Race Results - Watermelon
Capital Speedway - Cordele, GA.
Claimers is a novelty class intended for entry-level racers. The idea is to have
an inexpensive and affordable racecar for those that have no racing experience,
or at the most, limited racing experience. In addition, the class has a claim
rule of $2000 which means any car in the class can be claimed after the car has
made 3 starts.
To sum up the technical rules of it and the way I describe the class on
Saturdays is you basically you an older model car, gut it out, put in a 4-point
roll cage and go racing. A 3" wide, 5-point seat belt harness is required along
with a racing seat and a window net is also required. Approved drivers suit and
helmet as specified in the general rules is required and head restraints, head
socks and gloves are highly recommended. A fire extinguisher is also required to
be mounted on the dash where it can be of easy access by the driver. Other than
that, the cars must be strictly stock with very little modifications.
Official rules can be found on our website by visiting
