RULE BOOK DISCLAIMER

The rules and/or regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of racing events and to establish the minimum acceptable requirements of such events. These rules shall govern the condition of all such events, and, by participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have complied with these rules. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM PUBLICATIONS OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH, THESE RULES AND/OR REGULATIONS. These rules are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to a participant, spectator, or official.

The race director, or designated AllStar Race Truck Series, LLC (ARTS) Race Official in charge, shall be empowered to permit minor deviations from any of the specifications herein or impose any further restrictions that, in their opinion, do not alter the minimum acceptable requirements. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF SPECIFICATIONS. Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the ARTS Race Officials, and their decision is final.

Regulations and specifications set forth herein are automatically amended by directions contained in subsequent Official Entry Forms and Official Technical Bulletins issued by ARTS.

All specifications and regulations contained herein are subject to deletions, additions, and/or modifications by the above or by verbal directive of the National Series Director or National Technical Director without expressed prior notification.

The official rulebook of ARTS is the most current version located at www.allstarracetrucks.com. Printed copies or electronic copies at other authorized locations are stagnant representations. All updates made at www.allstarracetrucks.com supercede all other presentations.


GENERAL RULES

Continuous developments in racing may necessitate changes that cannot be anticipated at the time rules are formulated. Hence, if necessary, rules may be updated, modified, added to, or deleted at any time, as needed. In addition to this, the "Except in Rare Instances" rule will be in effect at all times.

ARTS intends for all trucks to be competitive with each other. If you do something to your truck that these rules have overlooked, and that ARTS feels gives you an unfair advantage over other competitors, you will be required to reverse these changes.

If there is a question on any rule herein, on specifics or clarification, the best "rule of thumb" is, if you do not see something specifically explained, consider it to be illegal, because ARTS will.
