Rules.

Welcome to the Rules!

Before we dig into what is and isn't allowed in classes, we must state that we follow all safety rules Put forth by NASA Club Codes and Regulations (link here https://www.nasaproracing.com/rules) The CCR takes president over our rules.

Example: If we say you don't need window nets, and the ccr says you do... buy a window net.

Rule 1.1) Your not here to "go pro" if you want that go Spec Miata, or E30 racing.

Rule 1.2)  No crew actions allowed in hot pits

Rule 1.3)  The only  "performance" adjustments allowed during race weekend. are tire pressures, and rear swaybar... but that's it! leave your scales at home.
