WEIGHT
Minimum weight with the driver shall be:
NON WING
PUMP GAS
MICRO/MINI 636cc/750cc – 775lbs.
UPRIGHT 1000cc - 925lbs
NON WING
METHENOYL
MICRO/MINI 636cc/750cc – 825lbs.
UPRIGHT 1000cc - 975lbs
these are STOCK motors....the biggest reason the difference in gas and methenoyl is cost for the change over..I am also implementing a shock rule...a series shock for under 125.00 per shock....there is no need to go spend 1000.00 per shock for this kind of racing. Of course the 3/4 money guy's do not like it but the 15/20 underfunded teams love it
the shock rule is for our regular season NOT the winternationals the weight for the winternationals are close

We don't weigh because it's a given we weigh enough before we startthe race.
This is why my weights are the way they are...why does a big racer have to feel handicapped...the guy's that have tiny boys and girls or kids in there cars sure can add weight alot easier....but then again when you remove the crutch up top it does bring everyone so much closer
