• +Manufacturers' Championship added

  The Reedy Race is excited to announce the creation of a Manufacturers' Championship for the 2016 Reedy International Touring Car Race of Champions!

  The rules are simple: the points from the highest two placing Invitational class drivers from each chassis manufacturer are combined to determine the Manufacturers' Champion. As long as a manufacturer has at least two points-scoring drivers in the Invitational class, they are eligible to compete for this prestigious award.

  Had this award been in place the previous two years, both times the Manufacturer's' champion would have differed from the manufacturer of the Invitational class drivers' champion. Needless to say, this award should add an extra dimension to the Invitational class this year and in years to come.

  Stay tuned to www.reedyrace.com and the Facebook event page for more information and event updates.

• +Body Tuck Clarification

  To improve the quality of the on-track action and reduce penalties for incidental contact, it is now each racer's individual responsibility to prevent their own body from tucking.

  Aftermarket products such as Protoform's Anti-Tuck Body Stiffeners (#1721-00) are widely available. Homemade solutions such as body posts mounted to the shock tower have existed for years. Use of such devices is not mandatory. If you choose not to use them you are doing so at your own risk.

  Please be aware that rough driving penalties will still be handed out. The fact that racers are utilizing anti-tuck devices doesn't mean open season on rear bumpers. If the collision warrants a penalty, the appropriate penalty will be given.

• +Spec Tire Announcement

  April 6, 2016 -- The Reedy Race is proud to announce that the Sweep EXP EVO-R 36 (EXP36RPP) has been chosen as the spec tire for the 2016 Reedy International Touring Car Race of Champions.

  Lead test driver Rick Hohwart shared his thoughts about EVO-R 36: "On the recently resurfaced and now fully cured Tamiya America racetrack, the EVO-R 36 is capable of record lap times with consistent performance from run to run and throughout the day. These qualities make the EVO-R 36 the natural choice for the Reedy Race."

  Remember, each paid entry includes one set of marked and numbered Sweep EXP EVO-R 36 tires. Drivers will be allowed to purchase an additional three sets of marked and numbered tires for use as they please for qualifying and triple main events. There is no limit to the number of tires a driver may purchase for practice, but tires used during controlled practice seeding rounds must be marked tires purchased at the event. Tires for non-scored controlled practice rounds or pre-race testing can be purchased at the event or at www.sweepracingusa.com.

  Stay tuned to www.reedyrace.com and the Facebook event page for more information and event updates.
