General Mission Statement
SERG strives to provide Serious Slot Car Racers a fun, respectful and high competition environment to
campaign modern high performance slot cars. The rules will be both simple and applicable to all SERG events to
keep the racing consistent regardless of the format being raced at that event. SERG will be running longer
endurance type races at 10 minutes per lane called the Team Challenge Series. In an effort to elevate competition,
drivers will Qualify to establish the Team Assignments. Members are encouraged to help those who are new to
Slot Cars and promote SERG to other people who may be interested in Slot Car Endurance racing. Additionally,
members are encouraged to help each other improve their on track performance be it by car setup or driving
technique to promote tighter competition. SERG will strive to work in cooperation with other slot racing
organizations so all can benefit from a strong slot racing community.
Membership
All SERG members shall compete at their best within the spirit and intent of the rules. Honest high level
competition, sharing our passion for Slot Car racing and enjoying the comradery shall be the standard posture at all
SERG events.
SERG encourages its members to promote the club to others who are like minded. Potential new
members should be presented by a current member to ensure the best harmony within the group. Those wishing
to become SERG members and compete for points must participate as a guest racer in 3 events as a probationary
period to prove they are respectful, fun, easy to get along with, can compete fairly and can assimilate fully with the
group. After the probationary requirement is met, the Primary Officers will evaluate the potential new member on
their character being a positive asset for SERG. Upon the new member being accepted into SERG, the new member
will receive the points from the previously participated events. The new member will race as an IRONMAN for their
first 5 races to promote maximum trigger / racing time. Those wishing to be a member who is known by the
membership from racing with other groups will not be required to fulfill the probationary 3 race step. The Primary
Officers will accept or deny the request to be a member. Anyone denied SERG membership will be informed of the
reasons for the decision and will not participate in SERG events for not less than one year.
SERG also reserves the right to cancel membership, by the Primary Officers, if a member no longer
exhibits the characteristics required for a fun, competitive and adult environment.
No fee will be collected to become a member. Membership includes class nomination, voting
rights, bringing to light rules issues, collecting points and awards for events.
Rules Updates
1) At the season end race of a SERG Series club members can and are encouraged to discuss updates to the
competition rules to resolve issues that may have occurred.
2) If there is an obvious competition rule that needs more clarification to be fair for the whole of the group, it
can be brought up at the drivers meeting before any race or immediately after the race has just
completed. The rule change, if deemed to be crucial to the racing program and / or will promote fairness
in competition and needs to be implemented immediately, will be updated in the rules and enacted
before the next race. If voted on and approved at the drivers meeting, the rules will be in effect for that
race and published in the rules in a timely manner.
3) All Competition and General rules debates will be held in person. No Phone, online, E-mail, Text or any
other form of communication will be used to address rule concerns
4) All rule changes will be subject to review and approval by the Primary Officers before they are implemented
to ensure SERG will be following the course generating its inception
Race Format 5) Team Challenge Series. Teams of two will compete for a series championship racing their own car.
Qualifying will determine the team assignments. Each driver will carry their individual points through the
series from both Qualifying and race finish. Additionally, points for each drivers lap totals will be kept to
establish a final Single Racer Champion.

promote cars de-slotting.
11) There shall be walls flanking the full length of the track to keep the cars contained on the racing surface.
12) All lanes to be color coded with stripes flanking the slots. Preferred color for the lanes: Blue (inside),
White, Orange and Green (outside) on the drivers straight. If other colors are used they should not be
close in shade causing confusion when marshaling.
13) Drivers station to have Red, Black and White posts clearly marked. A “Power On” indicator is preferred.
14) All tracks will have contemporary computerized timing and scoring (Track Mate or Lap Master as

Additionally a 1 to 2 Farad capacitor should be employed to help clean the power and provide reserve for
startup power demand surges. If a battery is utilized, it should be of the deep-cycle type and use a
charging system that turns on when the track power is turned off to keep it as close to capacity as
possible. If a Sub-1 Amp battery tender is used to maintain the battery, it does not have to auto shut off
when track power is on. The battery should be fully charged at the start of race day.
