TIRES:

The (Goodyear Double Eagle 205/50 x 10 2 ply or 4 ply, Kenda 205/50 x 10, ITP 205/50 x 10, and Green Saver 205/50 x 10 are the only approved tires.  Tires must not be shaved (cut down) or regrooved, and must remain stock in appearance except for normal wear.

It is prohibited to use traction compounds or any substance that might alter the physical properties of a tire as supplied by the manufacturer.  Tire cleaners, shiners, tire softeners, track adhesives, brake fluid, diesel fuel, etc. will not be permitted.

WHEELS:

Wheels must be aluminum with a minimum of 0.06” thickness and a maximum wheel size of 10” x 8”.  Steel wheels cannot be used.  Black Label Douglas or cast aluminum (ITP) wheels with 4 lugs are preferred.  Any steel or thin wall aluminum wheels currently being used shall be replaced if deemed unsafe for competition.

MISCELLANEOUS

BATTERY:

A stock battery or one of very similar dimension and weight to the stock battery may be used.  A top post or side post battery may be used.  A battery box, terminal coverings and rubber padding around rear end is highly recommended.  A battery shut off switch is optional.

CAR WEIGHT:

Minimum weight of car with driver is 825 pounds.

All cars are weighed with driver in car.  Competitors will not be permitted to add fuel after an event to meet minimum weight.

Any car that wins three races in a row or places in five races in a row must add 25 pounds to the Post Tech weight of the car before the next race.  If the car continues to dominate the field, another 25 pounds will be added.

This rule is to keep the entire field more competitive.

CHAIN GUIDE:

Chain guides are mandatory for all MSRS cars.  The chain guide attaches to the sprocket on the axle, can be single or double sided.  Aftermarket chain guides are permitted.

FUEL:

Only petroleum-based unleaded or leaded gasoline as defined by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) is permitted.  The maximum octane to be used is 108.  MSRS reserves the right to require all cars use the same brand and designated grade of gasoline in any given event.

MSRS can conduct laboratory analysis of fuels.  Samples for lab analysis may be taken from a competitor’s fuel tank at any time at the discretion of a MSRS technical inspector.  Laboratory results will be the final determining factor of whether illegal performance additives are present in the fuel sample.

Fuel cooling devices of any kind are not permitted.

Any competitor (driver and/or owner) caught using any illegal fuel additives will lose all owner points and points fund monies for the year and will be liable for the cost of the lab test.

FUEL CELL:

The only MSRS approved fuel cell is the RCI-1032C.  Fuel cells must be shielded between the roll cage and the tank itself.  Shield should be a minimum of 16-gauge steel.

The MSRS Technical Inspector reserves the right to disallow a car from competition that does not appear to be safe, MSRS and technical inspectors assume no liability for any injuries that may occur as a result from relocating the fuel cell regardless of the approval given to compete in a MSRS event.

Fuel cells must be vented.

Fuel caps must be securely tightened.

FUEL FILTERS:

After-market fuel filters may be used.  No glass fuel filters will be permitted.

FUEL PUMPS AND REGULATORS:

The fuel pump and regulator may be electric or vacuum.

FUEL SHUT OFF SWITCH:

A fuel shut-off is mandatory and must be placed between the fuel cell and engine within drivers reach.

MIRRORS:

Mirrors are allowed in a MSRS car, as long as they are mounted inside of the car and they do not stick out past the side edge of the car. They may be mounted to both sides of the car on the roll cage.  Mirrors shall not exceed 24 square inches per side.

 

MOUNTING AND ADDING WEIGHT:

The blocks of lead must be bolted directly to the frame with a minimum (2) 3/8 grade 8 bolts with locked nuts.   The weight must be mounted in the driver’s compartment or in the side rails and not at the front end or at the rear end of the car.

If weight is to be added into the frame rails the ends of the frame rails must be secured.  There is a 54% maximum left side weight plus or minus 0.5%.  Weight may not be added using a fire extinguisher.  If a fire extinguisher is present in the car it must have a pressure gauge and be functional.  Weight must not be added to the front or rear bumpers of the cars, only to the side rails or in the driver’s compartment.  All mounting of the weight is subject to approval by the MSRS technical inspectors.

RADIOS:

Radios are optional.  No drivers or crew members are permitted to use radios for blocking of any kind and if it is determined you have been using them for blocking you will lose the use of your radios for the rest of the season.

