Division Restrictions

The Junior Group 10 class is open to racers 13 years old and younger at the September Race (may turn 14 during the season).

The Senior Group 10 class is intended to be a mainstream class to allow drivers with less winning experience to race with their peers. Any racer who has won three Championships in any combination of classes, not counting the Jr. class, will not be allowed to enter the Senior Group 10 class.

The 4 ½ Stock Cars, Outlaw and GTP classes are open to any competitor.

General Guidelines

Profanity
Profanity on the part of the racers or turn marshals will not be tolerated.
• The race director will issue a warning to the competitor of their unacceptable behavior.
• Any second infraction will result in a five-lap penalty.
• Further infractions will result in disqualification, possible ejection from the raceway.
• Repeat offenders may be directed to leave the event and may be barred from future NECC events.
• Please remember we are racing toy race cars. Let’s all have fun with it.

Marshalling
You MUST corner marshal when called upon, even if you feel it is not 'your turn.'
• A marshal's number one priority is putting de-slotted cars back in their correct slot.
• You may NOT use any electronic devices (ie: cell phones, ipods, etc.) while you are a marshal!
• Failure to marshal when called shall result in a 5-lap penalty for each heat and possible disqualification from future series races.
• This penalty will be imposed when the race director feels it is the best time—next race, next month, whatever.
• A mutually agreeable substitute marshal may take your place, but you must notify the race director.
• Corner marshals may not leave their positions to work on someone else’s car unless they get a substitute before they leave. Failure to do so will result in a 5-lap penalty for the person whose car you are working on.
• Marshals should only make minor, immediate repairs to cars while at their positions (fix braid, un-crumple body, etc.).
• If the work on the car is serious enough to impair a marshal’s ability to do his or her job, the car must be given to the driver or his/her pit crew.
• Volunteering to marshal when you are not required does not excuse you from marshaling when you are required.

Race Times • Please sign up early for all classes to make the day run smoother.
• Your tech sheets are your registration sheets. Please have them filled out and marked as paid by the raceway before handing them in.
• Registration for the Junior Group 10 class will close at 8:15 AM and racing will commence at 8:30 AM.
• When registration opens, handout motors will be made available.

SportsmanshipN.E.C.C. racers range from age 4 on up. Skill and experience levels vary as widely as the ages. All racers are expected to behave in a sportsman-like manner throughout the day.

Tech• Tech for each class will close 20 minutes after completion of the prior class as announced by the race director.
• Cars not in tech by this time will not be allowed to run in the race.
• Once a car has been tech’ed it is considered impounded.
• Any racer working on a car once impounded will be “DQ’d”.
• The racer may not work on the car until the intermission just before returning to track.

Lane Change Cards • Lane change markers must be used any time a car is removed from the track during a lane change.
• The penalty for the first offense is the car will be placed at the farthest point from the lap counter.
• A second offense will result in a 5 lap penalty.
• A third offense will result in disqualification.
Lane change markers can be no smaller than a credit card
