About Senior Group 10

The Senior Group 10 class is the next level up from Novice Group 10, and is intended to be a mainstream class to allow drivers with less winning experience to race with their peers.

While still running a sealed handout motor identical to those run in Novice Group 10, the bodies are NASCAR-style bodies instead. These bodies typically have less downforce than the Novice Group 10 bodies, and allow an individual's driving ability and chassis setup skills to play a greater factor within the race.

This class, the second one to run on raceday, is typically the largest class of the day. Fields normally range anywhere from 17-42+ entries. It's a highly competitive race, and is usually hotly contested throughout the season for the points championship.

Restrictions: Any racer who has won more than three Championships in any combination of classes, not counting the Novice Group 10 class, will not be allowed to enter the Senior Group 10 class.
