire would be
allowed with this standard within .0005 of stated wire size of .01420 or
commonly
called 14 thousands wire. Therefore the armature will meet required
specifications if it measures between .0005 less at .01399 to .0005 more
at
.01470 based on production standards recognized by wire manufacturers.
Magnets must be ceramic NON COBALT or RARE EARTH only. Exception is
Cobalt (Rare Earth Class) Open 7, Group 27 and OCWU.
