The ThunderStocks Series is open to everyone; three races at three different tracks on Saturday nights subject to Moderator availbility. This Series uses the ARCA RE/MAX 08 simulator from The Sim Factory.
At 9:20 PM Eastern the server will switch to the first track and official practice will begin. The first of three races will begin at approximately 9:30. Race lengths for all three events are set to make each race last about 20 minutes. Each race is immediately followed by 10 minutes of practice to prepare for the next 20 minute event.
The ThunderStocks Series uses fixed setups, 100% damage model, 3x fuel, and 3x tire wear. Caution flags will be turned off. Penalty flags will be turned on. Random weather and mechanical failures will be used. Starting positions for each race will be determined by the simulator (there will be no qualifying session). The NASCAR points system is used to determine the winner of the weekly series.
ThunderStocks Series Race Distance by Track Type (laps):
• Short Tracks (40) - ovals less than [or equal to] 1 mile
• Intermediate Tracks (30) - ovals less than 2 miles
• Super Speedway Tracks (25) - ovals less than 3 miles

• Long Road Courses (5 no yellow flags) - road courses less than 5 miles

There are no restarts after the green flag; all drivers are to use extra care on the start of the race. Drivers should remain quiet on TeamSpeak so everyone can concentrate on the green flag. The leader will say "the pace car is in" as the pace car pulls off the track.
The sim will be in control of all penalties; they will not be cleared manually. If you receive a black flag, serve the penalty within the alotted time to avoid being disqualified.
