ANE-AMCA OFFICIAL SCALE RACE RULES,
2006-2007 UPDATED AS OF These
rules are for the SCALE RACE DAY program of the Atlantic North East
American Miniature Car Association (ANE AMCA), and are not superseded by any
other rules. Race
Directors for the 2006-2007 Racing Season will be Ralph Griffin and Joe
Mazzulo, available at needforspeedraceway@gmail.com Series
Director will be Speedy Lang available at langsc@mindspring.com RACE
DAY PROCEDURES 1. The track surface will be prepared by being
cleaned and lightly spray-glued (Koford medium preferred). 2. Recommended track power is 13.8VDC, with at least
a 150 Amp capacity. 3. All races will be run as mains. Individual
finishing positions will be determined by a driver’s relationship to all
other drivers in the same class, regardless of main. 4. Qualifying will begin for first race at 5. Cars will be impounded from time of tech-in until
warm-up begins. 6. Each driver will qualify for one minute, in an
effort to complete the most laps and sections (total distance). 7. Qualifying will determine lane choice (top
qualifier first choice, etc.) and placement into specific mains. Top eight
qualifiers: A main; Next eight: B main, etc.
For odd numbers, the fewer drivers will be placed in the lower mains,
which will run first. An equal number of marshals should be used in each
main. 8. The first main will take place following lane choice,
preceded by two minutes of warm-up for all drivers. Until the warm up begins,
cars may be placed on lanes and lane stickers added only. 9. Concours d’Elegance will be judged immediately
prior to qualifying in each class. 10. Eleven entries or less will run a single round
robin main. Qualifying will be optional. Order of sign-up will determine lane
choice. 11. All classes will run four-minute mains. 12. All mains will have a one-minute lane change
break between segments. 13. Ties within a section (including in qualifying)
will be broken by actual stopping positions, as indicated by placement of
name stickers. 14. Profanity or abusive language will not be
tolerated. Remember that we are here to have fun racing “toy cars”! 15. The Race Director may modify the race format
(number and length of mains, etc.) as conditions warrant. 16. The Race Director will
Black Flag any Car dragging on the track, or the track owner can request an
interruption in the race to tech a car for dragging. 17. The Race/Tech director reserves the right to
reject any car or entry from competing. All decisions of the race director
are final. RACING RULES 1. In the interest of emulating 1:1 scale
competition, once qualifying begins, repair of cars must be done only when
the track power is ON. Cars MUST
remain at the track during lane change breaks, except when the car is broken
and already in a pit area. Note: Cars removed from the track within ten
seconds of a lane change are not considered to be “already broken” (unless
damage occurs within that time period). 2. Changing of tires must always take place under
green flag (power on) conditions. 3. During lane change breaks, racers may change lane
sticker, check and lube car, change braid and pins, and adjust body. Only manual work is permitted. No other tools or replacement parts are
allowed at the track during lane changes. 4. Track calls are permitted only for braid
displacement, debris in slot, un-marshal-able cars and lap counter or other track
equipment/power failure. Note: “Un-marshal-able” is defined by the marshal having to abandon his
or her station for more than the short time required to retrieve a nearby car
which may have left the racing surface; Multiple de-slotted cars
in one area or a car on the floor near a marshal does not warrant a track
call. 5. Riders are a track call in Eurosport and GT-12
classes only. 6. The lap counter will NOT be adjusted for missed
laps. 7. If you race, you MUST turn marshal!!! 8. The race director may deduct laps from, or
disqualify any racer not abiding the rules. CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE JUDGING GUIDELINES 1. Detailed paint schemes 2. Enhanced body details 3. Bodies without racing damage 4. Decals enhance appearance 5. Appropriate scale detailed 3 dimensional driver
