The 2015 "Dirty Dozen Challenge" Rules and Discussion Thread
Trying out something new for 2015. This is where we will discuss rules and answer questions as we get this new list off the ground.
The Dirty Dozen Challenge
The Dirty Dozen Challenge is something new and will be a challenge for spot list, similar to Street Outlaws, and separate from The Dirty Dozen ET list. Each of the 12 spots on this list will have to be "challenged" for. There will be no ETs needed to be posted. Just race results. All spots will be run for in a heads-up type format. This list will be open to all makes and models.
1) Run whatcha brung! Any make or model allowed, but must have current registration, tags, and insurance. Tags and registration must match car that is being run. No dealer tags.
2) The Dozen Coordinator - Brian McWhorter, AKA draggin50
There will be a neutral party picked that will be responsible for keeping track of, and being a part of, all challenges. This person will be fair and impartial and will see to that all races are on the up and up. If there is any controversy about a race the Dozen Coordinator's decision will be final.
3) Challenges - The first 2 cars that challenge each other will start out being #1 and #2 respectively. Those cars will have to be challenged and beaten to gain their spots. When the list fills out, any and all spots can be challenged at any time, by any other driver, whether they are on the list at the time or not. There will be no "Gate Keeper" that has to be gone thru to get started on working your way up the list. If you're at #8 and want to take a shot at #1, issue the challenge. If that #8 beats the #1, #8 moves to the #1 spot, the old #1 will move to #2, and the rest of the list will drop down one spot. If someone not on the list goes for any spot on the list and wins, that is now their spot and anything below that spot drops down accordingly. The CHALLENGED racer chooses the track and day of the race. The race should happen within one week of the challenge. If the challenger legitimately cannot make the date/time set by the challenged, then the Dozen Coordinator may need to come in and find a reasonable solution to make sure the race happens. The Challenged racer has lane choice in chosen race. If the Dozen Coordinator has to set up the track and time to make the race happen, then lane choice will be decided by coin toss.
4) The Race - Races will be run heads up. Sportsman tree, Pro tree, whatever the racers can agree on. A redlight is a loss. Crossing the centerline of the track is a loss. There will be no "a chase is a race" or anything like that, if both lanes are green, it's a race. This isn't about who can hustle the best. Races will be run on a local track decided on by the racers. Street races will not count towards the list.
5) Break Rule - There is no "official" break rule, BUT, If you have a catastrophic failure you should probably remove yourself from the list. If you are challenged and cannot make a race due to breakage, you automatically forfeit that race. If you continue to be challenged while broke you will keep dropping spots until you are off the list. Just make it easier all the way around and ask to be removed. When you get car running again you can start challenging for spots again.
Notice there are no rules about post counts, mufflers, windshield wipers, horns, trailers or anything of the like. The rules are deliberately left "open" to allow the greatest amount of participation. You can be a part of The Dirty Dozen ET List and this list as well, if you choose to do so. You don't have to decide whether to be on one or the other. At the end of the season there will be a Dirty Dozen Challenge Shootout. This will not be a mandatory event, but non-participation may result in your dropping many spots or even off the list completely depending on challenges. Anyone can challenge for any spot at the event so it will pay to be there. The Dozen Coordinator will be announced as soon as they are decided upon. We are hoping this list will generate a lot of action, racing, trash talkin', BSing, etc. There may be some type of prize for finishing #1 on the list. Details of this are currently being worked on. This will be announced when it is determined. Lets find out who has the baddest street cars in the area. The list will be set in stone at the conclusion of the local racing season. The spot you hold at the end of this season will be the spot you start off with the following racing season. Lets get out there and and start challenging. Good luck to all.
Thanks to Brian McWhorter, AKA draggin50 for stepping up as The Dozen Coordinator. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/clap.gif I'm sure Brian will do a great job. PM Brian on here for any challenges or call him if you have his number. Make sure you post the challenge in this thread as well.
Still working on a possible prize for this years Top Dog. More to come.
