Rules clarifications:
Since Kyosho doesn't sell most wings separately we will be allowing aftermarket or wings from other bodies in GT and LM as long as they are mounted no higher than the uppermost part of the roof and within the confines of the body - no part of the wing may be behind the rear most part of the main body nor wider than the widest part of the body. Of course the wings original to the body and mounted in the original location are excluded from this rule. The Reflex lexan wing fits easily within this rule.
The MantisWorx wings, any version, are legal in the F2 class.

Please post up if you or your offspring will be running the Sportsman Class, it's only five bucks and you get the chance to win really cool stuff from our sponsors! The same stuff the GT, LM and F2 racers are after. There is a very good chance you will walk out with more than your moneys worth on top of a fun day of racing. Also note that we will have loaner transponders available free of charge, thanks to MBMZR.
Also, anyone running the regular classes please post so that we may add your name to the driver's list. For racers new to our events please post last name as well or if you are on the lam and don't want your name revealed in public you can PM me. We will be awarding framed certificates to ALL drivers with finishing positions in all classes entered, as the MB group did at CC3. I need the names early so that your name will be printed on the certificate rather than written in crayon!

I have at least six drivers from the DC area to add but I'm not sure of the classes they will run. Gary T. Sr(fishermen) Gary T. Jr., Saint Arpus, David B. Bill S. and Melvin. If I can get the classes I will add them accordingly.

I have attached a new schedule to the first post, start time for the first Sportsman Qualifier is now 10:00AM. This will give us more time to get motors handed out and some extra practice time for those coming for Saturday only. There is plenty of time between heats, 5 minutes, which can be trimmed when possible... we should still make the 7:30 end of event time even with the very positive expected attendance. We ask everyone to please be ready for their heat and for marshalls to be in place promptly so we can maintain a tight schedule.

If y'all put Myssie on the mic it will get done She is great at keeping it moving without adding too much pressure. Our last race had something like 10 heats. We started at 11, and were done before dinner time, with three rounds and all 8 minute mains. I think the trophies took us like 30 minutes to get ready (and then some time to had out) and every one was still out the door before 8.

Just attached a PDF of the CC Handout Motor Rules to the first post. The equally prepared 70T motors used for the stock classes belong to the Carolina Cup and must be returned on conclusion of the event. The rules just covers the random draw, replacements and such. We feel the CC handout motors have been a great equalizer in the stock motor classes. Go fast and keep em fast.
I also changed the minimum weight rule in GT2 and F2 to read "pre" rather than "post" race. It is legal to pick up your crash damage parts (i.e. Formula car rear wings) from the track to meet weight post race should it be checked. Parts used solely for ballast are excluded, make sure ballast is securely mounted and fastened. Ballast is typically mounted to the chassis or pod, parts not usually shed during a race! We should also state that the chassis must run the session with the MAJORITY of the body attached. If the body comes off, it must be re-fit as soon as possible without impeding other race traffic. Tape is recommended!
