whats the deal with the $500 rule? do you need to bring proof of purchase and receipts and such or just run it by honesty
Ha ha they run it by "b.s." not honesty. Money spent on brakes and seatbelts etc doesn't count, and if they think you've gone over the limit, they'll issue penalty laps. The way they keep people honest is that the organizers have a claim rule: They can buy any car after the race for $500. So if you put juicy parts in it you better be prepared to lose them.
They also have a "black card" where, if enough teams vote that someone is being a jerk, they will crush your car. So you can see that people show up in the spirit of racing lemons, not in the spirit of cheating to win. I'm sure it goes on but in general everybody there was there to have a great time.
