  1. The Classes by WalksOnDirt · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are three classes:

    Challenger: This is the main race.

    Cruiser: Sort of road worthy cars, judged on practicality as well as the race placement.

    Adventure: Last year's Challenger Class, just to let people compete with prior cars.
