Reflex Racing Club Series
We have been working on the series for a while, read about it on its own blog page.
If you have any questions, post here. Please keep the conversation related to the series only, so as to build a good reference thread.

Hi Christian, how long do we have to get each six race series completed? Is there a minimum on the entries per series at our track? Thanks

Freakin' Awesome!!!
This is one of the best ideas I've seen yet for racing a series on a club level . I'll be talking it up at High Speed Hobbies this Thursday during our normal racing . Hopefully we'll be participating .

Love the idea!
One question... Our stock class have as limitation: 2wd, 70T hand out motor, and no VDS body... this 3 things are the limitations.. so we can see a cooper or porshe running against Lemans, if the racer choose it...
Can we still participate?

Well, the intention is to get the clubs out there and create a network that will promote each individual club. Our vision is to create an interactive network of sites that focuses on the local race results from week to week. We want to keep the focus on individual clubs first and foremost.
With that, I would say that there would have to be a 6 participant minimum to receive the 50 dollar gift certificate for the winner. But 3 participants is enough for the club to receive the discount/
The minimum amount of time to complete a series would be 6 weeks, since there is a maximum of 1 race date per week, per series.
Doug, before we can make a decision, try to convince your club to run a theme. Present them with the guidelines set forth by the series and see what they think. I am sure that given the prizes, you can probably all agree on a theme. Maybe the first series you run is Mini Cooper and later on you can run LM. Part of the whole series thing is to get those Autoscales off the shelf and on the track. Running purely standard classes is kind of what we are doing already. We want to do things a bit differently in order to get people excited about this, and hopefully increase participation.

For me personally this is the strength of this series and something that should have been tried a long time ago by everyone, so kudos there...since it's noted additional themes can be created then if we did run the series locally i would like to see a vintage Porsche club race theme based on 86mm 934rsr bodies. back in 2007 one of the guys was running a solid red one for kicks in practice and wow, talk about killer cool.

Interesting concept, Cristian, running body-selective Stock classes. That's a good thing for spectators, a club could run multiple Stock races a night and change the bodies up every time to keep things interesting.
Overall looks like a good basic ruleset, I hope more clubs adopt it for non-RCP-based Mini-Z racing as well!

Brian, we thought that by having the specific theme races, we can appeal to more outsiders that can look at the different, cool 'Z bodies that got a very large group of racers into the scale in the first place. It's something different as well, so that might interest additional racers.
As for different classes on the same night. This would not be allowed under the current rule structure, but what could be instituted at a later point is that a race series for a club can run a different category at each series date. This would certainly have an IROC feel to it.

time my friend... just time and energy. i would have done this years ago but i'm struggling to keep up with all the forums, admin jobs, etc. we actually started a blog site years ago, mini-zracing.com. it never took off as blogging just wasn't big then. that and i never had time to devote to it.
i'd like to discuss using the RR series as a basis for our local group racing. lets discuss at the mimi's. i'd like for us to join this.

Mike:
blogspot.com is the place to get it done. It is super simple and pretty quick. If you are adventurous you can customize it, otherwise, there are templates.
We are just using this format, because it is the closest thing to a good website template that is free and also easy to use.
I am glad you guys are interested. I would love to see more people join in.
