• We highly recommend drivers use arm restraints when racing.

Competition Rules:

• Each driver gets practice runs on the course if they choose, which will be listed on the Schedule of Events. Racers will be placed into a bracket by a random drawing system at tech. Each racer that wins their race per bracket will move onto the next round until the Final race is reached. Brackets will not be timed.
• Full track rules and penalties will be discussed at each event during the drivers’ meeting. (Please check the schedule for driver’s meetings. You must attend 1 driver’s meeting to race).
• Drivers only will be allowed in the competition area.
• Horseplay will not be tolerated in the competition area or in the pits. No warnings will be given, race officials will ask UTV to be parked for the remainder of the weekend and this is the sole discretion of the race official.
• ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL IN THE INFIELD. We will be checking and if anyone with a bracelet matches a driver or pit person, the driver will be disqualified with no questions asked with no runs, no points, no payouts at that event. This is before, during and after the racing class is over. This is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy.

UTV Fun Runs:

We will offer UTV Fun Runs if our Jamboree schedule allows for it with a UTV that isn’t competing in the shootout during shootout practice times on our infield course. This will be a show-by-show basis. These will be one at a time and not timed. Participants must pass tech inspection first and abide by the above rules.

1st – $400, 2nd – $100, 3rd – $50
