Main Topic: Racecar on a budget
Want to race in the limited classes of ULTRA4 Racing?
Smittybilt Everyman Challenge and 4500-4800 races throughout the season are our limited classes!
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help make it happen!
1.Make sure your vehicle meets our tech rules and you have proper safety equipment.
There are three classes racing in the EMC which runs on a modified course the day before KOH itself. Classes are Stock (4600), Modified (4500) and Legend (4800). You do not need to pre-qualify for the EMC but your vehicle must meet the tech and safety requirements outlined here: http://ultra4racing.com/racers/rulebook/. See Section 6.3 for Stock, Section 6.4 for Modified, and Section 6.4.11 for Legend.
2. Create a driver profile at www.ultra4racing.com/races and register.
You have a couple of options when registering for the race, specifically whether to commit to signing up for an entire Regional Series as well as KOH or not. If you choose to sign up for a Series as well as KOH, you will receive significant savings throughout the year compared to those who enter race by race. See the race entry pages for more information.
The race registration process is straight forward, but should you get stuck, we have created these step-by-step registration instructions. If you already registered to race with ULTRA4 before, please use the same login and password. If you have any questions registering, please email Shannon Welch at Shannon@ultra4racing.com
3. Pay for your race
The address to send checks to and online payment options are all available once you have registered online and signed up for the event.
4. Sign up for USAC Insurance
All drivers and co-drivers MUST have either annual or single use USAC insurance purchased. Pre-purchasing your USAC insurance online saves tons of time on site. Costs are still being determined and will be emailed to already registered drivers once they are known.
5. Be prepared for additional mandatory costs
At KOH there will be additional mandatory costs (including USAC insurance mentioned above) including but not limited to: IRC trackers, pit crew bands, tech fee (included in an annual USAC membership, or charged separate if not paying for an annual USAC membership). Payment and pricing for these costs will be emailed to you as they are known.
6. Show up and race!
See you soon.
Pending you had a 10K budget, how would you build your rig?
