*************************************************************************
**NEW FOR 2023**
1. Flipped Schedule: This year, in an effort to get more racing in, we’re going to be flipping out program upside down. This means that Saturday will be 2nd, 4wd and Stadium Truck and Sunday will be Classic, 4wd Classic, Heavy Metal, and Wheelie.
2: Classic Update: In an effort to get back to the spirit of the Classic Class, this year we are going to rule out any “race inspired” or “sport style” racing buggies. All cars in Classic must be entry level plastic tub type cars. Please shoot us an email if you’re not sure your car fits or not. We’re happy to help! Let’s have fun this year!
