OK fellas here are the rules we came up with for the June 13th, 14th, 15th race. Keep in mind we wanted to include every sport compact racer out there. That is a tall task to do without tons of rules and lots of tech.

So here ya go.


Alabama Race Rules
The race director will have the final decisions in all rules, interpretations of the rules, questions and/or protests. These issues will be left to the final discretion of the race officials and may be changed at any time if the situation dictates.

NO COURTESY STAGING RULES ARE IN EFFECT

The Following Devices are Illegal: (And Have to Be Completely Removed from Car)
*Electronic / Pneumatic / or any Remotely Activated Throttle Stops
* Delay Boxes
*Cross-Over Boxes
*Electric / Hydraulic Pneumatic Shifters (All Shifts Must Be Made by Driver)
*Any and All "Traction Control Devices"

All cars will adhere loosely to NHRA guidelines as far as all safety concerns, however the tech dept reserves the right to DQ any car for any major infractions ie: don’t show up with a 9.99 sec car with no roll bar/cage

First or second round buy backs will be allowed in the race, meaning you can buy back in, but only once. If you are eliminated in the first or second round you will be allowed to buy back in to the race. The buy back price is 50% of the original entry fee of which, a percentage of every buy back will go to a local charity to try and help those less fortunate than the rest of us

Bracket cars must accept their dial ins. The scoreboard will show your dial-in before you stage your car. If you stage your car, and the scoreboard is showing an incorrect time, it indicates that you have accepted that dial-in as yours. Once the car is staged no protests will be allowed regarding bad dial ins. It is your responsibility to ensure the scoreboard is showing the correct dial in for your car.

Heads up classes will be indexed, with a soft index. For example, in the 10 second class, if there are 100 cars, whose ET’s range from 10.00-10.99 the class average should be approx 10.50, which is where the index will be set. There will be a soft index setup, which will give a margin of error. Each pairing of cars will still try to cross the finish line first. However if car “A” crosses the line with a 10.45, and car “B” crosses the line with a 10.48 Car “A” will advance to the next round, providing car “A” crosses the finish line first. Sticking to the “heads up” idea, cars will try to run faster than their opponent in the next lane without running faster than the margin of error in the index.

ANY AND ALL DRIVERS MEETINGS ARE MANDATORY.
The reason for this is simple. If there are any rule amendments, or announcements to be made, all drivers and or car owners MUST be in attendance to remain informed

The classes are simple they will be broken into 7.00 class, 8.00, 9.00, 10.00 and so on. The class average will be determined after removing the outliers in the class. What that means is if we had 100 cars in the class we would remove the top 10 and the bottom 10 from the equation making a much better average based on what the bulk of the class is running.

Drivers will be allowed to run in more than one class.

Let me know what you think,
Dan

 

 

Wow lots of rule

Nice to see how simple rules can be

 

This event should turn out pretty well.

 

Thanks for the last comment in your post Dan.... lol

Hey, any chance you could apply for a job with NOPI/NHRA and get **** done?

 

is the event going to be 3 days now? Or is one day test and tune? i need to know so i can make hotel reservations!!!
And for the people that cant go Friday will they still be able to run Sat and Sun?

 

Thanks Dan,

Ryan will read them during his lunch break.

 

We have lots of good things to announce later, but I would plan to be there on Friday if you want to be a better racer and win some free stuff. We are talking to a few schools to come and teach things like tuning and understanding data and making adjustments we also have a suspension specialist coming to give a free a class on understanding your suspension and tuning it. Right now the chassis specialist has tuned the suspension on several top race cars out there. He has worked for Haas and Bickle. We have interaction from the pros with the other racers one on one and also test and tune for Friday. Friday is going to be a good day for all that want to be involved in a work shop for sport compact racers.

 

Nice!! as the event gets closer will the be a schedule of the days put out?

yes

 

Does a cage have to have an NHRA cert?
Does a driver have to have an NHRA license if he/she goes faster than 135mph or quicker than 9.99?

hahahaha in Alabama?

 

We are going to require the drivers skill and safety equipment be up to par but they don't have to be NHRA legal. That is where the word loosely was used in the rules.

 

Awesome job. I can't wait for this event.

 

Boost control is a form of traction control if you think about it. LOL

 

Good to see that not everybody is slacking on the rules haha

 

Good stuff. Thanks for the email.

 

i can prolly manage to be there friday, hope we can camp out!!!

i love the rules i can't wait for the event to come around. thanks dan for the email and for putting on an event for all the sport compact racers.

 

sounds fun, is it june yet??? im ready to race!!

 

I think you guys need to be more specific on traction control. There are different views on what is acceptable, and what is illegal.

everybody has to take their wastegates off and cap the port on the manifold with a block off plate.
