Please note these are subject to change should the racing crowd greatly object to any of the rules I've put forward. I do think this is the best set of rules to accommodate everyone that races. We use basic ROAR rules, but not as stringent. Here's some basics that apply to all classes:
1/10 Nitro must run 200mm bodies, no winged cars like the Lola or Escudo.
If there are not 4 people to run in a class, we will combine people on the track, but subdivide the end results to have "class winners". Kind of like how they run the 24 hours races at Daytona. Different class cars on the track at the same time, but class results. It also gets kind of fun when a lower class person beats out a higher class person.
1. Monster Truck: Same as last year, must have a monster truck body, and rims and tires. We did add in a minimum weight rule, 4 kilograms. Qalifiers will be 5 minutes, mains will be 10 minutes (for 5+ trucks, less entries will be 5 min mains) with a mandatory pit stop for all trucks.
2. Short Course Truck: Any 2 wheel drive short course truck. Spec motor is the Traxxas 12T Titan motor, any ESC, limit to either a 7.4V lipo, or a 6 or 7 cell NiMh/Nicad. Any Short Course truck is allowed, and must have short course truck off-road tires, no on-road tires or grooved tires. Quals and mains will be 6 minutes and heads up starts on all quals and mains. For the mains a coin flip will decide if the top 2 qualifiers start in front of the field, or behind.
3. Open Short Course Truck: Any 2 or 4wd Short Course truck. Any 7.4V lipo or new this year, any 6 or 7 cell Nimh/Nicad. Tires must be short course off-road tires. Bodies can be any Slash/Short Course Truck designed body. Any motor/ESC combo may be used.
4. VTA: Same rules as last year, but we have an equivalency rule for the ESC.

I will tech any car I deem to be violating the ESC rule. I will not be teching every car, but I'll know who's cheating. Any 21.5 motor is allowed. Any legal VTA body is allowed (if the 60's corvette by HPI is not on the list, we allow that one as well). Any new VTA style body that becomes available will be voted in/out by the VTA racers themselves. No FDR rule as well. VTA minimum weight rule 1550g.
5. Electric Touring Car Stock: 17.5 motor, 7.4V lipo, any ESC on any setting"blinky" mode. See VTA for equivalency ESC if you don't have a "Blinky" available ESC. 190mm Touring Car bodies only. Any gearing, spec tire (Currently the Solaris Tires). Minimum weight of 1400g. Any timing on the motor you would like.
6. Electric Modified: Similiar to Electric Stock Touring, but allowed to run any 190mm GTP or Touring or GT body. Any motor, any gearing. 7.4V lipo, 1400g minimum weight. Any 26mm tire.
