ANE-AMCA                          October 1, 2006

Hello ANE -AMCA Racers,

        First of all, we want to thank you for a great ROC V.  It was our biggest and best ROC ever!  We are already thinking about how to raise the bar even higher for ROC VI…so stay tuned!!! 

Now it’s the time of year to start thinking about the new ANE -AMCA racing season for 2006-2007.  Going into this new season there will be some changes. Speedy Lang has stepped down as Race Director of the series and we have agreed to take over his position. Speedy will stay on in an operations capacity, managing the race line-up, keeping track of the points and assisting with tech inspections.  

        We’ve added a new class this year called 1/24 Vintage (Falcon Flexi). This class was started at ROC V, and it was such an overwhelming success, it will become part of our monthly program.  Additionally we will have a separate 1/32-Day race program that will run on Sundays in October, November and January (see the schedule).  We will schedule additional races into the winter and the spring as interest dictates.  

            We have made several other changes in the rules in order to bring them closer to the other series races in the area.  Among those rules changes includes the elimination of any cutting or modifying of the chassis front wheel uprights or any cutting of the pan.  This particular rule change will go into effect at the November race (Jaffrey Speedway) to allow a little more time for racers to comply.  Additionally, in order to make this change a more “digestible” Need For Speed Raceway will take $5.00 off the price of a new Champion Turbo Flex or JK Cheetah 7 chassis if you turn in up to 2 modified ones (as above) now through November 1, 2006 .  

We will continue to run a point series this year with a slight tweaking of the points rules. There will be 5 different Raceways participating this year’s points program of 8 Races.  There will be one (1) drop and the race at Grand Prix Raceway in March will be a double points race!!!  (The ROC warm-up and ROC VI will not be point’s races, but payouts will be made at this final event in July.)  

This year, we will also have a clearance rule that requires that all cars start out with a minimum of 1/32” (.032”) clearance at the rear of the chassis.  Additionally, if a car is dragging excessively on the track during a race, that car may be black flagged requiring correction before he/she may continue the race.  

There are several other rules changes, so please read all the rules carefully.  Like we said earlier, the changes that have made were done in the spirit of trying to be more consistent with the other race series in the area.  So in closing, we are looking forward to a great year of ANE -AMCA racing and hope to see you at the upcoming races.  If you have any questions or suggestions email or call us.

Thanks,  

Ralph Griffin & Joe Mazzulo
