We will make our best effort to give every racer two time trials on Friday

Saturday morning for the Race of Champions participants, and then fill in
between ROC rounds with the remainder of competitors.
Pairings and Lane Assignments
·
All classes will be called to the lanes in sessions. Each
team will be assigned specific lanes and sessions throughout the event.
From those assignments, a random draw will be made to pair the lanes for
each elimination round.
·
The driver in each class with the best reaction time during
the first time run on Saturday will earn the potential bye for first round
on Sunday. During subsequent rounds, the best winning reaction time will
have earned the potential bye for the following round. For the Race of
Champions, the first round bye will be based on a random draw, with the best
reaction time earning the bye in following rounds.
·
Lane choice will be done by a coin toss at the head of the
lanes.
Team Captains
Each team is allowed up to four (4) team captains. Team captains will
handle any and all problems or discrepancies that one of their competitors
may encounter. Only one team captain will be allowed in the tower at any
one time. Any disputes must be brought to the event director by a team
captain. Division Director will rule on an issues and have final say on
such.
Summit Series Decals
Each competitor will be required to run the series decal for the
duration of eliminations. Those not having the decal will not earn points
for team or be eligible for any prizes or awards.
Contingency Decals
The NHRA Trailer will have a very limited supply of these. All racers
are encouraged to have and/or get decals from the manufacturer prior to the
event. Decals must be on vehicle for duration of eliminations. The
contingency verification will take place after the race, but will be checked
against photos from earlier rounds to see that decals were in place.
ET Finals Rules and Regulations
·
All classes, with the exception of Bike/Sled, will be run on
a five-tenth full tree with optional staging.
·
Deep staging will be allowed, but it may not be written on the
vehicle, nor will the starter make any changes to the starting procedure for
those deep staging. Those deep staging assume all risk and must get in
first as Autostart will be on for ALL categories.
·
Bike/Sled will run on a split tree. Racers wanting a Pro Tree
must put a P at the end of their dial (i.e. 9.00P)
