These are the rules, we do not yet consider them final and absolute. Please give feedback for the next two weeks or so and we will make them official on Christmas weekend.
Anyone planning to build up their car over the winter, please retain the receipts from any parts or work that went into the car. We are working on a contingency program that may make your mods worth more money if you place towards the top in your competitive class.
Thanks, let's hear some feedback.
