      No twisting/cranking of arms.  No broken/cracked ceramic locking tabs.  No twisted/tweaked brush hoods. 
      No milling of arms or drilling of arms (overdrilling or balancing).  They must be the way they came from us.
   At any time a motor may be pulled from your car to be checked.  Top qualifiers from each round will be pulled.
   If running two stock classes - you can swap with your motors.  Racers must use their own handout motors.

       No broken/cracked ceramic locking tabs.  No overdrilled or milled arms.  If we feel an arm has been over-
       drilled with the intent of increasing performance it will be banned (not just for balancing purposes).  No
       twisted or tweaked brush hoods.  If you are unsure about your motor please have us inspect.  It's your
       responsibility that your motors are legal. 
   At any time a motor may be pulled from your car to be checked.  Top qualifiers from each round will be pulled.
   No pieces from other motors or original Chameleon allowed.  This class is bring-your-own - not handouts.

   Epic components in Epic, etc.  No brushless motors allowed. 

3300's legal in all classes.  All tire traction legal.  All radios/modules will be impounded by racers during races.
Tire truing in designated areas this year per the request of the hotel.  Confirmation letters will be mailed out.

We have several members in our tech crew that will ensure a great event.  Last year we did catch some twisted arms, switched arms, replaced magnets.  So please race fair.   The Thunder Racing Crew is one of the best in R/C!

     Don't Miss the Club Races
We have a lot of practice time for racers to choose from.  However - the club races have turned out to be one of the attractions of the 'Birds.  On-Road club race is Wed night at 7pm - Oval club race is Thurs night at 7pm.  This is the ultimate!  Race on the clock - see who's fast - watch your racing buds - great practice and fun.  Cost to race these is $10.00 and sign up on raceday.  There will be a heat race - resort - then another heat race.  Overall fastest wins between the 2 races.  The goal is to be done at a decent time.  The number of racers will be limited this year for both the club races and Snowbirds.
