STRUCTURE

40-50mph start speed, Cars will qualify into one of three classes. The top fastest mph cars will be in the king of the open road bracket, the next will fall into the Street bracket, and lastly the stock bracket. These classes will keep similar powered cars together to ensure racing is fair and competitive.

HOW THE RACING WORKS

Cars will be paired in the pre-staging lanes by the track staff behind the tower. When signaled, the cars will take off towards the drag strip. The two cars will pace one another at a start speed between 40-50MPH. Once the two cars reach the designated start line the race is on.

The car with the higher qualifying speed gets lane choice, and the car in the left lane sets pace for all starts. The right lane must keep its front bumper even with the left. Competitors will have a maximum of three attempts at a clean start. If clean start cannot be achieved in three attempts track officials reserve the right to DQ both racers. It’s possible both drivers could be DQ’d for foul play/false starts. Don’t play games.

The finish line is marked at the 1/4 mile time boards on each side of the track. The first to the finish line will get the win light and move on to the next round.

There will be a breakout speed set for each class to be determined after qualifying. This is to help deter sandbagging. Also, keep in mind that the drivers meeting for the roll race event is MANDATORY before qualifying begins. If you miss the drivers meeting your spot can be forfeited at the discretion of track/event officials
