Sportsman Level Racer Policy
Sportsman classes were created to help develop the skills of our new and young racers without requiring them to compete in the open classes immediately.
Racers who enter the sportsman classes are eligible to race 2wd Sportsman and 4wd Sportsman only, with the exception of classes which have been defined as entry allowed to sportsman racers.
***Currently the only defined class is Stock 2wd Electric Buggy
