Registration & tech will be open Friday also so you can get everything handled then. If you print your entry form from the website and come with your check or cash in hand it should be a quick process. The practice will be informal: open sessions, probably about 8 laps each session, run in groups of similar vehicles, as many as we can get in during the 3.5 hours. If you want to run a session and get right back in line for the next session, you can do that, or run a session and then take a break for adjustments and come back out--whatever works for you. You should be able to get quite a bit of track time.

FRIDAY:
2:00pm – Gates open for RV move in

2:15pm -Media/Track Crew Safety Briefing

2:30-6:30 Registration/Tech open

3:00-6:30 Practice ($50 fee to participate)

11:00am-1:00pm – Heat Races

1:00-1:25pm – Track prep

1:25-1:30pm – Opening Ceremonies

1:30-5:30pm – Main Events

This weekend, all registered drivers will receive one driving session to their local Pole Position raceway to hone their skills in addition to some other great bonuses provided by series supporters. General Tire has also signed up to provide some end of the year purse money for participating racers in specified classes.

any prerunning allowed?

Is the entry fee really only $150 for 1450? If that's true I might really be interested in this once the truck is back together...

Also, does anyone know what Transponder is being used for this series?

I have pictures on my site from the race.
It looks like it would be good racing with a few more trucks out there plus at only $10 for people to get in it is cheap enough for friends to go and watch too.

For those of you who can't make it to the races, you can watch them live at liveondirt.com. Live camera feed and commentating on all races.

Wow...good info. When I get the truck together I will really try and run a few races.

Side note: this had me looking at the Glen Helen website, I didn't realize they are running FOUR Baja Cup Challenge races this year...for those of you who haven't ran the Baja Cup races you're missing out. I plan on running both of these when the truck is up and running again.

Also, I am going to make a post on the racer area about this short course series...maybe we can peak some more interest in there?

what do they look for on tech?

cage and cell. obviously window nets and battery disconnect. anything else?

they make sure you don't have a solid axle up front haha
