2008 UMP DIRTcar SPORTSMAN RULES
(SUPER STREET, PRO STOCK, LIMITED SPORTSMAN)

This division and the competition rules will still be under the “home track” rules for 2008.
Due to the wide variance of rules, the attached are only guideline base rules and may be adopted by a track as UMP DIRTcar Sportsman.

The way we will handle the sportsman’s for 2008 will be as follows:

1. If the track runs the UMP DIRTcar modified tire, membership will be required to earn points, and the track will participate in the divisional promotional fund per the sanction.

2. If the track runs a tire other than the UMP DIRTcar modified tire, then UMP DIRTcar will require that all drivers must be a UMP member to earn points and the track will not participate in the promotional fund.

FYI
During the 2008 season we will be observing, seeking input and testing with Crate motors, weights, tires and spoilers. Our plan is to refine the rules to where you can use either your current steel block motor or use a Crate motor. With that being said UMP DIRTcar racing has every intention of growing this class and trying to make it better for everyone.