18) Power taps: All to be as equally spaced as reasonable. A minimum of two if track length is less than 90
feet. Tracks over 90 feet shall have 3 power taps “equally spaced” at no more than 40 feet apart. All
power taps should be of a minimum 12Ga stranded wire with separate power and ground leads.

Driver Etiquette
71) During all Practice sessions, if a driver’s car de-slots that driver should IMMEDIATELY call “CAUTION” to let
the other drivers know lanes are blocked and proceed with CAUTION. It would be best if the location of
the de-slot were also announced when calling a “CAUTION”. As a professional courtesy, this rule is very
important to help keep cars from becoming damaged requiring repairs to compete.
72) During practice and racing, all cars shall have the proper lane sticker affixed forward of the front wheel
area or on the front windscreen. With stickers on for Practice, casual corner marshals will know where to
go with de-slotted car avoiding riders and unnecessary crashes
73) When preparing to practice, the controller must be hooked up before the car is placed onto the lane. The
driver should announce the lane color they are going onto as they enter practice so the other drivers are
aware. Example: “Coming In on Orange”
74) When leaving a lane during practice, the driver shall announce the lane color is open for others to use.
Example: “Blue is Open”
75) All drivers will do their best to race clean, fair and promote a competitive atmosphere.
76) Drivers will proceed through racing, lane changes and marshaling in a timely, professional manor.
77) Blatant intentional nerfing or crashing other competitors will not be tolerated. Race suspensions up to a
maximum penalty of revocation of membership and participation of all SERG events. First penalty =
current race suspension. Second penalty = 3 race suspension. Third penalty = 1 calendar year minimum
non-participation. Time period for penalties is one calendar year from first occurrence. Third offense
ousted driver must submit for re-instatement in writing to a Primary officer after time period elapses.
Only the Primary Officers can present said ousted driver for membership vote by membership population.
Primary Officers have final authority on penalties.
78) Respect for turn marshals shall be the normal posture. Yelling at the Marshals does not show respect. It is
preferred for a driver to communicate with the turn marshals to help them help you, similar to:
“…Blue(lane color) please, Thank you..”
79) Respect for the track shall be the normal posture. No actions that could harm the track will be tolerated (
slamming objects down on any part of the track or jerking wires from posts as examples) Blatant intent to
cause damage will result in life time revocation of membership.
80) Drivers are responsible to police their pit area of trash, oil drips and parts before leaving the hosting track
81) Hostile verbal abuse between members will not be tolerated. If it occurs, a 3 race suspension penalty will
be applied to those involved. Disputes shall be handled like mature adults. (Verbal abuse = profanity or
other language used to attack one’s character, physical attributes or any other form of insult intended to
cause harm)
82) Violence / bodily harm from one member to another will not be tolerated and will result in life time
membership / participation revocation.
Marshaling
83) All drivers will take their turn marshaling. Failing to marshal, unless due to a medical issue, will result in a
100 lap penalty
84) Marshalling stations shall be defined before the qualifying begins.
85) Marshals shall be replaced by available drivers between heats as much as possible. Nobody is required to
marshal the whole event without relief
86) Marshaling shall be treated as though it is the marshal’s car on the track. Pay attention to your corner /
section, keep your hands ready to pick up cars
87) If a car is out of the slot and is crashed into by another car, the second car should be placed back into
action first as much as possible
88) No cell phone use will be tolerated when marshaling. A 100 lap penalty shall be applied if a turn marshal
abandons their marshalling duties to use their phone without being relieved. If a marshal must take a
phone call, they need to be relieved before leaving their position
89) Conversations between marshals should not include looking away from the marshals responsible track
section
90) Turn marshals shall not work on any car during GREEN FLAG action. Correcting braid or pushing in body
pins during track calls are the only permissible repairs.
Tech
91) Tech will be open 30 minutes prior to Qualification begins.
92) The Electronic “Good to Go” tech gauge will be available to all competitors at the start of the event for
minimum clearance compliance assurance. The area teched is the same as a normal commercial tech
gauge, ¾” deep x 1-1/2” wide x .061” high. The car will be placed with the rear most chassis edge against
the rear edge of the stop block. The power button will be pressed to apply 5 vdc. If the car does not
immediately move forward under its drive with no wheel spin and completely clear the raised minimum
clearance block, the car is too low and must be made legal before it is placed into action-No Exceptions.
