Are you racing this series on your 'open coarse' or a strait drag track? Also, I assume the qualifying vehicles must be modern-style road/race cars...No trucks, muscle cars, hot rods, or classics...correct? (Also, can you define "rally car"?) Sorry for all of the questions, but I'd like to enter and I want to be clear on da' rules.

1. I have 3 tracks, one for each day.First day:Drag Race at 20 ft Mid Florida Speedway.
Second:Vail Race Course(one you guys saw).
3rd Day: A wooden track with cardboard walls called Jensen Springs.
2. Correct. GT40s are allowed too, so Smitty will have stuff to work with.
3. No cars like Subaru Imprezas, Mitsubishi Evo X....you know, DCR Mountain Rally Championship type stuff.

I would love to host an open and or a drag strip style race, but I can only do it on the December weekends of the 21/22nd and the 28/29th

Weber Canyon Rally

Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

And my drag strip is a two laned/orange segmented track/18 footer.

Let me know!

p.s I'm participating

Aww, c'mon Smitty....its a `60s era Ford, right? I can see it now...a 'chopped nose' GT40 body mounted on an Urban Agent chassis w/a metal Altered State engine...."the LeMans prototype according to Sloppies"...do it, man!!!!

Gotta' coupla' questions.
MUST ENTER ONE CAR is obvious, is there a limit?
Are FTE1s OK on stocks, just not mods?
Is that a Renault on the bottom row, third from the right?

THANKS,

THANKS,

1.Yes. I can not afford the shipping otherwise, or it's a freebie for me!
2.Yes. They can be used on stockers.
3.Yes. The Renault Megane Trophy is a touring car, as well as a rally car.(Barely qualified to be in this event. )


AlL are fine except the Pikes Peak Tacoma, The Honda S2000 and the RX-7. Unless your doing a tune up by giving it a spoiler, etc.

Ummm, technically speaking...the RX-7 & Honda S2000 are considered 'modern' road/race cars. At least I've never seen one in a real rally series(not that I follow that kind of stuff).
