Event Information

Dirt Oval Racing is back at NZ's home of the Dirt Oval Speedway, the Citrus Bowl. New lights, timing, track and hut have allowed us to re-ignite the dirt oval racing. The new Losi 22s Sprint car and Traxxas Modifieds are the key to allow us to get this disipline of racing sorted. We have a basic rule set, check it out here https://www.rir.nz/dirtoval and have a read. We are allowing Traxxas Modifieds/Late Models to run as Super Modifieds and Super Late Models, but at this stage will run the class together and identify the Supers with a coloured roof sticker/window banner, to allow those that want the ability to add "performance" to do so.

Entry Details

Bring warm clothes, and head torches. It is dark. We will have some pit lighting, but more is good. Power on site.