SHEET METAL:

The minimum thickness of sheet metal is 0.036”.  The sheet metal may not be removed or altered in any way.

WEIGHT SAVINGS MEASURES:

Lightening “stock” components by shaving, milling, drilling or any other method is illegal.  Any item on a MSRS car that is used (other than what is mentioned in the rules) as a weight saving method is considered illegal.

WHEELBASE:

All cars must compete with a 67” plus/minus ½” on either side.  Front axle center line to rear axle center line is used to measure wheelbase.  The measurement will be taken with the front and rear tires on one side in line with each other.  To determine this, the measuring tool or tape measure must touch three points.  These points are the front of the rear tire sidewall and the front and rear of the front tire sidewall.  The measurement is then taken from the front edge of the front wheel to the front edge of the rear wheel.  The process is the same when measuring wheelbase on the opposite side of the car.

 

TECHNICAL INSPECTION

TECHNICAL INSPECTORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO:

• Determine the timing and method cars are to be inspected and quantity of cars to be inspected.
• To inspect any car at any time the car is on any given track property.
• Impound for any length of time, any car or part for inspection.
• Impound any car involved in any accidents or injuries.
• Limit the number of people in any area where inspections are taking place.
• Limit the number of people involved in a protest.
• Tech inspector reserves the right to confiscate any parts deemed illegal.

The fact that an infraction has not been noted or discovered does not make it legal.  All decisions made by Tech Officials are Final, but the Technical Inspector cannot change any existing rules without a vote from the members of the Association.

PRE-SEASON TECHNICAL INSPECTION:

All cars must go through a full technical inspection prior to racing in any MSRS event.  Preseason tech will take place on a minimum of two (2) dates prior to the start of the racing season.  If you cannot make one of these dates, or you have a new car to register with the MSRS you must schedule a time for inspection with the Technical Inspector (at their convenience) for inspection of your cur.

RACE EVENT TECHNICAL INSPECTION:

Technical inspection may occur before and/or after a race and will include, but is not limited to checking rev limiters and brakes.  MSRS Tech Officials may at their discretion check fuel, weight, or for any rule infraction before or after any race.

You must have enough fuel in your fuel cell after the race for the tester if fuel testing takes place or you will be disqualified.

You cannot add fuel after a race.

PROTEST

The purpose of the protest is to provide a “safety value” to help keep the series competitive and to keep the cost of racing affordable.  Only current owners of the MSRS cars may protest a component.  Any specific components of a competitor’s car may be protested by any owner in that feature after the race in the amount designated in terms of cash or certified check.

The protest and full payment (in cash or certified check) must be presented to the MSRS Tech inspector no later than the start of tech after the race.  Once a protest is made, it may not be withdrawn.  All purse und points will be distributed after a decision on the protest has been made.  Tech inspectors will not accept verbal protest or protest in which the required protest fee not accompanies. A protest must and will be put in writing by the protester.

The protested component will be removed if needed from the car, made available for inspection by the protesting owner and delivered to a MSRS tech inspector for inspection.  The following people will be permitted to be present at the protest site, MSRS tech officials, the protesting owner, the protested owner and crew and a speedway management representative.  If a decision at the track cannot be made, then the component will be sent to an authorized agent MSRS for a final decision on legality.  On a protest, it is the protested owners’ duty to prove his legality, not the MSRS tech officials or protesters’ owner duty to prove the violation.

ILLEGAL CARS OR COMPONENTS:

After inspection, if the protested component is found illegal, the owner of the car will be disqualified from that event, forfeit all prizes and points earned at the event and may face possibility of more penalties at the discretion of MSRS Officials.  The protest money will be returned to the team filing the protest.  The owner who was found illegal will be responsible for inspection fees and shipping charges if needed.

REFUSAL OF A PROTEST:

If the owner of the protested car does not allow inspection under these terms, he or she will be disqualified, forfeit all points, purse monies, prizes and awards earned at that event and possible suffer more penalties as determined by MSRS Officials. The car will also be suspended from competition.

COST OF PROTEST:

WEIGHT	$150.00
FUEL	$150.00
CARBURETOR	$150.00
TIRES	$150.00
ENGINE*	$350.00

*Head, side plate and carburetor will be removed.

Anyone caught using illegal items or cheating in any way will result in an immediate disqualification and you will lose all owner points and points fund monies for that event.
