• NO two-steps may be used.
• NO trans brakes
Anyone found using an electronic aiding device will be banned from running in the The Truck Challenge for a period of no less than one (1) year.
You ARE being watched by all Challenge & Track Staff.
The items mentioned above are not all-inclusive but are intended as samples of electronic devices designed to give a driver an advantage over other drivers.

NO ALCOHOL AT ALL when in this event as a driver. Alcohol consumption and possession is grounds for dismissal, you will be asked to leave the park and you will be BANNED from the Truck Challenge Permanently!


Your Truck:
Must be a Truck or SUV (Any year, Any model). It can be stock or highly modified, "bone to blown". Your Truck number MUST be the last 4 digits of your social security number or your NHRA number that you pay for. This will prevent any duplicate car numbers. The Truck MUST be in race condition.
NO LEAKING.
NO LOOSE PARTS.
NO A/C USE AT THE STAGING LANE OR WHILE RACING. ALL TRUCKS MUST HAVE DOORS, HOODS AND TRUNK LIDS (as applicable).
ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT MUST BE IN WORKING ORDER. THIS IS FOR THE RACERS SAFETY.
WE WANT YOU TO GO HOME IN ONE PIECE AND COME BACK TO RACE THE NEXT EVENTS.
FASTEST IS 11.50's. ANY FASTER MUST BE NHRA CERT


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:
