DSCC NASCAR CHAMPIONSHIP 2011 / 2012 RULES

1.0; PRINCIPLE

Models of modern looking NASCAR cars or worldwide similar (e.g. Rockingham by Scalextric or SCX, looking similar to the original cars externally and unmodified internally, except to reassemble/tune in the optimum manner.

2.0; SCOPE

2.1; Open to any modern SCALEXTRIC or SCX NASCAR cars built from January 1988 onwards EXCEPT ‘sport’, ’race’, Pro’ and any other up rated editions and SCX SRS-2 chassis based NASCAR (these are unacceptably small)

2.2; If a car was modified during its production run any such modifications may be used on earlier models of that car. This is particularly complicated with SCALEXTRIC NASCARS as several production runs of a single car type have been released, with chassis evolution (e.g. Ford Taunus started as in-line then went to sidewinder type 1 then sidewinder type 2).

2.3; The overall rule is that production is stated to have ceased when the basic chassis changes. This means that there have been three production runs of the Ford Taurus and you cannot take an in line Taurus chassis and fit a type 2 sidewinder magnet to it

2.4; Decisions of eligibility will be the responsibility of the race director and subject to Club Rules.

3.0; BODYWORK

3.1; Basic bodywork should be unchanged from the original model (cosmetic changes such as paintwork are ok).The overall dimensions of the car body/chassis should be identical to the original model. Body float, by loosening body attachment screws, is allowed. The track and ride height must be unaltered from original.

3.2; In the interest of promoting variety in appearance you are allowed to take the body from one car and fit the chassis from another. However, if you do this you must adjust the weight of your modified car to be exactly the same as the unmodified car by adding weight to the passenger seat.

4.0; RUNNING GEAR

4.1; Replacement to the running gear (basically any moving part) should be the same type as originally supplied with the car. If originals are no longer available, modern mainline replacements of similar performance (i.e. no up rated components) may be substituted, subject to ratification by the Race Director. Tyres may be glued and sanded true but the original tread should be visible at some point around the entire tyre width, or if no tread existed, an original wheel/tyre combo should be supplied for comparison. In this case, tyre height must not be altered by more than 1mm.

4.2; The slot guide can be modified by trimming off plastic or by minor vertical adjustment (up and down) to optimise its position in the slot. No other alteration in the dimensions of any component is allowed.

4.3; Some SCX NASCARS were fitted with RX42B (19,000 rpm) motor and some with the RX42 (18000 rpm). Both versions are allowed in all allowed SCX models. 

5.0; MAGNETS

5.1; Only the original magnet type fitted to the original car production run may be used. No alteration in type, positioning or number of magnets is allowed unless such alteration was available with the original car. Note that some NASCARs have alternative locating positions for magnets – these can be used for relocating the magnet – and SCX magnets are adjustable for height – this is allowed.

6.0; CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS

6.1; Eight rounds, (one every four weeks), four in each direction on the circuit. The season starts at the first race of November 9^th 2011.

7.0; POINTS SYSTEM
7.1;Winner = 9; 2^nd = 6; 3^rd = 4; 4^th = 3 points

Fastest lap of the race = 1 point

Overall fastest lap of the night = 1 point

Total lap count for the night will be added up and points awarded in the following order Winner = 12; 2^nd = 10; the 8, 6, 5; 4; 3; 2; 1.

7.2; Each driver can only count their best six results per championship. In the event of a tie, most race wins. If still tied, most 2^nd places etc.

7.3; Races are decided by chance, by the shake of the dice plus.
