Banned Castings\\
Procedure\\
At the time of entry, you will receive one ticket per entry in order to help identify which class you have entered in. All cars must be shown at the registration table prior to entry. When races begin all racers will line up next to the track. You MUST present your ticket to the race official prior to being allowed to place the car on the track. The top two cars in each heat will be impounded at the finish line and will progress to the next round of racing. The first heat will continue until all tickets for that class are collected.

There will be no backup cars allowed to run. EACH car run will be charged an entry fee of $2 and must have its own ticket.

Also, if TWO cars of the same casting and issue are in the same heat, race officials and/or participants may ask for the cars to be marked in order to facilitate identification at the finish line. Marking will be done with a marker/paint pen on the base of the car.

Classes\\
Mainline Class
ANY Hot Wheels Mainline casting (no Ultra Hots, Classics, Acceleracers, etc.) from 1980 until present may be used. Package MUST be opened at the starting line ONLY.

Open Class
ANY Hot Wheels Mainline casting from ANY year may be used. No modifications to casting or wheels maybe used. Winners will be checked by judges for oil, graphite, baby powder, and weight modification. If any modifications are detected you will be disqualified.

Children's Racing
Free children's racing will take place throughout the day at various times. There will no longer be medals awarded for children's racing, but prizes will be given. Children are ALWAYS allowed to participate in the other classes for the same fees as adults.

Special Classes
In Special Class Races ONLY there are NO BANNED CASTINGS. This means that ALL cars fitting that category are allowed to race. For this show, there will be TWO classes:

1) American Muscle - Any classic American Muscle casting from any series. NO SIZZLERS (Tim... Billy... anyone).
2) Funny Cars - Oh... why not? You guys have been asking for it, so here it is! ANY FUNNY CAR from any series can be run in this class.

Note: The cost of the Special Class Race is now $2 per entry.



Biathlon
The rules are simple - customize a car, then race it. Your car will be judged based on the quality of your custom before being run in a race. The winner of the Biathlon class will have the highest score from both entries. Please Note: Your car MUST remain the same from the customs table to the race track. lls, altering the wings, etc, etc.
