All races can and do run ahead or behind schedule. Please arrive in plenty of time before the scheduled race time to allow for scheduling issues.
There will be a 30 minute break between races for each class to practice. Tech will open after 15 minutes into the practice session. At the end of the 30 minute practice session the track will be turned off and tech will be closed. All racers must be in the tech line by the time it closes or that racer cannot enter that race. If a car does not pass tech and tech is closed that racer has one period of 2 minutes to correct the violation.
There will be a 15 minute time limit before each main, if qualifiers were necessary. Racers must use the same chassis and body that was used in the qualifier. The track WILL NOT be on during this time. Racers must have their car on the starting line before the 15 minute period ends. After 15 minutes, tech will be closed. Any racer participating in the main must have their car teched by a Fldiv2 official before that car can participate in the race. If a racer does not have their car to the starting line by the end of 15 minutes, they must wait until the next heat to enter the race.
All classes will be randomly sorted into qualifying races with the top eight lap count totals moving into the main for that class. If you win your qualifying race, you move to the main regardless of your lap total. If there are 14 or fewer racers, a sit out format will be used. If there are 15 or more racers, qualifying races will be used. There will never be more than 12 racers in any qualifying race.
Example: 20 entries will have 2 qualifying races of 10 racers each with 2 sitouts.
25 entries will have 3 qualifying races of 8 racers each. (1 qualifier will have 9)
All races will be run using a 2 minute on and 2 minute off format.
The total of all races will be tallied at the end of the racing season. Racers will be allowed 2 drops in the regular season. A disqualification (DQ) cannot be used as a drop.
Points will be awarded using the following format:
1st 16 9th 8
2nd 15 10th 7
3rd 14 11th 6
4th 13 12th 5
5th 12 13th 4
6th 11 14th 3
7th 10 15th 2
8th 9 16th 1
All racers who enter a race will be awarded five (5) participation points. Points will not be awarded for any top qualifier.
If there is a tiebreaker the following will determine the winner.
1) Finish place in the last race.
2) Most first place finishes
3) Most top three finishes
All cars/racers are expected to comply with these guidelines. All drivers are responsible for the legality of their equipment. There is one car per driver per class, and one driver per car per class. Any officer of the Florida Division II can clarify any rule that is in question or being interpreted improperly. The Florida Division II officers reserve the right to uphold any interpretation of a rule.
Width
All cars may not be more than 3.25 inches wide at any point. Round head body mounting pins may not extend beyond this width. Other type body pins such as glass head or T type are not allowed.
Clearance

Guide Flag
One guide flag or pick up device per car.
Body
Designs should resemble full size cars. Manufactures are urged to maintain scale proportions. Variations are allowed to conform to state of the art practices.
1) Paint All bodies must be fully painted and opaque so as not to see the chassis through the body when sitting on the tech block. The sides of the body must be painted except for wheel wells except for Proflexi and Boxstock 12. They should be detailed to resemble full sized racecars. Exhaust pipes, bodylines, interior stacks, mirrors, and decals are optional.
2) Numbers All cars must display three numbers of reasonable size and position.
3) Interior All cars must contain at least a 3 color minimum, suitably painted, 1/24th scale, three dimensional driver with helmet, shoulders, arms, and steering wheel mounted in original cockpit position at all times during the race. No paper drivers are permitted.

5) Wheel wells Wheel wells must be transparent so as when viewed from either side of the car. Partial view of both of the front wheels must be seen.
6) Body openings The chassis must be completely covered by the body and air control when viewed from above, except for the cockpit openings or USRA legal body openings (such as accurate representations of vents, scoops, etc).
7) Except boxstock 12, no air control allowed.
Air Control Devices
1) No part may exceed 2.5 inches in height, measured from the tech block surface. Any air control devices cannot be opaque.
2) Side dams may be a maximum of 2.5 inches high at the rear wheel centerline and continue to taper making them a maximum of 2 inches high at the point 3.75 inches forward of the rear centerline. The same taper may continue ahead of the front wheels.
3) Must have front edges taped and outside corners rounded in a manner suitable to avoid injury to race participants and spectators.
4) May affix any decals or markings on any air control surface but cannot be opaque.
5) The diaplane maximum length is .500 inches. Corners must be rounded.
6) Rear spoiler cannot be opaque, although suitable decals may be affixed.
Parts Replacement
Any component may be replaced during the competition except the original chassis and body. Any racer found to have switched chassis or body will be disqualified immediately.
Axles/Bearings
All cars axles may not extend beyond wheel edge. Any steel axles are allowed in all classes. No lightweight, hollow, graphite, or titanium axles allowed. No ball bearings allowed on axle and/or in the motor. Any axle oilite bearing may be used, but no polymer bearings.
C can motors
May interchange can, endbells, and hardware between different approved C-can motors.
