There will be no charge for fuel (gas). The event will utilize the Clone engine package for all divisions. Seat height will be a non tech item. To be consistent with other indoor events, we will follow the following additional safety requirements. Weights must be bolted to the chassis or seat. The nerf bars are considered part of the chassis. For weights on the seat, you must use fender washers (large washers) under the bolt head. All weight bolts must be double nutted or safety wired. Do not attach weights to bodywork. Header bolts must be safety wired.

Safety is the overriding issue. If the Race Director or Tech Officials decide your weights are not safely attached, you will have to change them to suit the officials.

More exciting news will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Purses will increase or become guaranteed with the commitment from sponsors! For additional information about the event or technical questions please contact Andy Harris at (252) 813-9988.
