Hello drivers. I am Jack Beckman, your Steward for this race. I have met quite a few of you in person, and several others online, but for those who don't know me, I have been racing for several years now, and I steward a race in Doug's ladder. I am also one of the founders of the Detroit CFR racing series, and will be taking over the duties as Steward there this year. So I have some experience.
That's doesn't mean I always get things right, so if you feel I have done something in error, PLEASE point it out as soon as you can so we can straighten it out, because there's a fair chance I did mess up.
Standard Redscape CFR rules will apply with the following exception: You may accelerate in a corner as long as it does not cause additional wear usage (or a chance roll) in the next space. The original rule only allows an increase in speed when no additional wear is used in the entire corner.
Plots will normally be due Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 5 PM ET (US) unless I say otherwise. Real Life occasionally does intrude. I will acknowledge receipt of your plot; if you don't have an acknowledgement and it's getting close to the deadline, send it again or otherwise get in thought with me. My primary email is jbeckman@beckmanjm.com, but you can also reach me at jack.beckman@gmail.com or jcbeckman&mac.com if you suspect you aren't getting through to me otherwise.
I will be using a template created from one of Doug's spreadsheets, since it so nicely does so many calculations. This does mean the look will be slightly different from the Redscape look you saw before, and your cars will be different. I did try to match car colors as closely as possible to the previous race. However, I only have the 12 cars, so if you aren't happy with what I assigned, you'll need to find someone to switch with.
Car builds are due Monday, 7 January @ 5 PM ET (US). I will then send out the car builds to everyone and bids will be due Wednesday, 9 January @ 5 PM ET.
I have Builds from Doug and Chris already, so I have blurred out their stats for now.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
