Dwarf Car Association
2020 GENERAL

2020
WSDCA
*UPDATED
February 18,2020
If it
doesn't say it in this rule book, you can't do
it!
The
following are
"COMMON SENSE" type rules. Our objective is to minimize rule changes.
Do not attempt to build a
Dwarf Car without first contacting WSDCA for rule
clarification. No exotic equipment, (meaning unusual or
out of the
ordinary). If a car is built that does not meet the Dwarf Car
specifications, it will not be a Dwarf Car.
Interpretations of or amendment to these rules may be made at anytime. The rules and/or
regulations set forth herein are
designed to provide for the
orderly
conduct of racing events and to establish minimum acceptable
requirements for
such events. These rules shall govern the conditions of all events, and
by
participating in these events, all licensees will be deemed to have
complied with these rules. No
express or implied warranty of safety shall result from publication of,
or
compliance with, these rules
and/or
regulations. They are intended as a guide for the
conduct of the sport and are in no way
a guarantee against injury or death to participants. Check with a
WSDCA official before building a new chassis.
Any new style chassis must be approved by WSDCA officials to be
considered
legal for competition.

**All
drivers will draw pill for
starting positions in heat races. Each driver is
responsible
for knowing when pill draw will be throughout the weekend. If they are
unable
to attend pill draw, they must let a WSDCA official know that it
is ok to draw a pill for them. If they do not do
that, they will be placed in the back of the heat. Transponders
are mandatory and must
be charged and in working order so you may be properly scored and
mounted behind the drivers rear firewall.
Cars
will line up with lowest pill drawn on the pole of heat 1, next lowest
on pole
of heat 2, etc. After the pole
positions of the heats are filled,
the ninth lowest pill lines up on outside pole of heat 1, 10th lowest
pill on
outside pole of heat 2, etc. All positions will be filled according to
this
alternating manner.

stopping to question an official
about your position on the track or you may be sent to the rear. Any
driver who
deliberately rams another car on the track during a yellow or red flag,
will be
Black flagged from that race. Any "rough driving" may result in that
driver being sent to the back of the pack and continued rough driving
may
result in the Black flag for that car for that race. Any driver who
fails to
line up properly when instructed may receive the Black flag.
