**************FAIR CLASS*********************
These rules are based off DDDA RULES, found on www.wecrash.com. We at Darkhorse Racing believe these rules to be fair for all competitors, allowing a reasonable build up, but also allowing less experienced drivers to have a chance to compete and win. These rules apply to metric body cars (see detailed list of acceptable cars below) running at all Darkhorse Racing County Fair shows and in Lake Geneva Raceway Fair Class events. These rules DO NOT apply to Super Modified cars, Mini cars, Urban Assault Vehicles, or Super Urban Assault Vehicles.
************************************************************************
