GENERAL OVERALL CLASS RULES
(Applies To
All Classes)
UPDATED: Nov. 30, 2023 |
 |
In the event of a timing system
malfunction or operator error,
the race will be re-run. |
 |
Racers
cannot touch or cross center-line. |
 |
Racers
cannot touch or hit the guard walls. |
 |
First
infraction gives win immediately to opponent
(First
IS Worst) |
 |
If the randomizer drawings picks a racer for
any round of competition
a bye-run, that is
the only time during that event the bye-run
will be
awarded to that racer. |
 |
If a racer battery is
overcharged at tech, racer has only 1 attempt within 2 minutes to
bring the battery down under or at the
(8.44 Volts) limit. Racer must remain in the tech line
in an attempt to accomplish this. If battery is tested second time and
overcharge is still displayed, racer will receive a DQ for that
specific round of competition. |
 |
REGISTRATION:
Track Fees & Entry Fees BOTH Paid at the time of Registration.
No Refunds.
If a driver has to forfeit his/her entry that money he/she paid
in stays in the pot for the overall racers payout.
Racer may use a borrowed car or back-up car if needed.
REAR TIRES / STAGING:
Rear tires MUST be sitting on the ground once you signal you are
set for your run. No holding the car up and sitting the
car down during the race directors count. Basically you can not be
touching the vehicle at all once you signal you are set.
Rolling rear tires back & forth on the ground while staging is
prohibited.
Once a racer signals
to the tree operator that he/she is "set" or "ready" that racer is
committed to that run. If the car rolls forward or backwards breaking
the stage beams due to driver error the racer will receive a DQ for
that specific round of competition.
VIDEO REPLAY:
Official RCHRA video replay will ONLY be seen, reviewed and
determined by RCHRA officials first. ONLY the 2 drivers affected by
the video replay decision will be allowed in the tent / tower to see
the video proof replay of the call.
If a video needs to be looked at... that call (to look at the video)
will come from the race director.
The only video used for making a determination is the official RCHRA
video.
BYE RUNS /
COMPETITION SINGLES
Racer must at least make an effort during a bye run or a competition
(basically at least take the tree).
Racers do not have to launch under power. Just take the tree.
BREAKAGE ON THE
LINE / STUCK ON LINE
If you get stuck
or break on the line, do not touch your vehicle until you see the full
run from your opponent. You must at least receive a reaction time to
be eligible to advance in the event of the above mentioned. If you do
not receive a reaction time, that's considered first is worst and your
opponent wins regardless of what his / her vehicle does down track.
If you get stuck or break after receiving a reaction time and your
opponent causes any infraction, you WIN... as long as you do not touch
the vehicle before your opponent causes any infraction.
If both vehicles
get stuck or break after the the tree has dropped and both receive no
reaction time, the race will be re-run. |
|
