This Rule Book may be amended from time to time. Special rules may be published by ARCA specifically for the Event and any applicable agreements to which ARCA is a party may also apply. The ARCA Rule Book is designed to provide for the orderly conduct of ARCA-sanctioned Events. Ultimately, the solution for unauthorized or improper officiating lies not in individual challenges seeking to undo what has been done, but rather in pressure brought upon the Officials in charge by drivers, owners, fans, and even ARCA to improve the caliber of Race supervision. It is the responsibility of each Member to address any complaint he/she might have regarding officiating to ARCA management. It is ultimately the obligation of each participant to ensure that his/her conduct and equipment comply with all applicable ARCA Rules, as they may be amended from time to time. EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL NOT RESULT FROM PUBLICATION OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH, THESE RULES. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of stock car racing and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators, or others. 4 – ARCA Intellectual Property Owned By National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • Experimental Study Comparing Racecar Aerodynamic Downforce-Generating Devices Using Scale Model Nascar Cot
    International Journal of Automotive Technology, Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 281−288 (2016) Copyright © 2016 KSAE/ 089−10 DOI 10.1007/s12239−016−0028−7 pISSN 1229−9138/ eISSN 1976−3832 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY COMPARING RACECAR AERODYNAMIC DOWNFORCE-GENERATING DEVICES USING SCALE MODEL NASCAR COT S. HELLMAN1), M. UDDIN2, 3)*, P. T. TKACIK2, 3) and S. D. KELLY3) 1)Dantec Dynamics Inc., Holtsville, NY 11742, USA 2)North Carolina Motorsports and Automotive Research Center, UNC Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA 3)Department of Mechanical Enginnering and Engineering Science, UNC Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA (Received 4 December 2014; Revised 19 May 2015; Accepted 18 September 2015) ABSTRACT−The performance and safety of the rear wing and spoiler employed on the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) COT (car of tomorrow) racecar are experimentally studied using 10 % scale models in a water channel. Particle image velocimetry is used to qualitatively examine the differences in flow structures between the two downforce-generating devices under 0 and 180-degree yaw cases. The latter is important due to an issue with the COT flipping into the air when at extreme yaw (i.e. during a crash). At zero yaw, it is observed that smaller length scales of the flow structures in the wake of the wing compared to those in the wake of the spoiler, provide more predictable handling for racecars in close proximity and may allow more safe and competitive racing. At 180-degree yaw, it is observed that wake-structure interactions may not allow proper operation of anti-flipping devices (roof flaps) on the winged car.
