2. Racing.
a. Before a racer can win by default, they will have to race the highest place lower than the place they are winning. Although if there is no one available in any of those spots it then can become a default win.
• Example: Spots 1, 4, 5, 6 are in attendance. Spot 2 is called out by spot 5. In order for spot 6 to take spot 2 they will have to race whoever is in spot 4
b. A racer is allowed to race the lowest spot above their current spot as long as no racer in attendance is being by-passed. If they win they take that spot. If they lose, they go 1 spot behing the person they raced.
• Example: Spots 1,4,8,14,26 are in attendance. Spot 26 can elect to call out spot 14. If 26 wins they will be awarded spot 14. If they lose they get spot 15

With the new changes it seems harder to climb back up the list if you trailer your vehicle. What was 6 spots or 8 spots for a call out is now 4. It will now take us at 17 spot 3 months to get back into the top 10 where it was before I broke. With the old rules we could have done it sooner. I just do not understand the call out number spot change now all of a sudden since this month we should be fixed. We are only waiting for one back ordered part to come in and a tune.

I kinda agree. Why is it that every month the rules are being changed?

Only if a lot of people show up. With the new rules I think you will be able to jump to 8 or 9 your next time out.

The rules are evolving. I said from the beginning that the rules will have to be tweaked to make it work.

Last month, all wins were default, no one had to race anybody. With the new rules I think we will have more racing. That's what it is all about racing and having fun.

The way the rules are since we trailer I have to make a call out in the thread. with it only being 4 spots it would mean #13 would be our call out. if #13 does not show we no longer have a call out we can make and are stuck in #17 since 14, 15, 16 all didn't show too. We would not be allowed to make the call out to the higher spot at the track. Unless I'm misunderstanding the rules.

Yea I need to get someone else to type the rules so people understand them lol.

Actually you can call-out the next person (in attendance) above the spot you originally called out if the original person called out is not there.

that makes it simpler thanks for clearing it up for me.

Sounds like one way to make the racetegra fall to the bottom without a chance in hell. Unless i'm not reading it correctly.

Yea thats not how it looks. And not the way he said either. The way I took it. If he calls out #13 and 14 15 16 isnt there. Then he gets 13 by default. So you still move up if there is nobody there to race.

Yes that's correct you can just take the win by default if you want, but you can also jump to the next person in attendance if you think you can beat them.

Mike, you get an A+ for throwing the monkey wrench into the TDL.

If you do jump to the next person in attendance and win. Do you get there spot or the spot you called out?

I love you guys, but unfortunately there will not be any more free jumps. It was only a matter of time before some more of the faster regulars got up to the top anyways.

.....You still have some other options. You still get the 2nd call out for driving. You may be able to strategically make the right call out.

Please keep coming. Like I said the rules are continually being tweaked to give us better races, and for us to have fun. That's the only goal lots of fun and lots of racing.

I suck at writing rules, but it is what is meant by part b of the racing section.
