THE PRIZES

The Main Event: The winner of the Championship Round will be awarded the Grand Prize package,
Additionally, you may have a chance to win a Pink Slip Racer (PSR) in each of the Elimination Rounds. There will only be a total of 50 PSR’s produced for this years Lightning Fest so this is a very limited collectible. A minimum of Two PSR’s will be awarded in each of the Elimination Rounds. Each elimination round will comprise of 15 entrants and one PSR.
Prior to each Elimination Round, a drawing will be held to determine the race position of the PSR. Two lucky racers in each of the Elimination Rounds will have a chance to race the PSR. If one of the racers beats the PSR, they win the PSR. If the PSR wins, it advances to the next heat and another two entrants get a chance to race it. And, not only does the finalist of each Elimination Round advance to the Championship Round, they also will be awarded a PSR unless they were lucky enough to win one in an earlier elimination round in which case a substitute prize may be awarded.

Prizes are yet to be determined.

The Rules:

Specialty classes such as Vans/Trucks/SUVs and Vintage diecast will be held between Main Event Elimination rounds as time permits.

All Participants must register and turn their car over to event organizers.
Each car will have a sticker placed on them with their registration number and will stay in the custody of the event organizers.
There will be a total of 240 racers (16 rounds X 15 racers = 240)
Note: the 16th car in each Elimination Round will be a PSR.
Each Participant will be allowed to register ONE primary racer and up to 3 additional racers. However, depending of the total of Participants, some or all of the additional cars may not be allowed to race. It is the intention to allow as many different people to participate as possible. Accordingly, the maximum number of participants will be limited to 240. Those members who have children with a “Genuine” interest in participating are enthusiastically welcomed. However, I don’t want to encourage people to register vehicles in different family members names just to have more cars registered in the event.

All registered racers for the main even must be Stock Diecast Cars, No Vans, Trucks or SUVs allowed. Vans, Trucks and SUVs will have there own class of races. Same rules apply, they must be stock. No modifications allowed. No Graphite or Machine Oil’s allowed. No kit cars allowed. I will be looking at each car.

If you cannot be present at the final round and you have a car entered, you must provide the Auto Fest staff with an address where we can send it to in the event you win, if you are not present or left information, the prize will go to the runner up.
No person will be allowed to register a car for another individual (Including other family members). All race positions will be awarded on a first come first serve basis so be sure to get there early!!!!
