Driver Classification

• Three divisions of races are conducted; the divisions or classifications are determined by the age of the Bandolero driver. Bandits is the term used to describe Bandolero drivers ages 8 to 11, Young Guns are Bandolero drivers 12 to 15, and Outlaws is the name given to drivers 16 years of age and older.
  
  

Safety Equipment

• The Safety Equipment section of the Briggs & Stratton Car Specification Rules for 2008 state the rules governing the safety garment a driver must wear in competition and the safety features installed into the cars. These rules specify use of racing type helmets without radio connection, fire retardant suits approved by INEX, as well as fireproof gloves, a safety harness anchoring the driver to their seat, INEX approved metal seating, racing shoes and fire extinguishers onboard the Bandolero.
  
  

Bandolero Car Body Specifications

• The Bandolero Specification Rules for the frame, body and suspension of the Bandolero car govern such things as the aerodynamics of the car, rear axle specification, stock size of the battery, caliper of the Bandolero cars brakes, types of brakes permitted and specifications on various dimensions of the front and rear bumpers, among many others car body specification and requirements. An example of one such specification is the prohibition of spoilers and air dams. INEX-approved technicians will inspect the cars for compliance with the Briggs and Stratton Rules and Regulation before the cars are allowed to compete in races.
  
  

Engine Specification Rules

• The rules listed in the Engine Specification Rules section of the Briggs and Stratton Bandolero rulebook state all specifications for size and features of the Bandolero car's engine. Specifications are stated on such things as air filters, carburetors, engine serial numbers and fuel used. An example of such specifications is the rule that only petroleum based gasoline may be used in the engine of a Bandolero race car.
  
  

Repairs During Races

• Specifications for repairing problems in the midst of a race, such as repair of a bumper, will also be listed in the Bandolero Specification Rules section of the Briggs and Stratton Bandolero Car Specification Rules book. Should a bumper in someway fall loose or begin to drag it must be repaired by being bolted on in order for the car to re-enter the race, other temporary fixes will not be permitted. From this example, it is obvious as to why a racing contestant and family should read the rule book prior to entering a race, in order to prevent themselves from being disqualified for whatever reason.
  
  

Car Numbers

• Rules stated in the Bandolero Specification Rules section also specify the size of car numbers and where they must be placed. Numbers 14-inches or larger must be placed on both car doors and on the roof of the car, the number must also be placed on the front of the car on the right side at least 3-inches tall or larger. Should two or more drivers show up with the same number, a race director will be given the task of assigning a number for the drivers.
