2007 RC Pro State Championship Series
Points System
RC Pro’s State Series purpose is for offering those states a series to promote racing locally. We want to bring big time racing to those racers that haven’t been to many big races. We are also looking to develop relationships with more tracks to be able to have more tracks to choose from for future division races. This series is a laid back series but still has the feel of any national event. We want the racers and tracks involved to enjoy themselves and want to help turn this into a great State series for all states involved.
The State Series for 2007 will be a 3 race series with a state final. Racers will score points in 2 of the 3 rounds and carry those points into the state finals. Points from those races will be added to the points from the finals (which will be x 1.5) to crown a state champion in 5 classes. The standard RC Pro points system will be used.
The following RC Pro rules will apply to all races.
Format and Classes:
1/10th Gas Truck
Monster Truck
Truggyracers.com Truggy
1/8 Sportsman
1/8 Buggy
Entry Fees will be NON-TRANSFERABLE & NON-REFUNDABLE. (NO EXCEPTIONS)
RC Pro Fees:
RC Pro State series will take $5.00 dollars of each entry at each event. This is for both primary & secondary entries. The following is how the $5 is split. $2 to the State Rep for his work, $3 to RC Pro and State Series.
T-Shirts will be provided at the Championship Round to all racers.
Practice:
Each track will be open from 5 to 9 Friday Evening.
Each track will have a controlled practice from 7 to 9 Saturday Morning.
Drivers meeting at 9:20 AM Saturday
Racing begins at 10:00 AM Saturday
Sunday will be our Rain Date for each race. If that doesn’t work race will be the following Saturday.
Qualifying Rounds 1-3:
Entries: These will be 1 day races and will have a 125 entry cap. Once the entry cap is met we will take additional entries for the classes that we need to fill in heats. Each event will have 3 rounds of qualifying using qual-points. The mains will be set by using the best 2 rounds out of 3.
Turn marshalling: All racers will be required to turn marshal the heat immediately following theirs. If a driver can't marshal his race he needs to notify the RD before the races start. (Medical or physical issues only). If a racer can’t marshal it is his responsibility to find a replacement marshal for his spot. If the racer doesn't marshal or have a replacement he will be penalized 1 lap in his next qualifier and then 1 lap in main after that offense. This is an important issue. In the mains failure to turn marshal your event will result in a 25 point loss of total points after the championship round.
Tech: At check-in each vehicle will be teched for: Weight, Width, Wheelbase, & Throttle Return spring. We will also tech the top 5 of each A-Main for fuel capacity at the end of each A-Main. All A-main racers will have their vehicles impounded immediately after the A-Main. Failure to comply will result in a loss of points for that round. If you would like your fuel system teched before the Mains we will be happy to tech it for you. After the races have started RC Pro & the host track reserve the right to tech any vehicle at any time

To be a Monster Truck, the lowest point of the engine must sit at least 1.5" inches above the lowest point along the front-back centerline when compressed (usually the "skid plates").
To tech questionable MTs, remove the wheels, place MT on flat surface, compress the vehicle fully and a ruler (or 1.5" gauge) could be used vertically to measure the engine above the surface.

1/8th Sportsman
The sportsman class will be composed of both 1/8th scale Buggies & 1/8th scale Truggies. We will separate the truggies & buggies within the heats as best we can but the mains will be raced according to qualifications.
We have combined these two vehicles in the sportsman class in an effort to get more participation in this class.
The 1/8th Buggy & Truggy specifications will apply to this class.
For 2007 we are opening up the 1/8th sportsman to 1/8th buggies & 1/8th truggies. We will allow previous Truggy drivers to sign up for the sportsman class this year. However we reserve the right to move you back to the expert class at any time based on your performance. We are opening up this class in hopes of gaining more racers; we don’t want somebody racing in this class just so they can win.
If a sportsman racer’s qualifying times (laps & times) would qualify him in the A-Main of his expert class then he will run expert at the next round
