Small Addictions RC Off Road Class Rules
Racing at Small Addictions RC is separated for competition by both car type and skill level, and the following are the current rules for each of the different classes that we offer.
Racers have the opportunity to advance to more experienced classes as they improve and gain more skill during the race season. Advancement is at the discretion of the race director based on performance and our scoring system. Once a racer is moved up to a more advanced class, the racer cannot step back down into a lower level class such as Novice, for example.
Please note that, due to attendance or special events, we may not offer all classes on the same race days.
