2008 Claim Rules:

 

Claim and exchange rule is in effect at all times. Claim amount is $1250.00 plus your car. This rule will allow the claimant and claimer to continue to race the following week. Only the driver finishing one position behind can claim the car ahead of him. This claim is for the whole car minus seat and harness. If you can't build a car for $1250.00, then don't build one for this class. Any driver who refuses a claim will be disqualified for the next two events. If he or she denies a claim a second time in the same season, he or she will be suspended for the remainder of the season. We are going to put the ÒstockÓ back in stock car racing. If you do not see it in the rules or specifications, DO NOT DO IT. This division is intended for those who wish to race but don't want to spend a lot of money. For those wishing to stretch the rules or spend more than $1250.00 in a car, then pick a different division. This division is slated to be one of the most exciting divisions at  WCS and kept affordable enough for all to enjoy. For more rules info for the UCAR Clash or WCS call Larry P.
