RULES FOR RACERS AND PIT CREW
Revised 2007 
 
1. Drivers and pit crew must follow all rules and regulations, or they can be asked to leave and will not be welcome back. We want everyone to have a safe and fun time at our facility.

2. All Racers must pay their racing fee at the Tech Shack, you will receive a tech card with a number (#) for your vehicle. Fill in the top part of the card, neatly and clearly. This info gets put into the computer, and allows you to make a recorded run. If your tech card is illegible, it will not be entered, and if you make a run you will have no time slip.

3. Drivers MUST pick a CLASS to get entered into the computer!

If your vehicle runs a different time than expected, YES, you can change class at the Tech Shack. This only can be done during Qualifying. The responsibility is on you the driver to monitor your time slips, once Eliminations start, you cannot change your class, and will forfeit the event.

4. The crucial areas at the track are STAGING LANES, BURN OUT BOX and STARTING LINE. By following the directions of the staff, the day will run smoothly for everyone. All the staff that you see working are Volunteers, they are here to have fun too.

5. All Drivers and Pit Crew (non members) pay their entry fee and sign the waiver sheet at the gate. Racing Fees are paid at the Tech Shack.

6. Only one other vehicle per race entry is allowed in the pit area. Any other vehicles Must Park in the Spectator Parking Lots. If you fail to follow these rules you run the risk of being towed away to the Spectator lots at your own expense.

7. All classes will run with a 5/10ths Full Tree, EXCEPT Bike, Doorslammer & Top Comp will have a 4/10ths Pro Tree.

8. Passengers are allowed, but the pass cannot be faster than 10.00 seconds. This rule is in effect for new drivers that wish to have an experienced racer seated beside them. This only applies to Time Onlys.

9. Courtesy staging is the rule. If you activate the first set of small lights,(prestage), wait for your competitor to do the same, then activate the second set of small lights, (stage) by slowly advancing your vehicle forward.

10. At the end of your run the Left Lane (Tower) has the right of way in the shut down area. Make sure your vehicle has slowed to a much reduced mph, before making your turn onto the return road.

CAUTION: There may be race and tow vehicles still sitting on the first corner. TAKE IT SLOWLY!

11. The first corner off the return road, IS NOT FOR SOCIALIZING. Have your race vehicle and crew moved out of the area, as soon as it is safe to do so.

12. Staging Lanes - are OFF LIMITS to anyone other than Drivers and Pit Crew. You can help us police this area by instructing friends and relatives to watch from the Grandstand area, or if you see people in the lanes that do not have the appropriate wristbands on, please let them know they are in a restricted area

13. Do Not leave your vehicle unattended in the staging lanes, or locked up, or running without a capable adult in the driver seat.

14. Burnout Box: Racers must have all their windows rolled up, doors secured and be race ready before entering the burnout box.

15. What to do after completing your run. Qualifying and eliminations are both run by class. When the announcer calls your class to the staging lanes, advance to the designated lanes, wait until the staging director motions you into the water box. After a run, return to your pit area, park, come to the Tech Shack for your time slip.

Eliminations: Sunday be aware of the classes as they are running. If you are a participant and see other cars from your class in the lanes, you have missed your call. if you get your vehicle into staging before last call, great, if not, your competitor will have a single run and you will be out of competition. You will however be able to run T/O's when they are called. The responsibility lies with the driver to be aware of how the classes are running, this is another good reason to never be away from your car. Also, be patient, equipment can malfunction and we do get backed up in the Tech Shack. It helps to have a crew member wait for your time slip so you can be with your vehicle.
