Notes from the RaceSaver Sprint Meeting
Sunday, November 4, 2012
- There will be at least 2 practice
dates before the first show for Racesaver Sprints only… More may be added. The 2
dates that we have reserved as of now for this are Saturday, April 6, 2013, and
Saturday, April 13, 2013.
- Purse Structure: The same total purse that
was given to the 360 sprints in 2012 will be given to the RaceSaver Sprints in
2013, except it will be distributed more evenly. The purse will be guaranteed
for 2 years. Non-qualifiers will receive $100. To view the new purse structure,
please visit the rules section of our website.
- Point Fund- There is a
minimum $5000 point fund in place already. There will also be a point fund from
IMCA.
- There will be 17 weekly races in 2013 at Eagle Raceway
-
IMCA RaceSaver Nationals will be held at Eagle Raceway at the end of the season
in 2013. It will be a Saturday and Sunday Show. The purse for this is not
designed yet.
- You must have an IMCA membership License to race. Cost of
Membership- $100. This provides insurance, monthly newsletter, and track points
fund.
- There will be a phase in period for 360s. Anyone not conforming
to the RaceSaver Rules may run their car at Eagle Raceway for purse ONLY, as
long as they put a “track provided” 1 and 1/16 restrictor on top of stacks and
use RaceSaver legal Valve Springs. (This may change if it is not equal
competition)
- To Run for track, regional, and national points, you must
conform to all IMCA RaceSaver Rules. The Phase in cars for 2013 will not receive
IMCA points. They will only receive track points for lineup procedures.
-
Sprints will be the premier class in 2013. They will run last for heats, and
Features. We want all sprint drivers to be recognized by face. There will be
many driver autograph sessions, and other things done for all Sprint drivers to
interact with the crowd weekly.
- There will be possible sanctioning at
other tracks for special events.
Q and A with French Grimes (RaceSaver
Rep)
Can you run any size wing/ wing angle?
You may run any size wing,
at any angle… However it will not be cockpit adjustable.
Why 35 durometer
RR tire?
Regional director or Track director may pick the tire… Tracks
should decide based on surface etc… (Roger is doing more research… The Tire
durometer will probably change)
How do you go about getting engine
sealed? When do you do it? Where etc…?
Your regional RaceSaver Tech will seal
your engine (Roger Hadan is this Region’s Tech) You must call your regional
inspector to make an arrangement to do so. Roger Hadan’s phone number is
402-238-2595 if you need to make an arrangement.
The Engine must be sealed
before the your first race. Try to get the crank weighed ahead of time by
inspector before you build so that the tech can make his mark on it if the crank
is close to minimum weight.
Engine will be presented with 1 head off. Valves
will be weighed. Heads will be checked for RaceSaver Stamp and serial numbers
and all other inspections will be done before it is sealed.
Then the cars
will be teched weekly at the track’s discretion.
These are the notes I
thought were important. If you have any notes you would like to add to this that
you took from the meeting. Please feel free to post below. Also If you have any
other questions about RaceSaver rules etc. French Grimes or Roger Hadan can
answer them.
Roger- 402-238-2595
French- 540-923-4541
