OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL RULES
The Mr. Gasket King of the Heap
AKA Daily Hunter
King of the Heap is a multi-discipline team based race program for “Heap” $1000 cars.
KOTH will consist of:
Auto – X
Rally – X
Track portion
1/8th Mile Drag time
Points:
Segment times are added for a total cumulative time of fast laps across the 4 segments. The lowest total time wins. Event finishing position will be awarded points for the Championship.
Each car will have 4 drivers – No driver can have their fast time be applied to more than one discipline per event. Who’s time is used is at the teams discretion. We will try our best to get everyone laps in all segments, however segment fast times as to the rules are the responsibility of the team, not the series. So all-4 drivers can put a time in for each event, but each driver must represent the fast time for no more than one of the four disciplines.
Rules:
• Vehicles should be valued at $1000 – with a $1500 claimer! Daewoo to Bugatti if you show up with it, we assume its worth $1000
• Vehicles must have all body panels
• Vehicles must be OEM 2WD
• Vehicles must have a windshield, oem or ¼” + Lexan
• Vehicles must have a seatbelt, OEM or 5 point +
• Vehicles must use the Spec tire – Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring NT
• Vehicles cannot use a tire wider than the OEM base model section width & wheel diameter unless smaller than 195 Section width and 15’’, which will serve as the base tire size. Aspect ratio is open for all tires.
• OEM jack and jack stands (thumbs up for safety) are the only acceptable means of wrenching on a heap at NCM MSP during the event.
• The Pontiac Aztec is the only unclaimable vehicle.
• Vehicles must meet a 95db at 50 ft sound limit. IE OEM Exhaust. Sound Violation will result in event DQ and forfeiture of participation in the remainder of event. Tire squeal should be the loudest thing we do.
• Vehicles must not leak fluids excessively, stewards discretion
• SA2010 or newer helmet, long pants, closed toe shoes required
• Events will be run rain, shine, or snow. Stewards Discretion
• Convertibles are allowed – but you’d be dumb.
• Points are awarded to the team, not the vehicle, so a team may show up with a different vehicle/drivers each event.
• Cars with high rollover risk are prohibited. IE Ford Exploder, Stewards Discretion
• Drivers can drive for a maximum of 4 teams, but can only submit ONE fast segment per event regardless of team. IE No AutoX or TT ringers.
• Nitrous is not allowed in any form or fashion on participating vehicles.
• Battery cannot be relocated and must be securely fastened in OEM location
• Pre-Registration is First Come First Served, we don’t care how many points you have, if you forget to register that’s on you.
• Not everyone is guaranteed to drive every segment. Time and Daylight are limited, and we just want to go home anyways.
• Transponders will be mounted on the rear bumper of all vehicles. Replacement cost of damaged or not returned Transponders is $499.
A Team may only bring 1 car per event. No backup cars, ringer cars, or purposeful failures.
$20 fines will be levied to teams who ask questions that can be found in this rulebook.
Claimer:
• Claims will be submitted at the end of each event.
• If a claim is tendered, the car MUST change hands.
• A claim will represent a trade of vehicles – and $500 in cash - $250 to the team of the claimed car, $250 to the series pot.
• A vehicle can only be claimed once per event.
• If multiple claims are submitted for the same vehicle, priority goes to the lowest finishing team that completed all segments of the event!
• Claims cannot be tendered with non-running equipment.
• Claims are subject to stewards discretion.
• All parts go with a claimed car. No removing parts from cars that are claimed, or about to be tendered for claim.
Everything that happens during KOTH is at Stewards Discretion. I reserve the right to enforce or not enforce anything as I see fit, as well as issue penalties as my imagination sees fit.
Loopholes will be slammed shut, as they are found, severe penalties will be rendered if not reported before exploited.
If a team does not have enough drivers for all segments, or a driver is DQ’d, the slowest submitted time of the event for the segment will be duplicated and applied. Or I just might throw a bunch of 9’s at you, we’ll see how I feel.
