Clarification that no one has to provide meal. Drinks would still be great.
IF you want to provide a meal that is up to you but please make drivers aware of that before time.
All the rules the same for racing except the following:
1. Any rookie driver gets unlimited deslots in heat races, and B-main (after every fourth de-slot they will serve a time poenalty just like veteran drivers)
2. Floor rule stays in effect for rookies in B-main and final.
3. Rookie Drivers get 16 deslots in final race instead of 12.
4. At the end of their rookie season, or eigth race whichever comes later, the veteran drivers vote on if they are no longer a rookie (thanks JW for this idea)
5. Drivers that have rookie status revoked by veteran drivers receive four extra deslots per heat and finals for second season only
(no matter if they run once or the whole season)
6. Once a driver completes 16 races or their second season, whichever comes first, they receive the same amount of de-slots as veteran drivers
7. Drivers that return to the league but have more than 16 previous starts (i.e. Cory or Nic)
get an extra four deslots in the heats and finals for the first eight races in the season in which they return or
total of eight races over two seasons if they are part-time racers
8. Drivers who have been away from the series for three years or more and have more than 40 starts (i.e. Chad Sorce or Jim Iverson), receive an extra four deslots in all heat races and finals for one-off races or for a total of five races in their first season if they are returning as full or part-time drivers

After agonizing and many opinions I decided it is time to move to the Mega G chassis for 2013.
GTP will remain the super G+ however F1 and LMP will be the Mega G 1.7 chassis.
After conducting several tests I figured out a way to:

the field fair
2. not invalidate previous purchases of Mega G's
F1 and LMP cars must be run box stock including rims, chassis, motors, bodies. The exceptions will be painting and gluing wings that are broken. Both the original Mega G, pictured on the right, and the newer version with the fully enclosed traction magnets, as pictured on the left, will be eligible to run in either F1 or LMP (both bodies use the same chassis).
The difference will be in the tires. Both divisions will be able to run driver's choice of stock tires, pvt01 (the tires we currently use) or the pvt02 (tires used the last year of the ARA superstocks on the lifelikes). In comparing the three tires on stock mega g rims and the new 1.7 chassis version, the lower profile pvt02 tires gripped the best. When compared to a stock tire it gripped a little better, but the stock tire had more top end and glide through the turns while still sticking pretty well. The Pvt01 had more top end and glide than either of the others, however wasn't as grippy. With the variety of tracks the ISF runs on in terms of design and smoothness this will provide an interesting strategy choice. The exception to the tire rule is that if you choose to run the original Mega G, you will not be allowed to run the lower Pvt02 tires. This is because more of the magnet is exposed and sits a little closer to the rails providing better grip even with stock tires. At Rapids the difference between an original Mega G with stock tires and a 1.7 version with pvt02 was very very slight with the 1.7 better in the corners but slower on the straights.
This tire rule does not apply to GTP where the current rule package will remain in effect.
For F1 the rule remains that you can run any team in the history of F1 and can paint the car to match. In LMP there are only two current bodies, Audi R15 and Peugot. You can run any team that appeared at Sebring or Petit LeMans or Road America in the ALMS from 2005onwards.
If you want to run a closed top team you have to use the Peugot body (i.e. Mazda or Astin Martin) if you want to run an open cockpit team (i.e. Porsche, courage, Riley & Scott) you use the Audi body. Since there are multiple Audi teams that have run, there can be multi Audi teams (one designated driving Audi R8, R10, R15, R18) same with other teams. Real teams like Dyson who ran a Lola open cockpit and a Mazda closed cockpit can also be reprensented by two different teams claiming to be Dysons).
