INSPECTION - Any car is subject to full inspection by a Track Official at any time while at the raceway. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. Post-race disqualification does not require inspection of additional cars. All cars must be available for inspection immediately following an event. Failure to immediately report to the designated inspection area if so instructed by track officials will result in disqualification. Compliance with rules will be determined by the procedures, equipment and tools adopted and utilized by the raceway. Official weight is per track provided scales. Competitors are urged to check compliance against such standards before entering into competition. Contact a technical inspector or the pit steward prior to the pre-race hot lap session if you wish to have your racecar checked against any track equipment.

SINGLE CLASS RULE - Any points or handicaps earned are not transferable between classes. Drivers may compete in the new Charger class and any other single class on the same raceday but they must use two different vehicles. Drivers will be required to pay an additional pit admission in order to compete in the second division.
