All oval Cars are rolling starts.
Electric Mains are also rolling starts.
No car will be driven at any time in reverse of the track traffic. If this occurs, a
one-lap penalty will be deducted off the driver’s best time. The use of reverse is
legal, however if you back up into an oncoming car a one lap
penalty will be assessed.
Repairs must be done out of the
way of traffic, not on the racing surface. A car may be repaired and returned to the
track. A car running on the track has the right of way over a car returning to the track.
Unsportsmanlike
driving (i.e. intentional hitting other cars, short coursing, and corner cutting) is
not allowed. Abusive language by a driver to a turn marshal or any other racer will not be
tolerated. Any driver who
deliberately takes out another driver and/or threatens to take out another driver will
have there vehicle removed from the track.
TECH
- It is the Drivers
responsibility to bring the vehicle to the Tech table and remove the transponder
immediately following each race. Failure to do so will result in
a loss of five laps. Cars may be inspected
immediately after respective races, if a driver takes their car back to the pit area
before being inspected, the car will be disqualified.
All rules must be
strictly adhered to. Any violation must be corrected BEFORE the car is raced. It is the
responsibility of the racer to insure their car meets all technical requirements. If a car
passes through "Tech Inspection" and a technical illegality is over-looked, the
vehicle is still illegal.
Batteries: Only sub-C size
batteries shall be used. Only Ni-Mh or NiCd cells - no
milliamp limit, 2 cell li-po's are
allowed in mod class only. All
classes will be allowed to run a maximum of 6 cells.
Stock Motors: Stock motors
must be stamped ROAR or 27 on the end bell, and tagged 27 on
the armature. turn allowed on 1 of 3 poles). Motors that show any sign of tampering will be
disqualified.
Mod
Motors: Modified class it is legal to run brushless
motors.
Tires: All tires must be
factory available. All offroad cars are required to run
a factory available tire that is specific to that scale car. i.e.
No truck tires mounted on 1/8 scale rims.
Nitro
Motors: All 1/10 scale vehicles are required to run
a .15 or smaller unless that motor came with the kit. If your
duratrax came with a .18 you can run it but you must run it in
that kit. Monster trucks are limited to a .60 or smaller. 1/8
scales must also use a .32 or smaller.
Exhausts: Exhausts
may not exceed 85 Dba. We have a sound meter available.
All vehicles found to be in excess of 85 Db will not be
allowed to compete. Single outlet pipes only - no dual stingers or moving chambered pipes. Stock systems are usually below this
level. This means altered or homemade systems are usually to
loud, and are not allowed.
Brakes: All cars must
have a braking system capable of slowing the vehicle to a complete stop
Clutches: All vehicles
must have a clutch between the engine flywheel and vehicle drive gear
Throttle Return: In case
of failure, vehicles must incorporate a return spring attached to the throttle arm.
Transmission:
Offroad cars must have a minimum of three internal gears and one spur
gear. The transmission must be enclosed on all sides by
a molded case. All oval vehicles must run at least one
working differential.
Body’s: Front, rear,
and side windows may be completely removed. Additional holes may be cut directly above Engine Head, Needle Valve and Fuel
tank lid. Holes may not exceed 1/2" diameter larger than each component.

OFFROAD CLASSES
Monster Truck To be a
Monster Truck, the lowest point of the engine must sit at
least 1.5" inches above the lowest point
along the front-back centerline when compressed (usually the
"skid plates"). To tech questionable MTs, remove the
wheels, place MT on flat surface, compress the vehicle fully
and a ruler (or 1.5" gauge) could be used vertically to
measure the engine above the surface. No flat chassis (1/8
buggy style). The following trucks are examples that fit
within the above definition: T (and S) -Maxxes, Savage, MGT,
Revo, TNX/TC, and LST providing no modifications have been
made to make the vehicle not meet the Monster Truck rules.
Electric Monster Truck conforming to the rules of this class
will be allowed to participate. That means they must meet the
minimum weight. Electric trucks must make pit stops during
mains. The appropriate number to be determined at each event
which will be equal to the majority of the stops required by
the nitro powered truck.

available for Monster Trucks it IS legal to

Special Note Regarding the limited Classes - By
entering and racing in this class you agree to the following.
The engine in the car is the responsibility of the person
driving the car. If you buy your motor from someone or borrow
a car or motor from someone and it is illegal you will
be disqualified and subject to the items listed below. You
agree to allow me to remove and disassemble your motor at any
time and agree that I am not responsible for any damage that
occurs even if caused by my carelessness. You agree that upon
request you will immediately take the motor out of the car and
completely tear it down to the bare block with bearings. You
will do this directly in the presence of tech supervision. You
are required to bring all tools necessary for the removal and
tear down of the engine to the tech area. You also agree that
if you refuse you will be assumed to be cheating and subject
to the below consequence. You further agree that ANY motor
modification will be considered
deliberate and you will suffer a lifetime ban of running any
limited class in the future, in other words you would have to
go run the open class, where you are allowed to grind a crank
or rod.
Slider:

it is specifically listed below any modification is illegal
