GENERAL:

As Sportsman style rules vary greatly track by track, Mid-Am reserves the right to adjust rules regarding visiting Area Sportsman cars for fair competition. If your car is deemed to have parts or alterations that Mid-Am determines are outside of the normal scope of Area Sportsman rules or do not represent what Mid-Am defines as Sportsman Racing, you may not be allowed to compete, or you may be mandated an additional weight penalty.

We highly encourage every Area Sportsman competitor to read the Mid-Am rule book and discuss variances with Mid-Am Tech prior to any Event. We will do our best to work with you before the event.

 

*ALL AREA SPORTSMAN CARS ARE REQUIRED TO CHECK IN WITH TECH FOR INSPECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE PIT GATES OPEN
