Class Specs--2008
Limited Gas Sprints

The goal of the limited classes is to promote the RC racing hobby by allowing racers a chance to compete at a more even and cost-controlled environment. The limited class is not a beginner or sportsman class. The limited racer should have a basic understanding of car setup and a reasonable amount of racing experience to handle the speed and tight racing of the class. It will be a highly competitive class where car setup and driving styles will be the determining factor.

Tear Down Procedure:
Management or a limited class racer who raced in the same Main with the subject can request an engine tear down. Management retains the right to deny a tear down. The source requesting the tear down must put up $20 for the subject's time and materials. The subject will tear down his own motor after the class's A-Main in front of track tech officials using his own tools. Only management, tech officials, the subject, and the person requesting the tear down will be present during the procedure. The vehicle may be impounded until the engine can be torn down. If the engine is found to be in violation of the engine rules or the subject rejects the request, the $20 tear down fee will be returned to the source and the above rule breaking consequences will be followed.
