Tech/Rules Meeting Summary

Please read this. Important Information.

Tech: We WILL be conducting tech this year. We will tech all cars before the first race. All cars must have weight and displacement displayed on the hood as stated in the current rules. If you are planning on running with us this year please do not show up without this on your hood. You will be asked to put it on before weighing. We will tech other items on the cars, ride height, safety inspection, wheels and tires, air cleaner (cold air ducts), carbs, ect.... If you are aware that you car will not pass the items listed please correct these before the first race. The top 3 cars will have to pass a brief post race inspection, I say brief because I know everyone wants to get on the road as soon as possible. There is a protest rule if you feel a car has an unfair advantage please use this rule to make an OFFICIAL protest. We have decided as a group to use car owners and crew members as tech officials. We will use members from multiple teams to eliminate favoritism. There are 4 volunteers, Billy Littrell, Brad Schaffner, Jordan Hunt,  & Sid Lewis. These will be our primary tech officials if 1 or 2 cannot attend we will use other members to fill in. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer for a fill in should the need arise.

Payout: It was decided at the meeting that the payout will be divided evenly among the drivers that take the green flag in the feature. The Bolivar speedway payout can be found in the forum under All OMSRA. We will try this for at least one full season and determine if it helps build car count.

Rules: There were 2 issues brought up at the meeting.

1. Tires. It was brought up that our rules did not exclude the use of tire softeners or tire siping. The rule has been corrected. Tire modifications are NOT allowed.

2. E85. This is an interesting idea for our series, there are modifications required for doing it. The fuel cost is considerably less. At this time no decision has been made we need to gauge the interest on this more. This could be a niche for us to explore. Should the outlaw minis go "green"?

Membership Dues: This year there will be a deadline on membership dues. MARCH 31st is the deadline. Make sure you fill out a form and mail it in with your money. The penalty for a late entry is $20. The late entry money will be added to the payout for the first race. If you would like me to mail you a copy of the form give me a call. This saves money for the club if I don't mail one out to everyone. 816-204-5518
