Safety:
Please read this carefully.
Participating in a Truck Challenge drag race or any sanctioned drag race is a PRIVILEGE - not a right. To earn and maintain the privilege of racing, each driver will be required to comply with ALL safety rules. Period.
Keep in mind, we are a group of Truck drivers having fun AND the host track has the right to impose ANY rule for the safety of participants. Please also note that it is NOT the Truck Challenge Staff that determines what safety equipment and procedures to follow while at the track. It is the host track that makes these determinations. Please take the time to log on to the host tracks website and familiarize yourself with THEIR safety requirements.
The above information is not intended to be a complete rules list but, rather, a guideline for those that may be new to drag racing and somewhat unfamiliar with general drag racing rules.
ANY RULE BREAKING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
Any additional items will be covered at the drivers meeting between rounds.
Questions can be asked at the drivers meetings or posted here.
Good luck everyone,,, here is to another safe and successful year at the track, racing with friends :rock:
