GASCAR NEWS FLASH!!
This page is reserved for the latest in GASCAR News. Any important news, rules changes, schedule changes, or other important information will be posted here.

Most of you know by now that the Associated muffler we are currently running is no longer in production, and the HPI
A870 muffler is rumored to be discontinued soon. We have to have a legal muffler for the 2011 season, and the decision has been made to go with the CEN MG030 racing muffler. This muffler is smaller than the HPI, but has the same design in that is has a flat bottom so it will fit all cars currently running (or those with the HPI). Mitch Robinson, of Mobile Hobbies, as been authorized to order a quantity of 40 of these mufflers to have available for all GASCAR racers in the .15 Pro and .12 Dynamite Classes. The price is around $9.00, and Mitch is the place to get them. Delivery should be in about 4-6 weeks.... plenty of time for testing for 2011.

The part number of this muffler is MG030, so we are going to tag it as the "Mobile/GASCAR muffler". This will be the only legal muffler in the GASCAR series for 2011. Now, this requires a vote of members of GASCAR, so a vote will be taken at the next GASCAR race at Lagoon Park Raceway on September 10. If you are not going to make that race, just post your vote on HobbyTalk, or e-mail me and your vote will be counted. Thanks to Mitch for ordering these mufflers, so support him and get yours from him when they come it. Limited quantities are available from Tower, if any at all. We made this deal with CEN directly, so Mobile Hobbies is the official distributor for the muffler.

We are continually looking ahead to prevent any parts availability problems, so I made the decision to go ahead with the muffler. Several racers looked at the muffler at the Mason Dixon Nats, and approved it. We have to provide the muffler that is the most available, and we have it.




Look for new racing divisions for GASCAR in 2010!

The 2010 GASCAR racing season will showcase a new class for 1/10 nitro pan. The Dynamite 12 Pan Class will replace the .09 Pan Class for the 2010 Points Series. You can check out the new rules for the Dynamite 12s under out link "GASCAR Rules". The class is the brainchild of Sam Presnell and James Stroud. They have worked diligently and tested for many hours to find a replacement class for the fledgling .09 class. I think this new class will offer GASCAR racers another venue to show their racing skills and hopefully increase racer interest in nitro pan oval. A special thanks to both Sam and James for their hard work developing this new class for GASCAR.



GASCAR set to run two new classes for the 2010 season. The Pro Pan 15, and the new Dynamite 12 Pan Division.
GASCAR will run two classes for the 2010 GASCAR Points Series. Pro Pan 15, and the Dynamite 12 will be the only two classes run. Please refer to the "GASCAR Rules" link on this website for complete rules for each class.

POINTS TOTALS FOR THE 2009 POINTS SERIES

Points totals for the 2009 season will be awarded for the best 5 out of 6 GASCAR races. This leaves each racer with 1 (one) throw-out race. Points will be awarded for the GASCAR "500" even though it is a "payback" event and longer race. Each driver who pays 2009 GASCAR membership dues, will receive points for each race run, even if all races are not completed. Dues are collected at racer's first GASCAR event.
