Car Information
Rallycross welcomes most cars!
It doesn’t matter what you bring, whether it is your VW Golf or Ford Raptor. We can find a place for you.
- Trucks: General rule of thumb: They must be wider rather than taller. This eliminates rollover possibility.
- Fun Fact: Did you know most drivers compete in their daily drivers?
- Many locations require vehicles to be registered. Double check with your event organizers if your vehicle is not registered to insure you are able to race.
Car Classing Basics
In general, there are three main classes: Stock, Prepared and Modified. These three are then broken down into what drivetrain you have. There is a constructor class, which allows UTV’s. However, those can be a little tricky and we recommend you to refer to the rulebook for email us with any questions.
- Stock Class: Car must be stock, all parts from the factory and no tunes allowed.
- Prepared Class: Step up from stock class. Suspension, rally tires and bolt-ons are allowed. ie: aftermarket radiators, intercoolers. Tunes are allowed. No major motor mods or horsepower gains. ie: stroker kits or e85 conversion.
- Modified Class: You: "Can I have this part?" Us: "Yes." The sky is the limit here. Provided the car is safe, you may bring your fully built race car here.
- Roll Cages / bars are allowed in any car, regardless of class. The more safety gear the better.
Car Preparation for Race Day
- All components must be bolted down. Make sure your battery is bolted down tightly and all 10mm sockets are out of your engine bay. Can't be losing them out on course too.
- No fluid leaks! Check to make sure you're not leaking oil or coolant. These are not only bad for the environment, but also can be dangerous out on course.
- Be mindful of fire! If you're popping little flames due to being too rich, you will be asked to leave. This is California, we have enough fires as is.
- Helmets are required and many events do not offer loaner helmets. Refer to the rulebook for specifications.
