Dirt Track Racing

About 700 tracks, spread over the length and breadth of America, are being used for Dirt Track Racing which is one   of the most favorite types of car racing and which attracts more competitors than any other motor sport. 

A large number of dirt track racing facilities are situated in the Northland area, especially the Proctor Speedway at the St. Louis County Fairgrounds in Proctor where all types of WISSOTA stock cars and the grass roots Enduro Racing are extremely popular.

All Formula USA National Dirt Track Series events are regulated by the following rules and regulations which have been made to create an orderly behavior while conducting the racing events. All participants are supposed to know these rules and comply with the same.  

Any competitor who signs the entry form and license application will be supposed to have agreed to the rules of this book and any published supplements. In case of any dispute which is not explicitly covered by these rules, the official responsible for operation of each racing event will give the judgment based on common sense and fair play. The decision of the Referee and/or Race Director will be considered to be final. 

Any person entering the pit area must adhere to the following general appearance requirements: 

       a.) Anybody entering the pit area must display appropriate credentials and only properly dressed people

           can enter the same.

       b.) A clean and professional appearance must be presented by all riders  and race crew.

               -  Whereas cut-offs, torn jeans, sleeveless shirts and open-toe shoes are not allowed to be worn in the pit   

                   area, those entering must wear shirts and shoes at all times.

               -  Obscene material or inappropriate aphorisms should not be exhibited on the clothes worn while one is inside the pit area. 

      A round front end as shown in plan view X-5, Plate 2 is used for mostly all-modern dirt track racing cars. 10 gauge S.A.E. 1025 steel should be used for the same. If, however, flat stock is to be used for the side members and frame, the layout shown at X-6, Plate 2 should be used. The frame should be formed by bending at the dotted lines. X-2 shows one of the finished side members and the sections X-1 and X-3 should be used for getting an idea of the shape into which the laid-out metal, as shown at X-6, is to be formed.

Dirt Car Racing gives sufficient room for competition and allows experimentation into realistic physics simulation, tuning/upgrading vehicles and progression. Different series from hobby stock to the most modern model class can be used for the same. There is intense competition as in a race of 16 cars all the cars use the same physics engine with more than 100 parameters for each car. The result is that all the other cars are racing right by your side and in this incredibly tight racing around short circuits there is a scramble for a position in a large number of cars. This is a unique situation and a sport that has not happened ever before.
