Division Restrictions

The Novice Group 10 class is restricted to inexperienced racers who do not have extensive series racing experience.** Any driver in Novice 10 who wins this championship will not be allowed to compete in this class.

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 more than three Championships in any combination of classes, not counting the Junior/Novice Group 10 class, will not be allowed to enter the Senior Group 10 class.

All classes, except for Novice Group 10 and Senior Group 10, are open to any competitor

General Guidelines

Profanity
Profanity on the part of the racers or corner marshals will not be tolerated.
The race director will issue a warning to 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.'
• Failure to marshal when called shall result in a 5-lap penalty for each heat and possible disqualification from the 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
• A marshal’s number one priority is putting de-slotted cars back in their correct slot

Race Times • Registration for all classes opens at 7:30 AM. Please sign up early for all classes to make the day run smoother

• 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

• The racer may not work on the car until the intermission just before returning to track
