2/22/25 – ROADRUNNERS / THUNDER 4 MINIS
DRIVER ELIGEBILITY – The Roadrunner division is intended to be an entry level / low budget class. With that in mind, the following eligibility guidelines are in play:
- Thunder 4 drivers may NOT run in the Roadrunner class (at least 3 Thunder 4 – or equivalent – starts in any of the past 3 years)
- Drivers with any racing experience above Thunder 4 are NOT permitted
- There is no limit to how long a driver may run in Roadrunners – HOWEVER – any Roadrunner driver that finishes in the top 3 in points for 3 consecutive years, will no longer be allowed in the class.
- Only with approval from track management, Roadrunner drivers may attempt up to three (3) Thunder 4 races in a given year to test their potential to permanently move up to the T4 class. This must be done with a seperate car that meets Thunder 4 rules. Once they have run the 3 races, the driver may choose to continue in the Thunder 4 class or remain in Roadrunners. If they choose to continue in T4’s they will not be permitted to stay in Roadrunners.
- Track management reserves the right to deny a driver from running in the Roadrunner class or remove anyone from the Roadrunner class based on performance