Cars shall be checked by their driver before they begin Practice.
93) Both the DRIVER and the CARS are the OFFICAL ENTRY. The TEAMS are made of OFFICAL ENTRIES.
94) All cars shall pass tech before qualifying.
95) Drivers can present a backup car for tech
96) All Cars will be held in “Parc Ferme`” after tech and through the whole event.
97) No gears shall extend below the bottom of the chassis. This will be checked by using a small flat piece of
wood flush with the bottom of the chassis and moved across the gear location. If the gear moves, it is too
low. No exceptions.
98) Track power will be turned off 15 minutes before scheduled start of Qualifying to complete entries and
tech.
Qualifying
99) The previous Pole Position winner will select the lane for Qualifications and be put at the end of the
Qualifying order. If they are not present the next fastest qualifier from the previous race will select the
lane. At the start of a new series, the previous champion will declare the qualifying lane.
100) Qualifying: Fastest Lap Time Format. 45 sec including a driver called “BYE”. The order shall be drivers
without series points first followed by least series points up to points leader with previous Pole Winner
last. Only the first qualifying attempt will be given the full allotted time. If a driver must pull their car for
repairs to continue qualifying, the remainder of the 45 sec at the time the driver calls a “BYE” will be used
for the second attempt. The next driver will assume qualifying. The second attempt will be after all drivers
have had their first qualifying attempt.
101) Qualifying positions score same as race finish points to help discourage sandbagging team / heat
assignments and to create a race with in a race.
102) If a driver with no series points is entered, they will start the qualifying order.
103) Drivers must return their car to Parc Ferme` after their qualifying run
104) ALL car repairs must be performed during GREEN FLAG action by either team mate. If a team mate is turn
marshalling and they are to complete repairs, they must be relieved of marshalling duties before repair
can be performed.
Team Challenge Races
105) Teams of two will be made from official qualifiers: if 12 qualifiers- 1&12, 2&11, 3&10, etc. This is to even
out the competition as points are scored to each driver from team results.
106) If an odd number of racers are entered, the middle qualifier will select one of the following options:
A. Up to 2 volunteers will be sought to drive as the middle qualifier’s entry. They are to be referred to as
“Proxy Drivers”. The “Proxy Driver” will be pulled from the next fastest, next slowest qualifiers up to
two positions away. The “Proxy Driver” can drive either their car, the middle qualifier’s driver’s car or
an additional car. Only the middle qualifier entry will score racing points. The up to two “Proxy
Drivers” will not score race points with the finish position of the middle qualifier driver. If one or two
proxy drivers are assigned and they are racing an additional car, the car must be presented for tech.
These drivers will have 2 minutes of track time to validate the cars for competition.
B. The middle qualifying driver can choose to campaign all lanes themselves. The IRONMAN. They will
race all lanes. In the first heat the 1st
and 3rd
lanes will count for lap totals. In the second heat the 2nd
and 4th
lanes will count for lap totals. (This simulates the Ironman having proxy drivers and provides
individual laps totals for final position)
Racing- General Rules
107) ALL work, maintenance, repairs etc. shall only be performed during the team’s / drivers
GREEN FLAG time or the 3 minutes between heat race lanes. This includes a 3 minute
preparation period before racing resumes after intermission. This means only the times the
team / driver would normally be in action of competition. More specifically, work on an official
car can only be performed if the car is going on to a lane (the 3 minute lane change time) or is
currently slated to be on a lane (the event lane race time). The other team car will remain in
Parc Ferme`. A violation of this rule will result in a penalty of the following for first offense = 200
laps only to the offending drivers total. The team mate will not have a lap penalty. A DQ for a second
violation on race day will be applied. (Clarification for this rule: Endurance events, once the race has
started, the clock is ticking down to zero. Every entry has only the Official Clock time to compete
including repairs to cars.) Any team member can work on the car providing they are not currently
performing turn marshal duties. (new drivers, less than 5 races, will be given exception)
108) Drivers can only drive their own cars when racing for their assigned team. Both the driver and cars are
the OFFICAL entry.
