into the racing bracket. Any truck that does not receive a qualifying time will be given a DNF (Did Not Finish) and
be placed into the bracket accordingly. Quickest qualifying time will get lane choice in eliminations. -
Once a racer has “staged” his/her truck at the starting line, the other racer has one minute to stage his/her truck.
-
A five minute grace period will be allotted only if the racer encounters a problem at the starting line. Each racer will be
allowed to receive only 1, five minute grace period per race. -
If the truck moves across the staging plane before the green light is illuminated, then the red light will illuminate,
indicating a false start. This is an automatic DQ, and the other racer will advance automatically to the next round. -

tires.Track Marshaling is not allowed.If your vehicle flips over and can’t be saved by its own power your run is done. -
The truck may not hit or come into contact with any part of the timing system or its barricades during the run. If this
happens, it will result in a DQ. -

the opposing truck will be granted the win only by a legal pass. -
In the event that all four tires go into the opposing lane, the truck will be disqualified. If only two tires cross, and you
are able to recover, you are safe.If a driver runs into the opposing lane and makes contact with the opposing truck it will result in a DQ. -
In the event that a racer with multiple entries in the same class should have to race themselves, each truck will run one
at a time on the track in different lanes. The truck that records the fastest lap time will advance to the next round. -

Ultra mod was created to give builders a place to put a scale driveshaft truck. Normally a scale truck with a cage and the extra added weight would not be able to compete in pro mod or sport mod due to its top heavy design. The vision for this class is to have builders design a truck that is scale in appearance and speed.
