DRIVING AND COURSE INFRACTIONS:
•
Cutting or striking a buoy at any time on the race course is a 50 point penalty per buoy. Cutting more than 3 buoys on
the course is a one lap penalty. Course cutting at the end of the heat is not permitted. After the race is over you may
ask permission from the race CD (contest director) to cut the course. If the CD fi nds it safe to pass a dead boat, he
might allow you to cut.
•
Striking a dead boat on the race course draws an instant DQ from the heat.
•
Passing can be done on the outside or inside but you must allow at least one rooster tail length to overtake another
boat. Intentionally taking out (crashing) a competitor’s boat will draw a DQ for that heat.
We hope you have fun racing your Mini Thunder!
Remember, the fastest boat does not always bring home the trophy.

Unlike full-size race boats, RC boats turn much better clockwise, due to the motor’s
rotation and torque. The following course has been designed with this in mind as
well as the speed and size of the Mini Thunder for maximum racing excitement.
