Race Info:
We are going to be using the following tires below in the Invitational class. Green compound will be supplied during check-in on Thursday and Friday as rears and 2wd fronts. 4wd fronts will be blue compound. Additional tires in the same compounds will be available through the hobby shop.
3016-02 V1 (2wd / 4wd rear) Bar Codes green compound
3017-02 (2wd front) Bar Codes green compound
3020-01 (4wd front) Bar Codes blue compound
Tire program –
Although we will not have an official inspection during check-in for mounting we will make random checks immediately following races. Our goal is to have a level playing field with the tires and open cell inserts front and rear. It will be permitted to use a rear open cell (white) insert in the front, cut to width but we would like to make it as simple as possible for the racers. We are promoting a level playing field but most of all we want it to be fun and entertaining.
· Compound check
· Insert check – stock open cell (white) inserts
· Tread, natural wear (no true slicks or complicated pre-trimming)
· Tire traction / additive = house rules
Invitational class program –
Drivers engaging in bad driving will be asked to clean it up or stop and wait for a driver to retake position. Incidents do happen on the track but it’s important to be courteous and act professional. Absolutely no yelling or arguments will be tolerated from drivers. If you are involved in a conflict, the drivers will be asked to leave. The race director has the official say on all decisions and they are final.
Open class program –
This will be run as normal and should be very simple and straight-forward. IFMAR Style qualifying and heads-up starting in the main events. As always, courteous driving is encouraged and will be dealt accordingly as described in the invitational class program.
For additional questions, please ask the management crew at the event or see the race flyer.

I've herd roumors this weekend that the invintational guys are being allowed to run in open as well? If this is true, i will not be comming, why should I drive down there, spend all this money on parts, hotel, tires and entry fees but the invitianoial guys get tires andrun twice as much? I've talked with a couple people and herd this, I hope not, this would kill this race,

Problem is if you take away the 24 in the invitational you would only have like 10 left in the open classes. I'm in agreement though, it would be nice if the 24 wouldn't run in the open classes and let the guys not worthy compete for the scraps. :-)
Steve also needs all the entries he can get cause in the next 4 months or so he will be constructing the outdoor offroad track. That can't be cheap.

I think what some guys are missing here is it is 2 seperate events, but they are just ran at the same time... If I had to choose between the invite and running the open race I would choose the open event most likely... no one should be discouraged because invite drivers are allowed to run in open classes, if you never get beat you won't in my opinion ever get any faster.... If you chose to sit out you will be missing out on a great event no doubt... another option is to run stock, I dont believe any of the invite racers are running stock.....hope to see everyone friday.....

I know a few guys that wont make the trip if this rule is true. Why even have a invite class?
