Don't know.  IIRC the only posting of new rules (which I guess were preliminary and seem to have been redacted...) stated that trans brake equipped cars had to run in outlaw.  and I don't really know if even the spirit of rule was based on people using a trans brake to launch, or more as it read: just having a trans brake forces the car into outlaw class even it's not used to launch . ( least as best as I recall since I think that rules update post was deleted.)

FWIW the most recent post states
"Outlaw is going to become reality with one additional change and that is Outlaw will be open to ANY car that can run 7.64 or quicker. What that means is if a racer chooses to compete in this class using foot brake, line lock for burn outs, high end rev limiter. shift light and nothing else this is perfectly acceptable. TMCCC does not mandate that a racer has to use any of the aids offered in this class. We do this to hopefully open the class up to more racers. "

My assumption is "Can run 7.64" really means: must run a dial of no slower than 7.64 so if say a 7.70 running car wanting to run that class would be OK but they can not dial slower than 7.64.
and assuming the new rules will say that a 7.65 and slower dialing car launching off a trans brake can stay in King, Super etc. as they were last year

Or course none of the above  really answers your class question of foot braking in a car that physically has a trans brake even though you don't use it. well except for reverse? lol

Congratulations!!

Thank you sir

sandbaggers all... lol

I didnt' attend that race, but have seen Robert pull cars in other races.  Never saw that as a problem, in fact was gratefull that someone was actually pulling cards and strictly pulling cards AND paying attention that same club members were were not ending up racing each other in early rounds. Overally I think it's better having a TMCCC racers doing that than someone that has never done it, or did it once last year. as tmccc ruless and pairing concept is somewhat foreign to most all other types of bracket racing.

Now of course a racer, running in the consolation race, when a racer made it past 2nd round is a clear rule violation, but if a racer is intentionally going to violate such a rule, not sure who or when someone could / should have caught that.  I'd think one quick easy perventer, would be to rule to DQ said racer and remove points from the racer / club for for that race... awarding said points to their opponents / respective clubs. Then the odds of that happening again would be remote....but prob a good thing I'm not in charge of such things lol

Might be a good Idea to have management contact Mike and see if something can be set up. If its' profitable for both, it would probably help Redline  get back up on it's feet n running. TMCCC always had a pretty good turnout for redline, right?

Let's talk about the rules and this might affect what those involved decides to do. According to tmccc rules you must take the tree to get points for that round. Richard that means you will get semifinalist points and the other half of the final must take the tree to get finals points. Keep in mind if you decide to go to Ennis and finish the race the other half of the final must be in agreement or the race is over at Kennedale. Sorry if this seams unfair but this is how we need to hadle this according to the rules.

See ya

BTW to discussion of the rules...
I think we need to change the points system.
There is no good logic to awarding the looser in the semifinals more points than the winner.
and I think points should align with trophy.. not a deal where potentially a finalist gets less points than than the semifinalist (as in the runner up could not take the light in the finals) l

and this sort of thing just points that out.  If a racer that wins in the semifinals then can't race in the finals or both racers can't, say race is just terminated with no completion the current system puts the racers that lost in the semi finials in ahead of the racer(s) that beat them by one point.

So for next year I propose we amend the point rule to not award more points to the losers than the winners, at any point in the competition

Heck easy enough, similar to other elimination rounds the winner and loser of semifinals could get 2 points each. then in the finals give 2 points runner up and 4 points to the winner. that would normally end up with everyone earning the same points as now on a fully completed race
Or increase the spread a bit and in semi finals give loser 2 winner 3  and same in finals..
that way if a race was terminated (aka neither finalist could take the light in the finals) the would be finalists would minimally be one point ahead of the semifinalist  they just beat rather than even with them
or worse yet  vs as is now.. one po