Commercial Availability
Major components for group and restricted racing (motor, motor parts, chassis, chassis parts, and bodies) must be readily available to all participants, sufficiently far enough in advance before the race event for all participants to be able to compete on an equitable level. Commercially available means that the product must be readily available through retailers, participating tracks and a minimum of three National USRA member Commercial Distributors at least 30 days prior to the race event. All new items will be published in the Florida Division II newsletter and have an approval date. The number of pieces required to be available is 1,000 pieces for Box Stock 15 motors, tagged armatures, restricted chassis, and restricted components and bodies. A product will be considered to be no longer commercially available after production has ceased: products in this status which have been approved for competition will continue to be legal for Florida Division II competition for a period of no longer than 2 years after production has ceased. All products, which are considered to be commercially available and restricted products, must meet retail specifications and must be sold at standard industry discount through approved dealers. Any product that is restricted in retail price by the USRA may be adjusted in retail price according to the annual cost of living, a maximum of 5% annually. These items include Group 12 and 15 armatures and motors, and Box Stock 15 Chassis.
Race Fees
All race fees will be $12.00. Of which, $9.00 will go to the local track and $3.00 will go to the Florida Division II for box plaques, trophies, t-shirts, and to cover expenses incurred by the organization. These expenses include Newsletters, Rule Books, Awards, Paperwork, and Special Functions that include food and so forth. Spending is left entirely to the Florida Division IIs Treasurer with feedback from the other Officials. All expenditures will be shared with any racer at any time. It is every racers right to understand the finances of the Florida Division II at any time.
Protest Procedures
Any racer has the right at any time to protest a race or racer. The racer must protest the race or racer to any Florida Division II official before the next race starts. The decision of the protest must be satisfied before the next race begins.
Any racer who suspects another racer is not within specifications may post a $20.00 general protest fee. This would allow any racer to protest any other racers car, or any part there of, for $20.00 per car. The car, or any part there of, would then be torn down, but not burned to check the legality of all components. The protestor can protest the car at anytime. Once the car, or any part there of, is protested, it would then be marked and torn down at the end of the race. Upon inspection, the $20.00 protest fee would go back to the protestor if the car, or any part there of, is found to be outside of legal specifications. The racer would then be disqualified immediately. If all aspects of the car were found to be within specifications, the $20.00 protest fee would be given to the racer whom was protested for rebuilding fees.
Racer Classification
Any racer may enter any class with the following exceptions:
1) Amateur drivers for both NASCAR and GTP may enter the Expert races during the same weekend. Expert drivers will not be able to race Amateur NASCAR and GTP. Amateur NASCAR and GTP will be run with a breakout. Breakout for 2003 will be .2 second higher than the 2002 season and will be posted 1 month in advance on the fldiv2 web site.
2) Any driver that is sponsored, a manufacturer, a distributor, a track owner, a paid track employee, or officer of the Florida Division II may not race Amateur classes.
3) The Florida Division II has the right to move any racer up to an Expert class as the officers deem necessary.
4) Amateur racers that finish in top 3 points in a class for the year, must move out of that amateur class the following year.
Black Flag
The Race Director is authorized to black flag any car that is dragging, interfering with other cars or continuously de-slotting due to mechanical problems. Upon being black flagged, the driver must bring the car in for repairs immediately. If the driver does not correct the problem, the driver may be black flagged again. If the driver is black flagged for a second time, the driver is immediately disqualified.
Lane Change
Following each lane change, cars must be returned to the track where they stopped. Putting a car back on the track in an advantageous position will result in a warning, and later a penalty if this persists. When the car is moved from the track it is the drivers responsibility to know where their car stopped. Drivers must use lane change cards to determine stopping position. Do not rely on just your memory. The marshals should notify the Race Director of any driver that is advancing their car. When going into a sit-out heat, the driver should write their name on the white lane sticker and attach it to the side of the track. The car must then go directly to the race director for impound during the sit-out. At the end of each race, no drivers should pick up their cars; The cars will be picked up by a Florida Division II officer.
Un-sportsman Like Conduct
Un-sportsman like conduct on the part of any driver or turn marshal will be subject to disqualification at the discretion of the Race Director. Verbal abuse or profanity will not be tolerated. The Race Director may first warn drivers, marshals, or pit men if their behavior is unacceptable. Serious or repeated violations will result in penalties or disqualification. Repeat offenders may be barred from future Florida Division II events.
Controller Specifications
Any controller/choke may be used as long as the controller/choke uses no batteries or additional power sources to increase or regulate voltage or amperage at the track braid. Specifically prohibited are voltage multipliers or doublers, transformers, batteries, encapsulated components, and capacitors. Specifically allowed are simple wire chokes and diodes. These lower power but do not regulate. A variable choke operated by the driver shall not be considered regulated. Relays, if used, must be powered by the track current only.
