4. All cars must have contrasting and easily identifiable numbers on the doors and roofs so that they can be easily be read by the scoring tower. (This has been a problem, remember your numbers need to be read from at least 100 feet away. If you don’t make your numbers easily identifiable then don’t complain that you aren’t scored properly!)

Safety Requirements Driver

1. Safety rules will be strongly enforced in this class. You will be required to have a full fire suit, a minimum full face Snell SA2000 or above approved helmet (DOT & Motocross Helmets will not be permitted because of the lack of fire protection), along with racing gloves, a 5 or 6 point racing harness in good condition and

properly installed, a good quality window net with a quick release latch, adequate roll bar padding, and an aluminum racing seat that is bolted at the bottom of the seat and the back to the roll cage (bolting the seat to the floorboard of the car will NOT be permitted). Racing boots, a neck collar or head & neck restraint is highly recommended.

Note: “Snell” is the foundation that provides the ratings for helmets. Approved helmets must have the “SA” on the identifying sticker to prove they are rated for fire resistance. SA2000, SA2005, SA2010, & SA2015 helmets are the only approved helmets for competition. For more information on the Snell foundation and rating systems visit: www.smf.org.

Car

1. Although we are strongly encouraging people to build and work on their own cars, if you have little or no experience putting in a safe roll cage, contact a good welder to help you install a good quality roll cage, your racing seat, and your safety belt and window net mounts. Your seat and belts must be mounted to the roll cage. Not to floor pan.

2. All cars will have a minimum of a 4 post roll cage. The minimum round tubing (Square tubing will not be permitted) size is 1 1/2” x .095 thickness, no exhaust tubing or old rusty well pipe allowed. The rollover bar will be behind the driver’s

head, with the upper halo section constructed to give the driver plenty of head clearance & protection to provide safety in the event of a rollover. All cars will have a minimum of 3 driver’s side door bars, as well as a single or an X door bar on the passenger side. A 30” wide by 12” tall by 1/8” thick driver’s side doorplate is required on all cars (minimum size). All doors must be bolted, welded or chained shut. The back of the seat must be secured to the horizontal back bar of your roll cage. An aluminum racing seat is mandatory. 3. Front Hoops may be added for safety as well as keeping the car from bending so easy. 1 3/4” round tubing maximum (no heavy square tubing or channel).

The rear bars may extend rearward from the top of the cage behind the driver, angling down to the rear of the trunk area. You may also have 2 bars extending back from the middle section of the back hoop, rearward. No bars may extend through the rear of your trunk area. Your may have an X in between your two rear diagonal bars. The rear strut towers may be supported with your back bars, to help keep your strut towers in place. We will be allowing bars to extend through the front and rear firewall, for added protection for the driver. These bars may attach to the strut towers, but may not go any farther. Cars must have shut off switch next to driver window which can easily be reached from the outside of the car by the safety crew.

You may add one piece of 1 3/4” x .090 (maximum size) tubing between your frame horns (both front & rear) to give you a solid place to attach your chain/cable hook-up. You may attach expanded sheet metal or screen in front of your radiator to protect from debris & mud.

All stock tanks located behind the rear end must be removed and replaced with a 10 gallon (or smaller) fuel cell and placed forward of the center line of the rear struts in the trunk / rear seat area. Fuel cells must be isolated from the driver compartment and contained in a metal frame connected to the roll cage / rear strut support bars (simply strapping your tank to the floor of the car will not be permitted). All cars running fuel cells will be permitted to build a firewall from behind the driver seat leading to the trunk area consisting of 20 gauge (.020) minimum steel with absolutely no holes between the fuel cell area and driver compartment. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that all fuel cells have a “roll over valve” installed to aid in keeping fuel from leaking out in the event of a roll over. 2. All fuel pumps are required to be wired into a master kill switch to be mounted behind the drivers seat that must kill all battery power before going to the stock vehicle harness or fuel pump.

Both front & rear bumpers must be strapped or chained to the frame, to prevent dragging. When you remove the vinyl covering on your dashboard, you may cover up the “ugly stuff” with a piece of aluminum or sheet metal.

Use a sledgehammer on your bumpers to knock off all of the loose material on the bottom side of your car.
