I'm expecting Novice is intended to be a TC chassis?

Yes although novices can run in the 12th Scale class as well. They will be pre-sorted into an appropriate heat.

First Carpet Club Race, Saturday October 7th
Saturday October 7th evening is our first carpet club race. Doors open at 4:00pm and track setup starts at 4:10pm. All local racers are expected to help with track setup (reasonable exceptions are fine). Some notes:
* New Track Setup: We'll be building a new track layout for the first night which will take extra time. We'll then run an extended practice session, followed by two qualifiers and one main. Future race nights will run three qualifiers and one main.
* Formula 1 at the first race: The shorter race program on night #1 will allow us to run Formula 1 if there are enough cars. Beyond that, we'll only have time to run it at future races if the turnouts are low.
* Tables/Chairs: Eagle Ridge has some tables for our use, but not enough for everyone. If you have a small table, it would be wise to bring it along. You MUST bring your own chair.
* Payment: Cash and E-Transfers are accepted.
* TC Rubber Tires: The club will have touring car rubber tires on hand for purchase. They are the same tires that most racers have used the last few years. These tires are not mandatory, but they are a good choice.
* Traction Compound: SXT is the only permitted traction compound.
