We are introducing a new division called the Factory - 4's.  This is a stock, entry level division designed for economy, competition, learning and fun.  This is a claimer division with competitors racing for trophies only. 

This division has been developed for economical, competitive racing and is characterized as a FUN, LEARNING division. If you take racing too seriously, this division is not for you. In order to keep the division affordable, vehicles are subject to a claim and race for trophies only. The top 3 point finishers will be claimed at the conclusion of the season. At the discretion of track officials, vehicles will compete both clockwise and counter-clockwise. See "Claim Rule" for details.
