    • Oval minimum lap time will be 6.0
    • Road course minimum lap time will be set the night of the event.
    • This is a fun race we run weekly.  Typically has a cash payout.  Any lap ran faster than the minimum lap time will not count, so any car with any mod can race and compete.  This makes for some very close races and very tight battles.  
    • Typically we have a no marshall rule for this so if you crash and flip you are out of the race.
