5th: 4
6th: 3
7th: 2

Classification System

Registration

You can register for all events at: http://www.speedventures.com/

Tech Inspection

A standard Speedventures tech inspection form needs to be completed and turned in during registration before each event. In addition, a separate checklist will need to be filled out at each event that tallies up the points for each of your modifications.

In regards to the classifications system, WE WILL BE OPERATING ON AN HONOR SYSTEM!!! It will be far too time consuming to check each car and their respective mods. However, if there are any disputes, Speedventures has the right to inspect your car to ensure that it conforms to the classification system.

Prizes

There will be prizes given away to the podium finishers in each class at each of the events, as well as grand prizes at the end of the year. Thanks to all our sponsors and their respective contributions to the prize pool!
