Recently, we and other sprint car racing organizations/tracks, have experienced some safety issues concerning bolt-on weight and the unauthorized push-starting of race cars. After conferring and coordinating with others in the sprint car industry the below rules and updates have been created in an effort to insure a safe as possible environment for all. For clarity purposes the new rule additions and changes are in bold type. Everyone’s cooperation in adhering to these rules is appreciated.
