General Information
The following specifications
have been prepared by Fremont Speedway as guidelines for the construction
of the 305-Sprint Division. No warranty of safety is expressed or
implied as a result of this publication of rules. These rules are
intended as guide and are in no way guarantee against injury or death to
participants, spectators, or others. Anything not covered by these
specifications should be approved by the track officials and placed in
writing. Continuous developments in auto racing and technology may
mandate changes in these specifications. However, it is our
intent to enforce and police these rules throughout the season. If
a change is necessary, technical bulletins will be prepared and distributed
in advance.
This division was developed
for the fun of racing in a low cost fashion. This requires limits
in various areas to keep competition equal and fair for all participants.
In order to accomplish this, if it doesn’t say you can – don’t! With
the help and consideration of the participants, this can be accomplished.
Try to live within the spirit of the rules. If you have questions,
please contact track officials before you are found illegal for competition.
The only titanium that
is allowed is the lower shaft in the rear end.
Track officials have the final say in
determining the eligibility of each participant.
