General Pit Area Rules
⦿ Please help to keep pit area’s clean from trash/debris/damage.
⦿ Power is supplied at each pit area, avoid running extension/extra cords across pit areas, or walkways
⦿ Do not rest soldering irons, cutting blades or other items that may damage table tops. If damage does occur please notify staff so that it can be fixed timely.

Dragstrip General Rules
⦿ Entries are due to the Counter 15 Minutes before start of any race. If Arriving late, you must text/call your entries in. NO Late entries once racing has begun.
⦿ Paring will be done via Pro-Pairings App, Random Draw Tickets or Ladders depending on specific race formats.
⦿ When Called “ON DECK” you must make your way to the starting line. A 70 Second Clock is implemented to prep and stage, this clock starts as soon as the previous pair crosses the finish.
⦿ Your DIAL IN must be presented to the tower staff before staging your car. The Dials as entered are displayed on the Screen to the left of the track, and will be read to you before the tree drops. Once the tree is dropped you accept your dial as entered.
⦿ Keep the Staging Area and Prep station Clear at all times unless helping another driver.
⦿ Cleaning Fluid will be provided at the prep station, do not spray anything on the track surface itself. Lighter Fluid/Any other cleaning agents must be cleared by the track operator before use.
⦿ During Regular Bracket programs the entire track may be cleaned as long as it is done in a timely manner.
⦿ “FIRST or WORST” Rule is implemented if there is a malfunction. A DE-SLOT Overrides a Redlight. A Redlight overrides a DNR, and in the case of a Double Redlight, the first driver to release looses.
⦿ Rollbacks – if your car rolls out of the beams once they are activated you are considered a redlight.
⦿ Double Entries are allowed except for specialty races where it is explicitly stated as not allowed. You may not change cars, bodies, or drivers once the entry has staged for 1st Round.
⦿ DAMAGE – All drivers assume risk of their personal property, and cars during normal race activity. However if a car is left unattended on racing surface, or is deemed malicious, the driver causing the damage will be asked to make it right with the driver that damage occurred to. If no handshake resolution can be made, the track operator will act as a mediator and can impose fines/penalties they deem fit.
