RACERS GUIDE TAKE TIME TO READ!!
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR KILL SWITCH IS!!!!!! KILL SWITCH PLEASE
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. Centerville uses Auto Start on all classes except Jr.s Timer will be activated when both racers are pre-staged but timer will not start until 3 bulbs are on ( Both pre stage lites and 1 stage lite) Settings may vary but burn down time is usually 10-15 sec. Burn down timer starts when 3 lites are on and times how long it takes the 2nd car to stage. If time exceeds the settings before 2nd car stages an automatic Red lite will result. The stage to start timer begins when both cars are staged and is the time between the 2nd stages and the tree countdown. The stage to start setting varies but is usually between 1.2 sec and 2 seconds.
BYE RUNS: Bye Runs are earned by the following: 1st Round bye goes to $1 Jackpot winners from time trials. After 1st Round byes go to Best package( winning run that is closest to a perfect run) Package is figured by the computer and must be a green lite above the dial in run. Bye run may have to race an opponent if an even ## of cars. Bye runs opponent in this case will be the last car left after the pairing process and bye holder will get lane choice. If bye holder races and wins he will carry bye to next rd. If by holder loses in a bye back rd. he can re –earn the bye in a later rd. Only 1 bye run per racer with the following exception: All racers left have already had 1 bye then Best package will award the 2nd bye. Example: 3 cars with all having had a bye then driver with Best Package from previous round will get bye to the final. No Traction compound Permitted. NO HOLDING OF CARS IN WATER BOX ALLOWED IN ANY EVENT! PLEASE DO NOT STAND BY STARTER OR ANYWHERE NEAR START LINE WE WILL DISQUALIFY YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR EVENT!!! IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO GET HELP WITHOUT YOUR ATTITUDES!! All 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. ALSO IF YOU CAN POSITION THOSE BOARDS WHERE TOWER CAN SEE FROM HEAD OF STAGING LANES HAVING A HARD TIME READING THOSE LIT BOARDS. 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. All contestants must TURN OFF AT THE END OF THE STRIP ( RIGHT LANE TURNS 1ST PLEASE DO NOT CUT ANYONE OFF) Please KEEP YOUR SPEED TO A MINIMUM ON THE RETURN ROAD. VIOLATION WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION. ALL VEHICLES :THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE OF PEOPLE LOSING OR WINNING DOING BURNOUT OR DRY HOP AT THE E.T. SHACK OR ANY PLACE OTHER THAN THE BURNOUT BOX.
