Stuff
-Racing line will not be aloud
-Oval race,you will only be able to use auto tranny as manual is banned for that race
-You must run forza wing and bumpers

Cheating
If you are caught cheating ie your lap times faster by 2 seconds then anyone in the room you will be banned from 3 races lose all your points.So yeah if you cheat you will be found out so i'd advise not to do it because i already know 2 people who are and if it dose'nt change there not racing

Flags
Yellow flags:These will be called when theres say a bad wreck or a car thats hurt it can barely move to avoide more wrecks.If you do it on purpose thought and we will know you will miss one race from a ban and will be black flaged 5 laps in the current race.There will be no passing under a yellow flag unless you are given premisson to.Some yellows will alow racing back to the line some won't it depends on track/what happened.If a yellow comes out on the last lap you race back to the line.Onec it comes out you must reduce your pace to 50mph unless its a race back one which will be called as soon as it happens.If you go faster/pass then said you will be black flaged a lap.We will show everone the re start point befor the race so if your the leader you know were to start going and your only aloud to start going at that point if you jump a black flag will be given and also befor hand depending on which track were at you will be aloud to pass to the right/left befor the line but if the car ahead of u is stayin in the right place your not aloud to pass till the line
Red Flags:These will be called out on some tracks depending on how long/short and how bad the wreck is.If your the leader you stop in the next turn and everyone stops behind you till we say yellow is out

Qualify
The frist thing were going to be doing is this.How it works you get 3 laps and then if you get a place like 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16 your in room 1 for the heat race.If you get 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 your in room 2 and if you get 17 or back your going home.

Heat Race
How this works is these will be between 5-15 laps depending on the track.The top 4 from both rooms will advance to the finals and A main and the bottom 4 from both rooms will be in the B main

Races
The races will be between 8-75 laps dependin on which track we will be running.
Comeing back on the track:When you do this make sure your clear or that the people know your going to.If you do this on purpose to make a wreck you will be out one race and lose points

Is this going to be every Sunday?

I work Tues-Sat, then Mon-Fri, so I have a one day weekend and then a three day weekend. On my one day weekends I'm not always free.

Also, want to throw an exhaust mod in there? These GTRs are pretty quiet without them, makes it hard to shift. Even a street exhaust would help, and it wouldn't bump the PI up too much.

Well we'd change dates but sundays one of the only days so far that actully works for most everyone and the exhaust we'll see but i unno bout that

Have you thought about using point drops?

You can basically drop your two lowest points scoring events, if you miss an event or just suck it up in general.

My local SCCA group uses them, and the NASA Spec E30 series I'm going to building a car for this year also uses them.

Just makes the season a little more forgiving.

Here's an excerpt from the actual rule book for NASA:

22.2 Dropping Race Scores
Season points dropping systems are controlled by each Region, and may vary. Each
Region may use any points drop system. If a Region does not publish a season points
dropping system for any given class, then there will be no season points drops for that
class. If a points-drop system is used, it is suggested that the Region use the Default
System [Ref:(22.2.1)] for that class. It is the competitor’s responsibility to check with the
Region office to ascertain what system, if any shall be used.

22.2.1 Default Points Drop System
All NASA series competitors will be able to drop their lowest ten percent (10%) of all
season points-scoring races, unless otherwise specified by the class rules or other
NASA publications. All “zeros” in the season points will be “droppable,” including all
disqualifications; with exception of disqualifications as a result of “non-compliance” or
“cheating.”
