ROAD Spec Tire Classes:
Tires are not part of your entry fees.
You must purchase tires from us at the race.  Racers are limited on amount of 'race' tires.  We can sell unmarked tires for practice.
Touring Rubber Spec Tires:
  - Tires will be JACO touring rubber tires
  - Tires will be $30 a set of four
World GT Spec Tires:
  - Tires will be BSR World GT tires
  - Tires will be $30 a set of four

Non-timing Speed Control Rules:

 - Roar approved non-timing ESC rule
 - See the Roar approved list here
 - Must be on list and software version raced
If racing in non-timing speedo classes, be aware we have the right to inspect your speed control and/or have it inspected by others to verify legality (this means pulling out of your vehicle if necessary).
 - Oval uses TOUR rules for non-timing classes

Brushless Motor Rules:
ALL SPEC MOTORS WILL BE PRE-TECHED AGAIN BEFORE RACING BEGINS
Motors in the spec motor classes (13.5, 17.5, etc) can not be 'modified' externally or internally from factory. 'Normal' bearing changes, rotor replacement, etc is legal.  Motor timing adjustments are legal (as limited by manufacture design). By no modification, we mean physical and deliberate changes to the motor from what it was designed/sold for (no timing/can modifications, wire length altercations, solder tampering, stack shortening, etc.). No oversized modified rotors allowed in spec classes (must remain stock size/type). Tuning rotors are legal if on the Roar approved list for that specific motor (tuning rotors which are still spec sizes and are not modified style/size rotors). We will have our own inductance/resistance minimums and have ranges for motor winds/brands. Motors too low will not be allowed to race. Motors must be at the tech table/room temperature for testing. Motors must have been available for sale before race.
-  Roar spec motors here (D3.5 17.5s are legal)
 - No active cooling / freeze spraying motors
 - Heat sinks / single fan for motors are legal
 - No hybrids / mixing of brands or parts
 - 5 +/- degrees of trackside ambient to race
 - Modified uses Roar/Ifmar motor rules
 - Legends motor can not be tampered with
 - Spec motors approved by 01-18-13

LiPo Battery Rules:
LiPo users are responsible for their actions. It is recommended to follow all safety warnings (including the use of a LiPo sack).  Because oval and road currently has different rules for LiPos, we will also have separate rules:
ROAD LiPo Rules:
 - List of approved LiPos here
 - Modified Road Ifmar/Roar approved
 - Road 1S Max Voltage to race: 4.20 (roar)
 - Road 2S Max Voltage to race: 8.40 (roar)

OVAL LiPo Rules:

 - If over 4.22 must bleed to 4.20 to race.
 - 5 +/- degrees of trackside ambient to race
 - Only LiPos Roar approved by 10-01-12
 - Pro Mod approved by 01-18-13
Note: Just having a Roar approved sticker doesn't necessarily make a pack legal.

Tire Traction Rules:
There is an Odorless tire traction rule.  Traction is not handed out (bring your own).
Here is what is allowed (same as 2012):
 - Trinity Sticky Fingers
 - Jack the Gripper
