The Idea or Spirit of the class is to have the modified trucks and low entry truck class that don’t fit anywhere else have a home to race with likeminded individuals with the passions to bang doors but not the budget to do it in a TT. The rules are broad enough to allow tube chassis trucks with steel cabs, previously

Full Fiberglass 1400 trucks but does not encourage the building of sandbag style trucks. We would like to see people race within their budget.


No mixing of rules across classes. Please follow the rules of your prospective class. **Once you enter and race in the desert challenger Class you cannot enter in a lower class for the remainder of the calendar season.

1450 Pro

**Allow previously allowed fiber glassed trucks. (No new ones)
