Run Groups are for the safety of all participants, and are not related to Class or Group designations. While in general Run Groups will mirror Group designations, because of the variety of vehicles entered in RunNGun, there will probably be instances for example that a Pro Group entry may run in GREEN Run Group on track, or a Prepared Group entry may run in the RED Run Group on track. Passing rules and passing zones for all RUN GROUPS will be set by track management.

Street - YELLOW Group – generally entry level and novice drivers.

Prepared - GREEN Group – generally intermediate level drivers.

Pro & Unlimited - RED Group – generally advanced level drivers.
