I REQUIREMENTS
A. The idea behind this race is NOT one of the smartest we’ve had and whether
you are participating or a spectator – YOU ARE DOING SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

extend out past the car width. If the safety inspector doesn't like it...be prepared to
cut it!
6. 1 Fire Extinguisher in every car and 1 in the pit for every team.
7. Unaltered Street Tread Tires only (NO Mud, Snow, All-Terrain, etc...if you think
the tread is too aggressive, it probably is! You can send in a pic if you

after that date.

qualification and can influence starting position.
