Guiding Principles
Cars:
The wooden based things we build and then share with
others. Hopefully the cars will be raced.
The cars may be raced for as long as the owner wants, and PwdRacing is still
having races.
Builders:
Those who build the cars.
Teams:
There
are going to be different classes of Teams.
We will encourage that there be teams in the following classes:
·
Small group teams(<10? builders),
such as Cub Scout Den, Church School Class, neighborhoods, etc.
·
Large group teams (>20 builders), Cub Scout Packs,
District or Division winners teams,
·
Pro-Teams (<= 6 builders), a special group of builders
who want to team up to compete with other teams.
Leagues:
Groups of Builders and Teams that
have a common bond and want to play together.
Points for
teams or leagues may be calculated in various fashions. . .
Averages per member
Total for all members
Best Member's Points for each
event/division/race
Other numerical methods as people come up
with them.
Recognition
will be provided for:
Cars for each “Racing Season”
Cars and Builders for each
race/event for each division.
Builders for Overall for each “Racing Season”
Builders for a Division for each “Racing
Season”
Teams for Division and Overall for each
“Racing Season”
Cars, Builders and Teams for reaching various
life-time point levels
What
can earn points:
Cars for performance.
Cars for design/looks.
Builders inherit points from the cars they
submit.
Builder
Point Limits:
Builders will only earn points for one car in
each division each race.
A builder will only get points from a
car for the first 12 months from when it is first raced at PwdRacing.
Builders can send more than one car if
they like, but only their best performing car eligible for builder points in each
division will count towards builder points.
Builders can only earn 25 points in the
Rookie Division.
Car
Point Limits:
A car can only accumulate 25 points in the
Rookie Division.
A car can accumulate life-time points for as
long as we have races/events.
Points for a car
will be awarded at PwdRacing races/events only.
Testing
your Car:
Since PwdRacing holds
races for other groups there is the possibility that cars
may be raced on one of the PwdRacing tracks on a “test” basis to determine how
they are doing. There will be no points
awarded and the performance information will be provided to the builder only.
Monies:
While it is really doubtful that anyone
will be able to make enough off this sport to live on except possibly doing
product sales it is acknowledged that PwdRacing will incur some costs in
providing services or items of recognition.
It would be REALLY nice if these costs could be covered by others who
are willing to share the burden. When
PwdRacing helps out with a race for a local group and they ask how much it
costs all that is said is that it is a freewill donation. PwdRacing does not charge a fee and has done
several races without getting any donation except the happiness of the racers
and that is the way it will be!
So far, the concept has been that any
donations for the use of PwdRacing resources are applied back into the track or
used to support the scouting program. The
fees will have to cover the costs incurred by PwdRacing, such as recognition
items.
The track was originally made by a
member of Pack 227 and PwdRacing would like to continue to support those boys,
their parents, and their pack in their scouting activities as they support the
kids and families in PwdRacing’s local area. PwdRacing has been known to donate small
camping scholarships for scouts who can not afford to go to camp. The intention is to continue this practice
and so some of the donations/fees may be used for these purposes. PwdRacing also provides workshops for several
months and all that is asked of the participants a freewill donation to help
cover some of the costs so racing fees may help offset some of those.
Fees:
Live racing will be free will donation.
Proxy Entry fees will be as follows:
Single
Car $12
Cars
2 to 5 $10
Cars
6+ $ 8
Show
Only $ 5 per car
Return
Shipping will be kept as reasonable as possible. The amount of time and supplies taken to
repackage and ship the cars will have to be determined. Based on other groups it looks like postage
is around $4.00 for USPS Priority Mail.
Other methods will be supported as much as possible.
