454ss North American Truck Club
Sport Truck Shootout
August 01, 2009
London KY Dragway

As of right now, it is set to be ran in the morning. Will post up more info as I get it. Anyone is welcome to run, as long as its a truck. We'd REALLY like to have a better turnout than last year. *Hopefully* the weather will be a little cooler this year. The NATC is the Chevy version of HTC. They're pretty cool and are highly welcoming, so don't be scared its going to be a pissing contest. If anyone wants to help with it, get ahold of me and I'll put you in contact with Tina.

THE TREE IS SET TO X-OVER IN SUPER PRO (TOP 2 BULBS COME DOWN AT ONCE & THE STAGGER STARTS AT THE 2 BULB)

AUTO START IS USED IN ALL CLASSES

12 SECOND COUNT OUT RULE ONCE 3 BULBS ARE ON

* * The Tree will be staggered in Pro Class to eliminate use of delay box.
* * Anyone caught using a delay box in Pro will be subject to permanent banishment.


STAGING LANES:

* * Odd numbered staging lanes (1-3-5-7) will run in the Right Lane.
* * Even numbered staging lanes (2-4-6-8) will run in the Left Lane.
* * We will either start with lane 1 running lane 2 or we may run 2 pair lane 1 running lane 4 and then go back to lane 1 running 2 till both lanes are empty. This may or may not be done every weekend. Only at random.


We will run paired lanes together. In the event there is cars left in lane 1 and lane 2 is empty, we will run 1 against 4 till lanes are cleared. In the event cars left are not paired up with corresponding lane, they will be run back to back with fast car getting lane choice. If both cars are dialed the same we will determine lane choice by drawing of high card (ace being the highest) Staging lanes will be closed when announced so if you come late you forfeit that round. In the event we pull a bye run car out of the lanes. The bye run car will get the lane choice instead of the faster car.

BYE RUNS:

Bye Runs will be awarded to the car with the best reaction time from the round before. If you win the bye that round you will be pulled to the side to see if there is an odd number of cars. Any car that won bye run that is pulled to the side will get their lane choice even if they have to run a faster car. Bye runs will not be transferred to next round if bye run were not used that round. If you refuse the bye run then you will not be eligible for another bye.

BURNOUT:

Only cars with 2 wheel brakes are allowed to burn across the starting line (with the exception of Quick 8 races which will be announced). No touching or moving the car in the burnout by a crew member.

OTHER TRACK RULES:

We do allow a car to double enter in the same class as long as there is 2 different drivers. No changing dial ins after leaving staging lanes. Once staged, the racer has accepted all track conditions ( dial-ins, the opponent, lane choice, etc) No substitution of car or driver once eliminations have began. Once a decision has been made by track management, IT IS FINAL! Don’t ask for a change. Do not argue. Verbal abuse by any racer, spectator, or track official will be grounds for expulsion and possibly permanent banishment at the discretion of track management. We will be other rules using NHRA rulebook.

SPEED LIMIT:

The speed limit in the pits is 5 MPH by all racecars, pit vehicles, golf carts, etc. We will not tolerate excessive driving speeds in the pit area. This type of behavior only puts innocent people in danger of possible accidents.

You must be 16 years of age to drive pit vehicles including bicycles. If caught driving under the age of 16 your 4 wheeler, etc. you will take the chance of getting your pit vehicle confiscated until the end of the race.

Have fun and good luck!
