Judging Video:
QMA has posted the official judging video. It is recommended for all
club members. Recommended only for DSL and Cable internet users. Click Here.
Be advised of the following mistakes and clarifications.
- Loss of Goggles (should be removed from DVD - no goggles).
- Loss of Water (should be removed - not allowed to use water cooled engines).
- Charging exiting the turn (Should be labeled Rough Driving - NOT charging when exiting a turn).
- Changing
of your line between the flags (green to yellow or green to checkered)
you cannot change more than once (This is for clarification - it is
correct on the video, make sure your judges are aware, it is not twice
a race.).
- Immediate
DQ for 4 tires below speed breakers (Note: the video only shows the car
with 2 tires below - it is supposed to be 4 tires).
- Video
says you are not allowed to signal drivers. (It should say no signaling
to driver under green - you may signal to your driver under yellow).
- Video
states liberating of fluid and loss of safety items under yellow is a
DQ (That is incorrect -- liberating of fluid or loss of safety items
under GREEN is DQ, under yellow is not a DQ).
