RULES AND POLICIES

 

 

All NHRA rules and regulations apply plus the following "Track" rules and policies

 

All participants must fill out a Tech Sheet and pass a tech inspection before making a pass down the track.     All subsequent changes to the vehicle, which affect areas of inspection, must be re-teched.    Failure to do so will result in disqualification until remedied.    The Track reserves the right to inspect any vehicle at any time

 

Only one team support person will be allowed beyond the blue line in the restricted area of the starting area, and for the sole purpose of aiding the staging process.

 

Time trials are by class.      Each participant must make their appropriate call for each time trial or forfeit it.     NO make ups will be extended once your class has ended.      No punch cards will be punched, but, quantity of time runs will be documented in the computer system.    Abuse of time runs will result in disqualification.

 

An approved Helmet must be worn by all competitors in all classes, with the exception of "Street Legal Fun Night" participants.

 

"AutoStart" will be in affect for all classes during time runs and eliminations.     Once staged in the AutoStart system, any movement out of the stage lights before the tree activates itself, will result in an automatic red light.     This does not include "flickering of the lights" which is protected by a time delay (though small)

 

The driver in the right lane has the right-of-way when turning onto the return road.

 

Burn-out across the starting line is permissible for cars with 2 wheeled brakes and vehicles with 4 wheeled brakes if running 5.99 or faster

 

10 MPH speed limit in the pits and on the return road.

 

No Excessive braking.   Failure to comply will be grounds for disqualification.

 

Dial-Ins must be visibly displayed on the front, rear, and Driver side windows before pulling onto the asphalt approach.    Once on the asphalt approach, no changes to the dial-in may be made without permission of the Event Director.

 

Courtesy staging will be enforced for all classes during time runs, as well as, elimination’s.    Both vehicles must be pre-staged before one stages.   If one competitor stages before the other competitor pre-stages, the competitor not yet pre-staged should wait for the starter to back the staged vehicle out of their stage beam.   If both vehicles in competition are pre-staged for an extended length of time, the Starter will give a visible "five" count.      If neither vehicle has staged at the end of the "five count", both vehicles will be red lighted.

 

Bye-Runs:  Determined by the best reaction time on the second time run for first round and by previous round's best reaction time after first round.     Recipients of bye-runs will have lane choice and retain it on a "Use it or Lose it" basis.     In other words, the "Bye-Run" stays with the participant until they either use it or lose in competition.

 

Lane choice will be by driver preference on entry of the staging lanes.      If the left lane is desired, enter the left lane and vice-versa.      Once all vehicles in one lane are depleted, lane choice for the remaining lane will be determined by faster car.

 

In the event of a "track" error, both competitors will be advanced to the next round of eliminations, unless advancement would alter the money round.      Due to different class structures and payouts, a “Money Round” is affected if the infraction occurs with 16 or less competitors in the round of infraction.     If a money round is affected, a Re-Run will be ran after an adequate cool down period.     Both competitors must use their dial-ins from the original run, unless both competitors agree to change.

 

Absolutely NO GLASS CONTAINERS allowed on premises.

 

Track Curfew is 11:30pm.      Please limit race car movement to loading of trailers after curfew.
