Our experienced staff is all racers themselves and is committed to keeping you on track and delivering safe events at amazing tracks, awesome formats, great seat time value, easy car prep, understandable rules…and offering a bull-free experience. As racers we understand the competitive nature of this sport but keeping you and your car safe is paramount to us. We’re a non- claiming series that absolutely, positively, no-way, no-how allows or tolerates contact. And by offering a multi-class qualifying race configuration, we ensure that you’re running with a like pack so that every team has a fair chance to be the top dog! Lucky Dog encourages and welcomes ingenuity and creative engineering. And in an effort to make the racecar valuation process easy to understand and implement…we threw it out the window! You’ll see in the rule set below, we give you quite a bit of leeway (we know most of you are already over-embellishing your cars…why not embrace it!). And just because you did a clever engine swap, installed a 24-gallon fuel cell or architected fancy front-end aerodynamic decorations, that doesn’t always translate to leading the pack. So, we’re giving you the opportunity to prove your stuff prior to each race with a 40-minute qualifying session to determine which Class you are to compete in. It’s our mission to provide a level playing field, shaking out the greyhounds from the Chihuahuas and the basset hounds from the bulldogs. About Racing…So you want to be a racer huh? While Lucky Dog Racing League (LDRL) is a no-contact series... racing inevitably can be dangerous… period…just don’t tell your mother. Cars can get damaged whether it’s catastrophic failure (you left the radiator cap off or you threw a rod) or there was an unfortunate self-imposed accident or contact incident. Yes, you or someone else could be hurt, or worse. Racing is taxing on your body, brain and bank account. You’ll be exposed to heat, cold, fumes, noises, vibration, jolting, exhaustion, ego, humility, stress, embarrassment, despair, euphoria, and the agony of defeat. It’s strongly recommended that you endure a complete physical exam to receive clearance from your physician prior to competing in the strenuous way of life in motorsports. Registration and/or arrival at the track implies you understand the risk associated with this life-changing sport and that you agree to observe and adhere to the rules contained within, the requirements and restrictions, and acknowledge that you and your team/ crew/guests/fan club are participating at their own risk and shall not hold Lucky Dog Enterprises LLC, its owners, staff, sponsors, partners, vendors, associations and assignees responsible. © Version 2020.06.05 2020 LUCKY DOG RULES www.RaceLucky.com Questions?
