Texas Sizzler question

Post by Chrys Reinhardt » Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:55 am

For the "B" class GS race- is it required to have ramps for the start?

"A" class will have ramps but moving them between A & B class might cause delay.

Thanks to those who know and can clue me in.

OldnBroken,

It appears it is optional, and as such will be an option.


According to the rules, Section 11.2 for a prime race the use of start ramps is optional,
• For PRIME, BASIC, PLAIN status competitions:
• Variations shall be stated clearly in the contest sanction application.
Variations shall be declared to the racers on the day of the race (e.g. in a Racer’s meeting or announcement).
• Variations are allowed to alter the nature of the race.
Examples of possible variations: Push-start vs. ramp start; A-B-C bracketing system to expand the # of racers entering head-to-head rounds, taking 4 runs on a single-lane race instead of 2 runs

Chris,

GS is a single lane jam.

The Outlaws have TWO ramps.

One for "A" start, one for "B"

Nothing will have to move.

Thanks Zack and Wes.
Don-Eddy asked the question last night and Pete asked me to find out.
So I guess they might not know all the answers.
But thanks for your confidence in the Outlaws.
