4WP Nitto Tire Nationals event information Oct 23 and 24

It’s time to battle it out for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

What an insane year. If there is anything Ultra4 racers are known for, however, it’s the ability to adapt, overcome, and finish… in every circumstance. #NeverQuit is more than just a hashtag, it’s how we race.
One of the adaptations for this year has been a change of venue for our final Nationals event of the year. We are thrilled to be back in Davis, Oklahoma (with no tornados this time) at the Cross Bar Ranch! Fantastic venue and JT Taylor has prepared a killer racecourse in a fitting end to the season.
Please read below for more information and details regarding the 2020 4WP Nitto Tire Nationals!

Registration

Online driver registration is STILL OPEN and will be available online through midnight PT on Tuesday, Oct 21st. Onsite registration will also be available, but there is an additional $100 surcharge for onsite registration.
Registration is a different online link this year and it’s not too late to register. Click HERE.
Another unique factor to Nationals 2020 is the that ANYONE can race in this event, even if it’s your first race of the year. The “First Round On Us” promotion does apply for Nationals.
The caveat: If Nationals IS your first race of 2020, it will NOT count towards KOH 2021 eligibility. If you aren’t already qualified, you will have to go through the LCQ process to race the 4400 class.

Awards & Banquet

Both race and season awards will be presented at Cross Bar Ranch, beginning at 7 PM on Saturday night, Oct 24th. We will award the race event trophies, then do a quick set change and present the National Points Awards, also on site.
In lieu of a sit down banquet this year, we’re going to have a huge party with BBQ and friends and family. Less formal than in years past, but no less honoring of the season achievements. Awards will be broadcast via livestream as usual.
Driver’s and Co-Drivers will receive a wristband for the BBQ dinner as a part of their race entry, courtesy of Nitto Tire. Additional wristbands for crew and family will be available onsite for purchase.
EVERYONE is invited to celebrate the season and your accomplishments. The wristband are only for the BBQ portion. Please plan to join us Saturday night in celebrating victories, accomplishments, and the end of 2020!

Camping | Lodging | Tickets | Covid Guidelines

Each race team will have a standard pit area allocated (roughly 20 x 80 like normal regional races). In that pit area you have room for your race car, trailer, and an RV or two depending upon how heavy you travel. This is included in your entry fee. You can camp in your pit area if you choose.
You can reserve camping at Cross Bar Ranch if spaces are still available, or choose from the selection of hotels or casinos near Davis, Oklahoma. Another option is Turner Falls, near the park.
Click HERE to visit Cross Bar Ranch for camping information
Click HERE to visit Turner Falls. Turner Falls will also be hosting a concert and laser light show on Friday and Saturday night. While not directly affiliated with the Ultra4 schedule of events, it will be a great time for spectators and crew alike.
Spectator tickets are also available for purchase online. Spectator tickets can be purchased HERE. (If on a mobile device, you may need to scroll DOWN to see the Nationals ticket reservation instead of the General Admission park ticket purchase button.)
Driver and Co-Drivers will NOT need to purchase entry to the park. That is covered in your entry fee if you have pre-registered. Pit Crew member can either pre-order online HERE, or they can pay $20 at the gate and an additional $5 at the registration desk (as usual) for their Pit Crew Band and USAC insurance.
In an effort to reduce contact during registration, we do encourage you and your crew to purchase online as much as possible.
As with our other races in 2020, we would like to remind our racers, vendors and spectators, to put safety first, take responsibility for your own actions and treat others with respect. Please wash your hands often, cover your face and minimize direct, physical contact as much as possible throughout the event and most importantly stay/go home if you are sick.
Temperature checks and a COVID-19 waiver and health declarations will be administered at the front gate by the park as a component of their COVID-19 mitigation and safety plan.
Other COVID-19 precautions include the following event protocols:
Use hand sanitizer and wash hands oftenPlease stay home and enjoy the event online if you are considered at high riskLeave no trace and pack out your trashAvoid touching the face
Safety is always first, in the car and out of the car. We will be doing our part as an Ultra4 team, including temp checks. Please plan to do yours.

