RACERS GUIDE
****Pick up your Driver Information Card at Front Gate.
****Fill out your driver info. card completely and take to Tower.
****Find yourself a pit space and listen for your class to be called. This could be a good time to relax, or maybe take
a look around, go to the concession stand or just visit with some of the really nice people that race at Hot Rod City Raceway!!
****When you class is called, go to the Staging lanes and line up for your time trial. The time trials are run in sessions
and each racer gets 1 pass per session only. Please be sure and bring your punch time trial card to staging area!! Do not
get back in line until you class is called for the next session.
****Track official will motion you onto the track. Cars with slicks can back into the water boxes for a burnout. Cars
with treaded tires usually don't back into the water boxes. (It can actually make traction worse.)
**After you have heated your tires roll slowly towards the starting line until Pre-stage light (very top bulb on tree
in you lane) is on. Inch your vehicle slowly forward until you stage light comes on. When both racers are staged the tree
will count down to the Green. Most racers leave on the 2nd or 3rd Amber light, depending on the reaction of you and your vehicle.
.500 Reaction time is perfect.
****You are Drag Racing!! Stay in the center of your lane unless you have problems with your vehicle, then move to the
outside edge of the race track and stop. If no problems exist always clear racing surface before you stop!!
****When you pass the finish line slow your vehicle and turn right at the end of track. Stop at the E.T. Shack for your
Time Slip. Drive slowly back to your Pit area and wait for your class to be called for the next round of time trials.
****During Eliminations all vehicles must display a Dial-N on the right side of the windshield and the passenger door
window. Dial-N must be neat and easily Read. Please use Dial N polish that The Track Recommends!! Refrain from using Blue
or Red because it is hard to see!!
****First or 2nd round buy backs in each class has been voted on Losers can re-enter ( 1 time) 1st or 2nd round by going
to the tower immediately.
****IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK A TRACK OFFICIAL AND HE OR SHE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GREAT
TIME AT HOT ROD CITY RACEWAY!!!
GENERAL RACE REGULATIONS
On any run of a handicap eliminator if both cars break out, the car breaking out the least will be declared the winner.
If both cars break out the same amount, the "First to Finish" shall declare the winner.
In Rare cases a Double Break Out can be so close that the print out will show both drivers breaking out the same amount.
When this happens the ACCUTIME system will compute the numbers much farther than the printed sheet can display, and will award
the win to the proper lane.
Bye Runs must run in all categories.
No Traction compound Permitted. NO HOLDING OF CARS IN WATER BOX ALLOWED.
Machines will be called to the staging area by the announcer. Only one call is required. A Reasonable amount of time
after the first call, any machine not appearing in the Staging Area will be subject to disqualification. Any car left unattended
in the staging lanes may be disqualified.
Once a car reaches the front of the staging lanes for a run, it must be prepared to fire and race.
No Dial-N may be changed after car has left the head of Staging.
No changing of Vehicle or Driver once in Eliminations.
Failure to stage when so instructed by the starter or over staging, or leaving the starting line before the start system
is activated will result in no "E.T." allowed for that run, or disqualification.
Any machine touching any marker line during the measured race will be disqualified.
In determining lane boundary crossing violations, it is considered a disqualification when any portion of a tire touches
the painted line surface. Contact with the guard railing, barriers, or any other track fixture (i.e. "Christmas tree,"
"Timing equipment, cones, ect) is ground for disqualification.
In situations where a driver is making a single run in eliminations he is considered the automatic winner once he stages
under power and receives the start. Lane Boundary line crossing and Red light disqualification rules do not apply on single
runs.
