Mini Stock Meeting in the Books.

The Mini Stock meeting was very well attended at Buster's Bar and Grill on Wednesday Night. The meeting went well with discussions on new rules and some new decisions on how to police the class. There were discussions on the new spec tire, new racing rules, new points rule, and introduction of a new horsepower to weight ratio being set for the class. The progress made last night to the mini stock class was long in coming but I know we are headed in the right direction. The only way to completely fix all of the issues with the class is to go with a Neon Mini Stock class. We are not prepared to do that at this point, due to the cooperation and understanding of all of the drivers who attended this meeting. We cannot address every issue, but we can get close and I think that is what we have done together. I want to thank every driver there for their input and
help with trying to make the class fair and fun.

A summary of meeting is as follows:

1. Spec Tire - For 2011 drivers may use either the Falcon Azena, the Azena K or the Goodyear tire. It is our intention to go with only the Goodyear for 2012.

2. Rookies and others will be put to the back until Tim is satisfied there are competent to move up.

3. New spin rule for top three - offender goes to the back - driver in front gets his spot back.

4. Line ups - We will pull pill for starting position for heat 1, reverse order for 2nd heat, and for feature we will invert field by points with the Rookies and others starting behind the points leaders.

5. Points Championship will be based on all races completed, minus 1 race which will be your mulligan. If you missed a race for whatever reason, take your mulligan. Missed the feature due to car issues, take your mulligan. No bonus points awarded this year for perfect attendance.

Rule Changes for 2011:

1. All cars will be dynoed at Lentech Motorsports prior to the start of the 2011 season. Based on the result of your H.P rating you will be assigned a new weight for your car. The H.P/ weight ratio has not been decided on at this point. There will be a minimum weight set for some vehicles. After you have your numbers set, we will put several seals on the car and your weight requirement will be on your windshield. If you make changes to your car that affect H.P, you will be required to have your car dynoed at your cost ( $ 100.00 ) to reset your numbers. CCS reserves the right to re-inspect any car at anytime, and if we check you numbers and they do not match with a 5% margin of error, you will be disqualified and lose all points up to the date. You will be fined $ 200.00 which must be paid before you come back. Any driver may challenge another drivers numbers and have them sent back to the dyno with a deposit of $ 200.00. If found illegal, you will be reimbursed. If found not illegal, you will lose your $ 200.00.

2. All cars now have the right to change or modify your existing ECU unit. Once you have your car dynoed, you will not be allowed to change it. If you change it, you must return to the dyno before coming out to race.
The only exception to the rule is that if a car blows an engine and did not have time to have the car dynoed again prior to  the next race night, a 1 week extension will be considered. It must be discussed with me prior to your arrival on Wednesday Night.

All other rules in the rule book still apply.We will keep you updated if threre are any other changes.
