GROUNDS FOR DISQUALIFICATION DURING ELIMINATIONS

A driver may be disqualified for the following;

1) Failure to stage on the starter’s instruction.

2) Illegally crossing the starting line during a burnout.

3) Crossing the centerline during any elimination run.

4) If found to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.  (An incident of this magnitude may result in a full year track suspension.)  A driver is responsible for the actions of their pit crew; the above rules apply to all pit crew as well.

5) Excessive braking which causes an accident or contact with the wall or tires.

6) Disregarding instruction from any S.I.S.L.R.A. official or track crew.

7) Blatant disregard for obvious safe track driving protocol.

8) Lack of respect for the safety of others.

All race day questions or concerns should be taken to the Race Day Director.

Please remember that it is strictly enforced that there is absolutely
NO ALCOHOL or ILLEGAL DRUGS
permitted at the track on race days.
Racing don’ts…

• If you pick up your time slip and your reaction time has a  –  in front of it, you have possibly lost.  Why you ask?  Because it means that you left before the light actually turned green.  This is an easy way to say “red light”.

• Getting a ‘red light’ is not relevant during qualifying; in fact some drivers do it just to see how close they can cut the lights.

• The object of winning the race is to have a perfect reaction time to the light as well as crossing the finish line exactly on your dial in.  Go faster than your dial in you’ll break out, too slow and chances are you will be so far away from your “dial in” that your opponent will cross the finish line first.

• Break-Outs; this infraction is caused by you running faster than your “dial in”, if you both break-out then the win will go to the one who broke out least.

• Crossing the centerline is immediate grounds for you to lose a race, again although not a smart move it doesn’t count during qualifying.

• Deep staging is a process of staging where after turning on both the “pre-stage bulb” and the “staged” bulb you roll forward; this causes the top set of pre-stage bulbs in your lane to turn back off.  Although deep staging in racing is allowed, if you do not have a large D clearly visible on both the windshield and drivers side window you will be disqualified.
