The rulebook also includes a full listing of rules and policies for Pro Modified, which will become an official class in the ADRL in 2012.

There have been changes, additions and modifications made in each of the eight ADRL classes, helping ensure an even greater racing experience for fans, teams and competitors during the 2012 ADRL season.

A mid-November release of the 2012 ADRL rulebook will also allow teams and competitors to make the necessary changes before the start of the racing season.
