Happy New Year to one and all.I've been working on fixing the website for weeks and weeks and I have finally finshed remaking the site. There are a few little touchups that will need to be done I am sure, but my hope is that I have made it a bit easier to view and navigate.

For those of you that wanted me to put information on the site, please contact me again and I will be happy to add it to the site. I know there was at least one more manfacture and one or 2 additinal links.

Please feel free to let me know what you like or don't like and I will see what I can do to improve. Contact me via email:
Jim Bell

Thank you all and have a great start to the New Year.

The official QSAC financial report is now available:
QSAC Financial Report.pdf

11/20/2011
1) The Grand National Class will remain on the books as written.
2) The Grand National Class will become a Provisional Class because of lack of attendance.
3) A probationary Super Late Model Class will be started utilizing all of the GN Class rules except the body rule but including the body and spoiler height rules.

It was not our intent to distress anyone over this decision. We did and do believe we are working for the best interests of Quarter Scale racing.

2011 NCS Points have been updated

CO-CHAIR CANDIDATE TONY EVANS:
I started racing RC cars about 25 years ago with a move to the Quarter Scale Cars around 1999. I raced primarily on the west coast. In 2006 & 2007, I served as a board member with QSAC West. In 2007, I was contacted by Mark Aldrich & Brent Gottfried about replacing Mark as QSAC Co-Chair the next year. In 2008 & 2009,
I served as a Co-Chair with QSAC. In 2008 it was with Brent Gottfried. In 2009 it was with Mike Sadler, at the request of Brent and Myself. I left racing Quarter Scale to go racing in a car that you actually sit in.
I believe that QSAC Co-Chairs need to have a good line of communication and keep up on what is going on nationally. I already have a working relationship with Mike Sadler so I believe getting back to the business would be easy. Since I left in 2009, I still kept up with racing by daily reading Hobby Talk, and talking with Mike and Brent from time to time. QSAC needs stability and communication as has been done in the past. Yes I, do believe that things could be better, I have a few ideas that I would like to try. QSAC does not need an overhaul just some tidying up. Fair and consistent rules is what keeps QSAC going.
Tony Evans

Candidate for Co-Chair Joe DePinto:
I started racing 1/4 scale cars in 1987, so as you can see I have been around awhile. I joined QSAC in 1988, and shortly there after became the Northeast Director. In 1989 I also took on the job of East Coast Director, and was appointed to the National Tech Committee. Some time in 1990, I was appointed to the Board of Directors of QSAC.
We the Board felt at that time, it would be in the best interest of QSAC if we turned over the club to the Members. Our feelings were; we needed to separate the Manufactures from the running of the club. We then decided to write a set of rules, that would be the back bone of QSAC for years to come. I have read the rules we have now, and still see the Core rules we put in place. We interviewed Members for the New QSAC Co-Chairman, and decided Bob Moore, and Tom Hargrave, would best serve our Members.
I continued to race, and helped guide our club over the years. I am now Retired, and would like to give back to something that has been a big part of my life, and enjoyment for so many years, QSAC.
I feel I have the time, and managerial skills to help guide, and strengthen our club. With the Memberships help, I would like to take QSAC to the next level.
Please consider me when you cast your vote for Co-Chair.
Regards,
Joe DePinto

The points and Rulebook have been updated. Please note the changes to include the port timings to include the newest engine from Zenoah on page 25. The latest points publication includes lots of ties we hope will be broken this weekend. I hope to not be so late with updating the points after this weekend. (sorry for the delay).

The Limited Sportsman class is doing great. Hope to see some go to a second race and even a third!!! Right now it's anybodys race.

There is a special event to occur at Newton Park in Lakeville, Indiana. Please see the following site: http://www.newtonpark.org/

Bob Louk from Ingalls (The Mini Madhouse) has put this together. Tony Stewart will be there and maybe a friend or two to enjoy racing with his Quarter Scale friends. You are welcome to bring your car, Sprint car or truck and race as well. We will have the entire day starting at about noon on Tuesday August 2nd. There will be an autograph session from about noon to 1:00PM then racing shall begin.

You'll get your picture taken with Tony, a hat and T-shirt, but the real cool thing is racing at this fine facility with people all around. I couldn't think of a better way to help support and promote QSAC in such a fun family atmosphere.

Friday and Saturday August 5th & 6th will be a charity race for the park. Your entry fee will be donated to the Newton Park facility. If you can't make it Tuesday, try to make this date.

Again the location will be at Newton park in Lakeville Indiana. The park is on state route 31, can't miss it. Lakeville is about 10 miles south of South Bend, In.

As more information is avalable I will post it here, So get ready and stay tuned!!!

05/21/2011
The points have been updated and available for viewing under the NCS Info tab. Some ties have ocured and tie breakers were nessassary for some. For the others they stay a tie because there is no difference to make one ahead of the other. This will probably play out as the season moves forward.

NCS race #1 is in the books!

On behalf of QSAC I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Cindy Washam for writing an article and taking a ton of pictures and video for the Lakeside Speedway NCS race. An equal THANK YOU to Steve Bess , Johnny Bright and the gang in Clover for putting on a great show and representing QSAC to it's finest!

Please join QSAC and I in welcoming Dana Chittenden "DC" on board as the QSAC Newsletter Editor.

Track Owners/Operators,

With the 2010 race season behind us and the great memories lingering, the 2011 season is now upon us! I have recently volunteered to assist with the newsletter so racers all across the country can stay up to date on the NCS happenings! I personally feel this is a great way to keep all racers connected. In doing so I will need the help of all you guys that have NCS race's at your facilities this year. It would be a great help if you guys could designate a track member or yourself to write up a little segment with results and exciting moments that happened over the NCS weekend and forward that to me so I can get it edited and published on QSAC'S website. Please email me who that individual will be so I can get their info! Together we can bring back the newsletter more entertaining than ever! But,it will require the help of all! If you have any questions or need any help please feel free to contact me via email or call! QSAC looks forward to seeing you in 2011!!!

QSAC Newsletter Editor,
Dana Chittenden "DC"

Greetings Track Owners!!! The 2011 Track sactioning form is now available under the forms tab. Please note that you will be sending the form to Judy Sunde this year and if you have questions Doreen will be able to answer them. Also, as usual feel free to contact one of the Co-chairs with any concerns or questions.

1/4/2011
There is a new right front tire that is approved for the 2011 season. BRP has come out with the 96Z available now from Todd Bishop. Also QSAC going out is the 66 right front tire, however it is still legal until 1/1/2013 giving racers 2 years to run em if you got em...

Also note that the 2011 Rulebook now reflects this change as well as the removal of the pictures to modify the motor to accept a carburetor and still adjust it. It is no longer nessassary to make this modification due to the addition of the restrictor plate. If your motor was modified for this reason in the past, it is still legal.
