2024 Sunny South Raceway Pro Challenge Rules  
 
No pretense is made of having designed a full proof set of rules and regulations. The spirit and intent of the rules contained in these rules are meant to be the Standards by which the Pro Challenge Class is guided. If the Rules do not say you can do it, then it is against the rules as currently written. SSR Officials are authorized to decide if an equipment change is an attempt to beat the rules. Officials may disqualify an entry in violation of the spirit and/or intent of the rules.
When disagreements or disputes arise regarding the meaning or application of the Pro Challenge rules, the interpretation and application by the officials at the track shall prevail. An SSR track representative shall have the right to initiate action correcting a hazardous condition or a condition not in compliance with the spirit and intent of these rules.
The cars and engines are designed to remain in the original form in which they were purchased “OEM” from Pro Challenge Race Cars. SSR reserves the right to impound any car or equipment for further evaluation at its’ sole discretion. Failure by any competitor or team to comply with this impound procedure will be disqualified for the event, which includes a forfeit of its’ finishing position, any points or position money, and may be required to pass a Factory Technical Inspection at their expense before being allowed to compete in any future SSR Pro Challenge events.
Illegal parts may be confiscated. Also, if an infraction occurs during an inspection or impound, any costs to fix, repair, return, etc. will be the responsibility of the Owner/Driver.