Important Crandon and AOP Announcements

Racing, as does life, prepares you for anything and everything.

In the spirit of communicating early with the most current information available, we have two announcements to make:

The first is that, unfortunately the Crandon Spring Race has been cancelled.

The second, is that we have been in contact with the track owners and have been assured that the 4WP Tear Down in Tennessee (July 24 – 25) is on!

Online registration has been closed for Crandon and drivers who registered in advance will be hearing from Dave personally. We are all very disappointed but wanted to share information as quickly as possible. As with any race, this is another obstacle to overcome and keep on racing.

Registration is now open for the 4WP Tear Down in Tennessee.

In an effort to reduce physical contact and adhere to state and local guidelines we will be encouraging online pre-registration for drivers and teams. Spectators will be able to purchase tickets online and attendance may be limited to allow for adequate social distancing. We will offer online tickets to drivers and teams first before opening it up to spectators.

The 4WP Tear Down in Tennessee WILL be broadcast live on the web and all classes will be covered. This will be an official Ultra4 points race that counts towards Nitto National Championship points. Remember, there is not a 4WP Eastern series or Lasernut Western series this year due to the schedule adjustments.

REGISTER HERE

We are committed to racing. We are committed to making the best, safest, and most competitive events for you.

We are Ultra4 Racing.
YOU are Ultra4 Racing.
See you in Tennessee.

Are you ready for some Labor Day Weekend fun at the Big House? It’s going to be Epic!

Announcing entry for the Ultra4 Battle at the Big House / Labor Day 50^th at Crandon International Raceway in Crandon, Wisconsin! The race is August 31^st and September 1^st. You don’t want to miss this.

It’s short notice, but the details were just finalized and we’re sharing with you now so you can make plans, ask questions, and get registered. In fact, you are being notified before it’s even officially announced!

Ultra4 will be the big finale Saturday night (not Friday night) on the Ultra Cross Course.

Two complete practices sessions will be available on Thursday, August 29th. (The Ultra Cross course and the short course, one session on each.)

There is a $5,000 purse for Saturday night and a $15,000 purse for Sunday. World Cup metals will be awarded on Sunday and race trophies for Saturday’s event. This is not a points event, but instead a stand-alone event for all Ultra4 racers to show their stuff.

There is a special new grass pit area (right next the fence). Cost is $50.00 per weekend for 20′ x 60′. $100 for 20′ x 120′ . You can reserve your spot by contacting the track directly HERE.

There will be a live broadcast on Crandon Live! for both Saturday and Sunday’s UTLRA4 race.

You don’t want to miss this opportunity. It’s great chance for great racing, great fun, and great exposure to show the world what Ultra4 cars can do. There will be more information to come, but this is a fantastic and fun way to bring the family out and lay it all on the line at the Big House for Labor Day weekend.

Rule Changes Regarding Qualifying for KOH: Effective Immediately.

This email is being sent out to all ULTRA4 drivers and teams. The following rule changes regarding qualifying are effective immediately.

A. The intent of this rule is to recognize and reward competence and loyalty with regards to transitioning from UTV or an EMC Class to the 4400 Class. If you have finished top 10 in National Points in your class you are eligible for a guaranteed entry to the following years King of the Hammers. Cannot be combined with part B of this rule.

B. Effective immediately and retroactive to 2018, a qualified driver may have a one time deferment of their qualified status for King of the Hammers. If you have qualified but not used that qualified spot in the past, you may use that qualified spot at a KOH of your choosing. This is a one time opportunity per driver of record. For example if you qualified in 2013 and didn’t race 2014 KOH, you may use that spot in a future race.

C. If you sell your car, you may transfer your qualified spot to the new owner of the car. This forfeits your spot and can not be combined with parts A or B of this rule (Class performance/deferment of qualification). The intent of this rule is to help drivers maintain value in their vehicles while supporting consistency in the series. This is a one time opportunity for the driver of record. You may not use this opportunity and the deferment rule in the same year.

Also as a reminder, if you plan to race during KOH Week 2019, and you have not yet registered. You must register by December 15th to have your information included in the driver handout given to spectators.

See you on the lake bed.
