All,
Here are answers to some of your questions.
What are the details about Round-1? – I need more specifics to answer the question. The first race of the DTM proxy series will be this Saturday the 24th at 1pm at the clubs headquarters.
When will the cars be received from Houston? – I received them yesterday. I will be running them through tech today the 22nd.
How many cars are coming from Houston? – 5
What specs are they using regarding gears et al? – I don’t fully understand what you are asking. They are using Slot It in-line crown gears as per the rules. I don’t know what size they are using. I have told them we run 23t – 25t crown gears when we run Slot It cars on our track.
Are they going to be tested (by Marty?) before the Round-1? – Yes, on my home track or at the headquarters if I have the time.
Will drivers have any time for test laps with each car? – A very limited amount of time with each car. That is the way a proxy works. Drivers are not allowed to adjust a car to suit their driving style. You drive the car you get.
Who are the drivers? I volunteer as either driver or Marshal. – As per earlier emails it will be Mark L., John B. and David C. with Marty and Steve working as marshals.
When is Ary truly coming back? – He is back
Does he have to quaratine since he is returning from Brazil? – Yes. He will not run the first round of the series.
When will tech inspection be for the ASCC cars? – Saturday, prior to the race. Starting at noon.
With some of the specs (wing reinforcement for one) will we have 5 minutes to fix it, or a more pragmatic time? Or could we be DQ on day one and have no time to correct the infraction? – I don’t understand what you are asking. The wing must be on the car for the start of the heat. You can reinforce the bottom of the wing but you cannot attach it to the side of the car.
So should we tune our cars for the HSARC track and race as configured on the ASCC track? or do we tune gears etc for the ASCC track and later modify before rounds start in Houston? – You can do whatever you want. Since we are allowing the cars to be reset for the Houston track I would set up my car for our track and then reconfigure it for the Houston track before we send the cars to them.

What is the official Guide – CH10 or the normal CH07? is a CHO7 illegal? Seems CH07 is recommended by the documented rules. They are designed for Carerra slot depths, is the HSARC track shallow – less than 7mm deep? – You can run any Slot It guide you want. I would suggest a CH07 for our track and the CH10 or stock guide for the Houston track.
Documented wings specs are: “parts damaged … Wings mandatory at the start of a heat... White kits allowed – but must be …” Or have the rules been updated somewhere with other details? – What is your question? Wings must be on the car when it starts the heat.
