 | These Eliminators
are run very similar to conventional Competition Eliminators in other
popular drag racing venues. |
| Vehicles are assigned their
Formulated Index according to the specifics provided on the tech
sheets and qualify against these indexes. |
| Tech sheets must be fully
and accurately completed before proceeding to tech inspection. Racers unable
to provide full and accurate technical specifications required will only be
eligible to enter EconoDrag
Eliminator. |
| Racers must scale during
tech inspection as well as after each Qualifying Round and winning
elimination round. Racers are not required to scale qualifying attempts
which they do not wish to have officially considered such as in cases where
mechanical or conditional difficulties drastically impaired vehicle
performance. |
| Upon scale in during tech,
racers will be informed of their class, index, and minimum allowable weight
for that class at the classification time and will be afforded the
opportunity to adjust their weight in order to move up or down a class. |
| All American
DRAGCAR
classes and
categories are run on a 4 tenths full countdown tree. |
| Deep staging is permitted. |
| Courtesy staging is not
enforced. |
| Racers must adhere to class
lane assignments and class qualifying schedules. Racers will not be
permitted to randomly qualify outside of their class qualifying sessions. In
instances where a racer has missed all of their qualifying sessions, they
will be afforded one qualifying run after all scheduled class qualifying
sessions have been completed. |
| Qualifying order is
established according to the quickest in relation to respective indexes.
Qualifying ties will be awarded to the first which had been run. |
| Racers will be laddered
according to the DragStar/DragCar
Eliminator
laddering system. |
| Eliminations are run with
handicapped starts based off of the Formulated Indexes with the first
to cross the finish line being the winner regardless of ET. Except in
special circumstances, racers will not be in jeopardy of being re-indexed by
running any amount under their DragStar/DragCar
Eliminator
Formulated Indexes. |
| Bye runs and competition
singles will only require that the racer be present with their vehicle in
the staging lanes during the running of their Eliminator.
Vehicles must be in race
ready condition with no work being performed on it during this time. Racers
do have the option of running out their bye run. |
| Re-run requests which are
not at the order of the tower or American
DRAGCAR
will only be
granted if both competitors involved agree and both are present to make the
request to the race director. |
