The RMDS Q8 is an exciting program that is designed to identify the fastest 8 door cars at each race and qualify them in a competition that keeps everyone in the stands on the edge of their seats! 

Eligibility rules are simple in that you must enter a door car as identified below.  EVERYONE who meets these rules is encouraged to participate!  Cut-off Qualifying ET's vary from race to race and has been as low as 5.70's to 6.70's and up, with the fastest cars typically running in the 5.0's to 5.10's. 

Nitrous!!, Turbo's!! and Superchargers!! often provide the excitement in this class of racing!