109) Backup Cars can be utilized at the driver’s discretion only during GREEN FLAG action. This does not
include the 3 minutes prep time between lanes or after intermission. The driver choosing to use their
backup car must bring the car to the driver’s station, remove and replace with backup car in Parc Ferme`
with no help from other drivers. The backup car must have the appropriate lane sticker for competition.
Once the backup car is used the primary car must remain out of action for the rest of the event unless
backup car completely fails (stops or creates an on track hazard).
110) The fastest qualifiers will pick their lane choice to start the race. A bye can be used if more than 4 teams.
111) The starting drivers will have 3 minutes to prepare their cars. Drivers on deck can have their car from
Parc Ferme at the end of current stint and prepare for racing during the 3 minute lane changes. After a
driver has finished racing their lane, the car will be returned to Parc Ferme`.
112) Lane change will be controlled by the computer for 3 minutes max. If all drivers are ready to compete
before the time has elapsed, a manual restart will be used to shorten the program.
113) No Gluing or tire treatments of tires or track will be allowed (after practice has ended). The racing
surface will be prepared by the host before the event (using spray glue or rolling glue onto the racing
surface). This rule is to make it fair for all the drivers by letting the track progress naturally and be
predictable throughout the event. Cleaning the tires with Naptha and spinning the tires dry on the
burnout pad is the only legal tire treatment during the race.
114) Braid juice shall only be used to clean the braid on the car. Excess must be wiped off the braid with an
absorbent towel or rag. No braid juice shall ever be applied to the track braid. This is to protect the
bonding medium of the braid. A violation during racing or practice is a 100 lap penalty for the first
offense. If a second offense occurs during the same event, that driver will be excluded from the final
points for that event.
115) Track calls will only be used for:
1) Car off the racing surface in an unreachable location
2) Rider
3) Car in position not easily reached by marshal (ie: HVAC interference)
4) Car blocking lanes under the bridge
5) Track repair
6) No track calls for repairs to cars or controllers
116) If for any reason racing must be stopped due to a track failure and completion of the event cannot be
attained, points for that event will be from Qualifying only. This includes Team Points by averaging the
both team mates qualifying time and ranking a finishing order based on the average.
117) If there is not enough racers to hold the race, those who are present will Qualify and points will be issued
based upon Qualy results. Teams will be formed and the average of the two qualy times will be used to
rank a virtual race and points will be issued from that ranking. Each driver will be given 3 minutes to turn
as many laps as they can to award individual lap points.
Black Flags
118) Any car shorting out the track will be Blacked Flagged, (ie: throwing off sparks will be black flagged). The
power will not be turned off. The driver or Team Member of the car must pull the car off the racing
surface and repair the cause of the short / sparks. (tires, loose metal, loose wires etc)
119) Any component of the car dragging the track, that could cause damage to the track, the car must be
removed from the racing surface and corrected
120) If any part of the car causes unfair crashes or track calls, (ie: the body is unsound and contacting other
cars), and the driver cannot continue at a reduced speed without causing disruption of normal race
action, the driver must pull the car from the racing surface and perform repairs to offending problem.
121) The power will remain on even if the damage is crash related.
Race Procedure
122) Starting Lane Selection: The fastest drivers will select their teams starting lane. Teams can opt to use a
BYE. If there are more than one “BYE” available, the team can select Bye-1, Bye-2 etc as desired. If a
subsequent team also elects to use a BYE, they will be placed in the BYE-x order. If only the four slowest
teams driver are left for lane assignment after faster teams have elected to BYE, the 4 slowest teams will
start the first heat with the fastest selecting their lane first. When 4 teams have been assigned to start the
first heat, the order will be set. Either team driver can run their first heat.
123) Each driver must race all 4 lanes or the total available lanes if the hosting track has more than four lanes.
Team discretion as to lane assignments for Team’s lane rotation
124) Middle qualifiers using proxy drivers must drive each of the available lanes
125) Each lane will be raced for 10 minutes giving each driver 40 minutes of racing.
126) Final race position will follow the most laps and sections. The team with the most laps and sections will
be the winner.
127) Entry fee will be $5 Per Driver
