5TH ANNUAL CAPER MEMORIAL: 4CYL MINI MADNESS PRESENTED BY SAF-WAY AUTO PARTS

It’s time to throw out the rulebook for Caper Memorial Weekend. On Saturday, October 17th, we’re combining Hobby Stocks and Mini Stocks for an all-out, no-holds-barred 4CYL brawl: The 4CYL Mini Madness!

THE RULES:
- NO Engine Rules
- NO ECU / Computer Rules
- NO Tire Rules
- NO Weight Rules

SAFETY FIRST: The only thing we care about is safety equipment compliance.

Run whatever setup you've got—just make sure your safety gear, roll cage, and harnesses pass tech.

If it's four cylinders and safe, bring it to the track and let’s see who really has the fastest machine.
