First will be taking back 60% at $300, Second taking back 30% at $150 and third will be taking back 10% at $50. Classes that have less than 7 entries will only have the top 2 guys splitting the purse 60/40, classes with under 5 entries winner takes all.

If a class gets over 30 entries 4th  and 5^th place will get 10% of the purse.

There must be at least 3 entries in each class in order for the class to exist.

Entry fees are as follows:

H&H:

Class 1,2,3,5 and ATV $25

Classes 4,6,7,      $35

Class 8                $50

If you believe someone is cheating or has possibly altered their truck after tech inspection, please notify an official BEFORE THE TRUCK HAS MADE IT’S PASS IN THE CLASS and a tech inspection for your complaint will be performed only to confirm you protest as soon as they are done racing. A protest will cost $100. If the person being protested against turns out legit he will get $50 and Mud in the Pines will collect the other $50. If you turn out correct you will get your money back and the other TRUCK will be DQed in the class they were running with no refund. If it is a point’s race they will receive 0 points for that class. When the word “truck” is used it means all drivers will be DQed from the class. Protests are not valid after the truck has made its first pass in that class. In order to perform a protest, you must be a driver competing in the class of the truck you are protesting against.
