DAILY DRIVER DIVISION RULES

The Daily Driver Class is a race venue that allows for cars to be driven to an event, prepped as necessary, raced, and then driven home. 
This race format allows for a wide range of cars to participate. All drivers must be licensed in the state in which they reside. 
It is important to minimize the potential for car damage from car-to-car contact for the Daily Driver Class and for racers to understand the “No Contact” rule and the enforcement and repercussions for failing to adhere to it
