NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF SPECIFICATIONS. Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the officials. Their decision is final.

Drag racing is a dangerous sport that can result in serious injury or death. Participation in all aspects of the sport is voluntary. The ultimate responsibility for the participant and vehicle lies with the participant, vehicle owner, driver, and crew members.

Buybacks

• If you lose during the 1st round, you can buy back into 2nd round. You will need to go to the Front Office to pay and receive a ticket. You will need that ticket in the Staging Lanes during Round 2.
• Buybacks are $25 unless otherwise noted.

Deep Staging

• Deep Staging is allowed with the courtesy word “DEEP” written on the vehicle window so that the competition and the starter can see it.
• It is the responsibility of the driver to get in deep without holding up the other competitors.
• Deep Stage car will have two bulbs on as a courtesy. Then after the other driver lights his top bulb the deep stage car may move forward to unlight his top bulb to complete the deep stage process. Once the deep stage car has its top bulb unlit and the other car has both bulbs lit, the staging process will be considered complete.
• If the driver rolls immediately into the deep stage, the announcer has no information on the screen for announcing. The starter will have discretion and final say.

Dial-In

Dial-in must be located on the passenger side of the windshield and passenger side window. This includes digital dial-in boards. At Least one digital dial-in board must be visible on the “passenger” side window.

• Digital dial-in boards must be turned on before leaving staging lanes and cannot be turned off until after you have staged. If you are caught changing your dial-in between the staging lanes and the burnout box, you will be disqualified.
• Your dial-in can be changed after each round.

• Do not burn out until you check the dial-in boxes and scoreboard for your correct dial-in.
• If you stage on an incorrect dial-in or Cross Talk, you accept the error, and the race will not be re-run. By staging, you indicate your dial-in is correct, and backing out after both vehicles are staged is not allowed.
• Dial-in boxes are located between the lanes by the starting line. They must be viewed to ensure your dial-in is correct before approaching the starting line. The scoreboards are to the right side of the track.
• The 1st car pulled from the staging lane will go to the left lane burnout box, they can NO longer change the dial-in on their vehicle.
• The dial-in can only be changed if the racer communicates with track staff after an incident or weather has occurred. They will communicate with the affected competitors that their dial-in may be changed.
• Dial-ins and lanes must be kept in the event of a rerun.
• Competitors may be subject to disqualification if dial-in changes are made without permission.

If written on, make them legible and large for the tower to read.

Car Number

Car Number must be located on the passenger side of the windshield and passenger side window.

If there are two drivers put both numbers on the car windshield and passenger side window. The dial-ins will go beside each car number.

If written on, make them legible and large for the tower to read.

Disqualification

• Disqualifications are made on a first or worse basis. Example: Crossing the centerline is considered worse than a red light. Since we cannot possibly cover all situations that may arise during eliminations, it is the Race Director’s/Track Manager’s responsibility to make a judgment on disputed calls. If it is necessary to settle a dispute, the race director will speak with the drivers only. NOT the crews, wives, and/or husbands.

Double Entry

Double entries in the same category are not allowed to include car and/or driver.

Double entry is allowed to include car and/or driver if you enter two different categories.

Double Entries are allowed to include car and/or driver in non-point race events if you enter two different categories.

If you are double-entered, it is your responsibility to be in the lanes when your class is called. You should be in the front of the 1st class so that you can make the call for the 2nd class. We will not wait for you to return or cool down.

Drinking/Any Impairment by Driver

Any driver observed by track officials to be consuming any amount of alcohol/drugs while still in competition will be disqualified from the event and BANNED PERMANENTLY.

Eliminations

• Go to your assigned lanes when called by the P.A. System.
• You will be ready to race when you come to the staging lanes.
• Only winners or buybacks return when called.
• We try to run eliminations in the same run order all day.
• First and Second Rounds are run with an UNO DECK.
• Laddered Rounds will be staged at the back of the staging lanes, you will park diagonally. Once you are paired you will proceed to the lanes you were in for the day

Elimination Round – Bye Criteria

• First round (maybe more depending on car count) elimination bye is determined by #draw.

• Bye on the ladder is determined by the computer which is based on who had the better race package. It is then finished as a Sportsman ladder.

Lane Choice

During Time Trials and Eliminations (before laddered rounds), no one is guaranteed lane choice. Time Trials are called in the same order and lanes as the run order for the day.

Odd-numbered lanes 1, 3, and 5 are left lanes, and Even-numbered lanes 2 and 4 will be right lanes for Time Trials.

During Eliminations- 1ST car pulled out goes to the LEFT Lane. If you have the Bye you may pick which lane.

Super Pro/Box Crosstalk

• If you DO NOT wish to use Crosstalk to your lane when you are the quicker vehicle, place an “N” behind your DIAL-IN to deactivate.
• No reruns, as the final responsibility is that of the racer to make sure that the stager knows you have an N for no crosstalk.

Rain Policy Competitors

Weekend Events:

• If rain or other occurrence halts racing ANY time before the completion of the first round of eliminations for your class, racers will receive 50% credit of the entry fee and there will be no payout. It will be 100% before ANY RUNS. (If we run time trials but no eliminations; it will be 50%). This race may or may not be rescheduled.
• If rainout occurs after the first round has been completed then the race will be considered complete. Payout will be based on the last completed round per class.
