USC Sports Compact Shootout
Entry Fees £200
Entries limited to 20 cars qualifying for a 16 car ladder
The USC Sports Compact Shootout is a new, experimental class giving those with “Compact” engine combinations an opportunity to race heads up at a limited number of events.
Aimed largely at vehicles from the JDS and FWD series, there’s no large prize fund on offer so the emphasis is largely on track time, and close, fun racing.
The class welcomes FWD, RWD and 4WD cars with 4, 5 or 6 cylinder engines and rotaries.
Entries to The USC Shootout will receive 2 weekend admission tickets to the event. If you require any additional tickets, they will need to be purchased separately.
The organisers reserve the right to exclude any entry from the shootout if they deem necessary. This would only be in the case of a car or driver being deemed unsafe or in breach of their class rules. The organisers decision is final and no disputes will be entered in to.
All entries are on a first come, first served basis. Entries are limited to 20 cars.
All entries must be proven to have run quicker than 11 seconds to be eligible for the shootout. (entries will be opened up to slower cars nearer the events if the shootout is not sold out)
Gates open at 8am Friday for ALL competitors.
