Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins 2 out of 3 races. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
Green light on Slanman timer calls the race winner.
Times will be shown for informational purposes only.
The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.
Bracket seeding will be based on order of arrival.Note that the 1st 8 to arrive at the track get a 1st round Bye.
Penalties/DNF
Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.
Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

EXCELLENT! Twin Mills only is a race that I've long imagined holding if I had a track or channel. Even suggested it to Ricks Diecast Racing when he asked for ideas to follow Custom Carnage. PLEASE let me in.
I'm in for sure. Brownie will be driving a Braille Racer Twin Mill.
I'm trying to coax Ron into registering an account so he can send one too.
- Ron is registered, likely a TM gen E build — NJDCC1racer
- In! #5 — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Ron is in too! I verified his account. #6 — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Ahhhh.....Braille Racer.....Brownie is missing an eye - I "see" the connection now! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Awesome! Ron is one of the reasons I got into diecast racing. Yes, Brownie has one eye and it really doesnt work either, so the Braille Racer seemed appropriate. ;-) — Billys_Midway_Racing
I give it a shot what's your youtube channel
- Bolo....I apologize but Rookies only - anyone with a 1st place wins on 2024 or Career Stats page on RedlineDerby is not eligible. YouTube @dutchclutchracing — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
