RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR

STOCK TRACTORS

NOTE: ALL GENERAL RULES APPLY TO ALL CLASSES

This class is designed for, but not limited to, beginner drivers and new enthusiasts to join the sport.  Therefore, we will not allow any strengthening of tractors unless noted for safety purposes.

Just because it is not stated in the rules does not mean you can do it.  Officials have the final call on any discussed topic of issues not meeting the rules.  If you have questions, and to avoid failing tech, contact Wendel Hartman with Intimidation Motorsports before doing something by either messaging him on Facebook or call/text him at 301-501-0243. No gray area building. All rules will be enforced. Follow them or you will not run. We understand that people will bend the rules, push allowances to the max, or think of things we haven’t thought of yet. We can always address things at the next drivers’ meeting
