Car Check in: All cars must be “checked in” to the Race Admin Table between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM. Check in will include a technical and weight inspection. Each car will be assigned a sequential number. After the cars are checked in, all handling and racing of the cars is done by race personnel.

The Race:  Races will begin at 8:30 sharp.

Cars within each class will be pitted against each other (random selection) to determine the Slowest. All races will be conducted twice, with each car running once in each of the two lanes. Highest individual time for the two runs will determine the winner of the race.

Once started, each car must move continuously down the track to the finish line in both runs to receive a valid time. Prizes are awarded for the first three places in each age group and for the overall champion.
