About the General Rules
All General Rules apply to every N.E.C.C. division, as well as the specific rules indicated for each class. It is the responsibility of each and every racer to be familiar with the rules governing the classes (divisions) that they choose to race in, and to make sure that their cars and motors comply with those rules.
Any updates for competition-legal parts are announced one month prior to the race they will be legal for. These announcements are made during the preceding race event, and posted on this site as a courtesy.
Division rules may be accessed by using the Quick Links section on every page. A complete copy of the rules is available for download on the Downloads page.

These rules will stay in effect until the last scheduled race in May of 2008. The only changes that will be made to these rules will be for clarification purposes.
