Default New Index Class

Okie Dokie

After consulting with Impala Joe... I'm instituting a new Heads Up Class it will be The 12.67 in cool weather... Rules to follow.. Anyone got a bitch see Impala Joe or ME index is

RULES For 12.67

1.No hitting the breaks at ANYTIME.. you must make the turnoff Without hitting the breaks.. or run it into the sand!!

2. If your opponent gets crossed up and crosses into your lane you may cross over into his lane to avoid contact...BUT this STILL does not give you permission to Lift so you can cut hard Right & then Left to go around him,.,but this
MUST be done at Full Throttle or you will be DQ'd for Sandbagging..

3.If you want to use NO2 there will be NO SHUT OFF you gotta use all the gas... People WILL be watching!

4. All cars in this class will be required to have parachutes.. & the driver MUST ACTIVATE the chute every run.. but Not before the finish line.. or THAT WILL be sandbagging.. the chute must be deployed after the finish line!

5.If the director ME thinks that his car is running too slow the index is Adjustable to whatever the director ME thinks is reasonable!

6. If the racer in the other lane get a big holeshot on the director ME I have to right & authority to order a Rerun!! .. There is NO appeal process...

7. Paul Z can run in the 12.67 class but he MUST RUN in that class... yes RUN in it NOT DRIVE ANY CAR.. Paul you got that... you gotta run with your little "Feets"

These rules will stand until race day, & I can think of some changes I think may be to MY advantage... also.. the cost to race in this class is $1,000 per race.. the $$ can be given to me in CASH (small bills preferred) No COINS

See this is one of the downsides of a 12 pm start. JP stays up late and misses his medication

I would like to clarify rule #1. You may run into the sand ONLY if you have a plastic pail and shovel and plan to build a sand castle once you exit the vehicle.
