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
World GT Spec Tires:
  - Tires will be BSR World GT Spec Tires

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 Speed Control Rules:
 - Tour speed control rules apply rules here
 - Applies to all classes but Pro Mod & SK
 - Pro Modified is open speed controls
 - SK speedos/versions available on Oct 1st.

Brushless Motor Rules:
ALL 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.
 - 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

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:

 - Only LiPos Roar approved by 10-01-11
 - Pro Mod Roar legal packs as of 01-20-12
Note: Just having a Roar approved sticker doesn't necessarily make it a pack legal.

Legend Battery Rules:
Battery can not be opened from factory.
Must have stock plugs and shrink.
