It is our belief and focus that all thevehicles competing directly resemble as closely as reasonably possible the gasclass vehicles of the mid 60's - the so called "Gasser Wars" relived. Anythingthat makes a vehicle look or act like a current generation "bracket car" is causefor immediate disqualification from participation. All decisions made by thetechnical staff relating to appearance and safety are final. Our focus is safety,entertainment, putting on a good show and having fun.
