Rules and Regulations
All organizations, to be successful, must have good rules and fair enforcement. You, as a member, are expected to know the rules, therefore ignorance will not be tolerated as an excuse. If there is a question, on any rule, specification and/or clarification, the best ‘rule of thumb’ is, if you do not see something specifically explained, consider it illegal, because the I.D.C.C. will consider it so.
No pretense is made of having designed a foolproof set of rules and regulations. The spirit and intent of the following rules is going to be the standard by which our Dwarf Car racing is guided. The elected officials are authorized to decide if an equipment change or design is an attempt to beat the rules. They can and will disqualify an entry that is in violation of the spirit or intent of these rules. Interpretation of, or amendment to, these rules may be made at any time. The rules and/or regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for orderly conduct of racing events and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for the conduct of the sport and are no way a guarantee against injury or death to those participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have accepted and complied with these rules and regulations.
Rules of Conduct
All members shall act in a professional manner and conduct themselves as adults at all times .
If the actions of a member are determined by the I.D.C.C. Board of Directors to constitute a threat or act of disrespect for any fellow members that may upset the orderly conduct of an I.D.C.C. scheduled race or meeting, the board may take temporary emergency action against the member, the action may include ejection, suspension, fines and/or penalties.

Some examples of conduct warranting such action include: Verbal abusive attacks on fellow members, consumption of alcohol or drugs, fighting, reckless driving, and failure to obey any direction of an official of the race track or the I.D.C.C.

Car Rules And Regulations
Do not attempt to build a dwarf car without first contacting the ISLAND DWARF CAR CLUB (I.D.C.C.) for specifications. If a car is built that does not meet the specifications and pass the I.D.C.C.’s technical inspection, it will not be an I.D.C.C. car and will not be allowed to compete with I.D.C.C. cars.
