_________________________________________________________________
Rules:
All classes are 1/8 mile.
All classes will be water burnout only no prep.
Cross the center you lose. If you jump you lose. In the event both vehicles cross and jump first is worse.
If you aren’t bumping, you will be put on the starting line. You will not move until the flashlight comes on. If you’re bumping, please ensure you’re back far enough from the starting line to bump up to the line. You will only get one bump. The flagger will give you equal time to bump in unless you come in second you will have 5-7 seconds to bump. Please get with your competitor if you want to go in first or second you 2 will make that choice. Once that choice is made, please have your crew let the flagger know. Flagger makes ALL final calls. Respect his decision. If any sort of malfunction happens the pair will be re-run at the end of the round.
A jump cam will be positioned behind the line watching the left lane right tire and the right lane left tire. Any crack of the tire before the flashlight comes on is a loss. If a member of your crew is blocking the view of the tire crack cam at any point during the night during your race and it’s called a jump you lose automatically no exceptions. To review it will cost you $100. If you’re right and the call is overturned, you get your money back. If you’re wrong the money will go into the other racer pocket that was contested.
A finish line cam will be at the end. To review it will cost you $100. If you’re right and the call is overturned, you get your money back. If you’re wrong the money will go into the other racer pocket that was contested. In the event something is too close to call we will re-run the pair in question at the end of that round of all classes.
RACE IS OFFICIAL AT THE CONCLUSION OF FIRST ROUND.
Engine diaper and catch pan are a huge bonus and highly encouraged but not required to help keep up with clean up so we don't have a big down time for if there is a accident down track when making a pass.
