GENERAL NOTES
R/C vehicles outside of these official race classes will not be turned away; everyone gets a
chance to race in this club. The car will be placed with the most similar class based on scale and power system. For example, nitro powered Monster Trucks are place with 1/8th Scale Nitro Truggy. These vehicles do not collect points in the race series.
To earn points, a minimum of 3 vehicles must be registered at each race to complete a class. If only 1 or 2 vehicles are registered for a class, they will run with another class just for fun.
