street stocks

It has come to my attention that Little Valley and SAS are going to allow roller rockers this year in the street stock class.  Seeing how all the (tracks are working together) we will allow them to. In my opinion, the street stock class is and has gotten out of control. With the $$$ that's in a street stock now it only makes sense to go with rollers for durability and longevity. We were trying to stay with the idea of staying as close a possible with the other tracks but now that the seals broken, its time. Sorry for such late notice, but i just found out for sure.

4 cyl Charger Rules (kids class)

Note - age will depend on experience and or ability to be determined by management. Minimum 12 with proof

Age clarifications

For the Youth 4 Cylinder class you must be 12 prior to your first race. With proof, and a minor release signed by BOTH parents on file. Take note all youths who are in the pit area have to have a minor release on file with the track before entering the pits. Please keep in mind prior experience in karts is a plus but regardless you will be tested on your own on the track prior to be allowed to compete. Bradford Speedway just wants to make sure you are safe. We will be tweaking the youth rules as needed to prevent any major money engines. These cars are to be box stock, used hi-mileage cars, low dollar to learn and have fun. etc. If any cars are by far faster we will slow them down to equal the field. (add weight). To compete in the pure or mini stock class you must be 14 prior to your first race. All other class are 16 prior to your first race. NOTE age will depend on experience and or ability to be determined by management.

Any pushing a car out of the way, including pinching into the wall, going in to hard and using another for a bumper car, cutting down on another car, YOU will be put to the rear.  I know you have to learn and that is why we are letting them get seat time but at the back of the pack so they can learn the right way.  Spin another car, you go to the rear with them. This will be enforced to the best of our ability. Spin the leader which results in a caution, the leader will get his spot back.

MOVE UP RULE - If the track promoter feels that a driver does not belong in the charger class based on level of experience or car, the promoter reserves the right to ask for a move up vote by the driver's competitors. This can be done starting with the 4th week of the racing season. The track promoter is the only person with the authority to call for such a vote. The vote will be by secret ballot and only other chargers drivers competing during the days events will be eligible to vote. Any driver may choose not to participate in the voting. If less than ½ of the eligible drivers wish to vote, the track promoter may assume that the move-up vote is not warranted and the vote may be called off. If over ½ drivers elect to participate in the vote, balloting will take place during intermission and the decision will be announced immediately. A majority of all votes cast is required to force a driver to move up and it will take effect the following week. An average of all drivers in the class, points will be awarded to the move up driver for starting points in the new class. (Bradford) only.
