The Charger division is a perfect budget-friendly division for those wanting that V-8 horsepower but not able to spend 100’s of thousands of dollars on a Late Model Stock Car. These cars are older Late Models with older style engines with a racer’s budget in mind. Some of the best racing can be found in this division with a mix of young and old drivers.

Tech Procedures:
- The inspector may opt to check any item and will likely pick at least two items per race to inspect.
- Open tech for the top 3 finishers. Any top 3 finisher can ask the inspector to check a specific item. One item per week may be selected by a competitor to be check on all the top three finishers cars. Item must be available for visual inspection to be selected by a competitor.
- The race track may inspect any part at any time during an event prior to or after the race.
Cheating/Disqualifications:
- First offense of cheating will result in a disqualification and loss of purse and points for the event.
- The second offense of cheating will result in a disqualification and loss of purse and points from the event and a subsequent suspension from the next division event.
- The third offense of cheating will result in a disqualification and loss of purse and points from the event as well as a 60-day ban from competing in this class.
- The fourth offense of cheating will result in a disqualification and loss of purse and points for the event as well as a one-year ban from competing in this class.
Cheating bans are only for the division caught cheating in. A driver may move to another division once banned from competing in one division. A suspension for cheating doesn’t prevent you from attending the race or competing in another division.
Protests:
- A protest must be submitted in writing, specifically outlining what parts are being protested and must be accompanied by cash for the protest amount. This must be done within 10 minutes of the checkered flag.
- Protest must be submitted to the lead technical inspector for the night for your division.
- Car being protested will be asked to accept or deny the protest at the time in which the inspector accepts the protest.
- If the car being protested has been penalized for the part in question already during pre-race inspection, the protest will be disregarded. That penalty has to be written and taped on to the car prior to the race by the tech man on the right of the windshield.
- Protests will not be accepted on championship night as to not allow a competitor the chance to alter the outcome of a championship on the final night of points racing.
Protest Price:
- Protest of the entire car is $900. $200 of the protest goes to the track, $700 to the winner of the protest.
- Protest of the bottom end of the engine is $500. $100 to the track, $400 to the winner of the protest.
- Protest of the engine heads, intake, spacer, bore and stroke is $300. $100 to the track and $200 to the winner of the protest.
