The starting line will be on an elevated dirt pad that will have a gradual slope down to the flat racing surface. From there you follow the arrows in order of there color. So you start out with the red arrows then follow them to orange and then yellow charging hard down the diagonal starting lane. Next follow the light green around the first sharp turn, then dark green which takes you over the first dirt roller hill. After your over the dirt roller follow the blue arrows around the 2nd sharp turn approaching the 2nd dirt roller hill on the outside lanes. Once you get over that dirt roller keep following the black arrows making a wide sweeping turn around both turning pylons and charge hard through the speed traps to the finish line over the crush cars.

Qualifying and Elimination Bracket Racing Guidelines

1. In order to form a class, the minimum number of trucks must be 6 total.
2. Transmitters must remain off in the pits unless that participant is racing.
3. The race course and event format will be discussed in the drivers meeting. Each participant is required to be present during the drivers meeting. Any and all questions can be addressed during this time regarding the events and scoring.
4. Once a participant has “staged” his/her truck at the starting line you have one minute to stage.
5. A one minute grace period will be allotted only if the participant encounters a problem at the starting line. Each participant will be allowed to receive only 1, one-minute grace period per run.
6. If the truck moves across the staging plane before the green light is illuminated, then red light will illuminate, indicating a false start.
7. Trucks are required to come in contact with the obstacle (e.g. crush car ramps or ramp) with any combination of two tires. If only one tire of either side of the truck contacts the obstacle, a 2 second penalty, for each occurrence, will be added to the participant’s final time.
8. The truck may not hit or come in contact with any part of the timing system or its barricades during the run, if this happened it will result in a disqualification.
9. When trucks are competing and one or both completes an illegal run, the first truck in violation will be disqualified. In the event that a time is unable to be recorded due to the violation, the remaining participant will be assessed the slowest time of the day.
10. In the event that any portion of a participating truck goes out of bounds, or drives into the other competitor’s lane, it will result in a disqualification of the truck in violation.
11. In the event that a competitor with multiple entries in the same class should happen to race him/herself, each truck will run 1 at a time on the track in different lanes. Whichever truck records the fastest elapse time will advance into the next round.
12. In the event that 1 truck red lights and his competitor cannot make it around the track for a legal run then the fastest loser with a legal run from that bracket will be brought back to advance to the next round.
13. If a truck records a disqualified qualifying run, they will still be seated in the elimination bracket after the slowest time. If there are multiple disqualified trucks in a qualifying round then each disqualified truck will be seated based on their running order.

Truck Pulling Guidelines

1. All participating trucks are required to be weighed immediately following the conclusion of the pull. If the vehicle is found to be over the required weight limit that truck will be disqualified from that round of the pulling competition.
2. Each participating truck will be hooked to the sled with the chain pulled tight. When the truck is no longer able to gain forward drive, a No Limit R/C Track Official will signal you to stop, thus ending your pull. The distance from the front of the pulling sleds skid plate will then be measured.
3. The Pulling track is 4' x 30'. In the event a participating truck goes out of bounds, the distance will be measured at the area of the pull sled which crosses the out of bounds marker.
4. There will be 2 rounds of pulling before the competition moves forward onto the pull off. If a competitor records a full pull in round 1, they are not required to pull in round 2.
5. This gives each competitor 2 chances to record a full pull which will earn them a spot in the pull off.  A “pull off” will result if two or more trucks record a full pull. For the “pull off” extra weight will be added to the sled until a winner can be determined. There will be only 1 round in the pull off.
6.  If a participating truck disregards a No Limit R/C Track Official’s signal to cease pull, which results in an over pull, the truck will be disqualified.
7. If  the pulling surface is carpet each truck is required to have the exhaust defected away from saturating the carpet pulling surface with oil and smoke, This can be done be re-indexing the exhaust pipe or by using a exhaust defector.
8. Small Block Pulling trucks can weigh no more than 15 pounds.
9. Sportsman Big Block Pulling Trucks can weight no more than 16.5 pounds.
10. Pro Big Block Pulling Trucks can weigh no more than 20 pounds.
