r they gonna have the powder puff class like the spring derby was suppose to

[tussey24]

OK THIS IS THE SAME RULES YOU GUYS RAN IN ADAIR CO FOR SMALL CARS SO WE CAN RUN HOOD BOLTS AND HOMEMADE BUMPERS CORRECT I DON'T WANT TO CUT MY SELF SHORT BY BEING UNDER BUILT

[HotWired Customs]

Mini Car Drivers: There have been some calls about "kickers" to the front frame rails. We will allow you to have them but here's how this will go. Say there are 3 cars total with kickers and 8 cars without kickers...you will CUT 2-3" out of the middle of the kickers before you will be allowed to run! Most have said this area has more hard cars but we are going more with the total basis of what cars will have at time of inspections when considering these kickers! So, be prepared to cut them or come without them if you feel that you will end up cutting them....

[tussey24]

So the posted rules mean nothing bring on the homemade pointy bumpers and kickers yeah thats what im talking about

[HotWired Customs]

Posted rules with the exception of this one kicker! I wouldn't push the limits to much, we are just allowing them since majority of calls have all been about this one particular kicker. You can contact Clayton if u need too.
