Rocker Cover Racers
Using the "2021 P76 Nationals Rocker Cover Racing Rules"
1. This is a fun event. Any person found to be taking it too seriously will be soundly ridiculed.
2. Any constructor who enters a protest will be automatically disqualified. Oh, that's a bit harsh. Okay, they'll be given a stern talking to, asked to smile more and lighten up a bit.
3. Cars must incorporate a rocker cover that will fit a P76 cylinder head.
4. Cars must not have any form of mechanical propulsion or steering. Gravity is your friend!
5. Cars must weigh no more than 4 kg.
6. Cars overall length shall be no more than 61cm. (Note: The staging lane is only 61cm long.)
7. Cars must have 4 wheels, (one per corner) each no greater than 15 centimeters in diameter.
8. Any car leaking fluid or foreign substance on any part of the track will be disqualified.
9. The course shall consist of two divided lanes, approximately 50cm wide. With a track length of between 6-8m.
10.Cars front wheels (track contact point) must be behind front starting gate.
11. Cars will be run in heats of 2 cars each. The first racer to have its front wheels (track contact point) cross the finish line is the winner. If neither racer makes it to the finish line, the racer going the furthest in its lane wins.
12. A points scoring system will decide, which cars to advance to final round.
13. While the judges' decision is final, all bribes will be gratefully accepted.
14. Constructors wishing to wear racing clothes, fireproof overalls, helmets, etc., do so at their own risk of being laughed at.
15. Downforce wings, spoilers, air dams, etc. are all permitted. They probably won't do any good, but we will all get a good chuckle out of them.
16. Sponsorship logos, racing stickers and car names are all encouraged.
17. There are no more rules. So get cracking, but above all, have fun!
