IHRA Top Sportsman safety rules will be used as a guideline. There will be a
onetime complete Technical inspection of your race vehicle at the first race
entered. If there are any infractions, you will have until the next race to
take corrective action. The Pro Outlaw Doorslammers Race Director will make
random inspections for safety equipment at each race. “Examples”: Engine
Diaper, Full Face Helmet, Neck Collar or Hans Device, Gloves, Jacket, pants,
and Shoes are required to whatever SFI specification applies to your
car/engine combination. If safety rules are not met, you will not race until
you take corrective action.
-
Valid IHRA/NHRA Competition license required. Medical physical mandatory.
-
The Pro Outlaw Doorslammers decal must be displayed on the participating
entry. Decals are supplied with membership. If you do not have one, contact
the race director.
-
Only full body cars or trucks with working doors are allowed.
-
Each car must have a ground clearance of 3” from front of car to 12” behind
centerline of front axle.
-
No weight limit.
-
Any Transmission type is allowed. Automatic transmission must have neutral
safety start switch and reverse lockout. Standard transmissions must have
neutral gear. All entries with pressurized transmissions must have interior
sheet metal tunnel isolating driver’s compartment from unit.
-
Any cubic inch engine allowed. Roots Supercharger (Screw Superchargers
Prohibited), Prochargers, Turbos and Electronic Fuel Injection allowed. No
limit on nitrous stages.
-
You must be in staging lanes on time. If an issue arises which affects your
ability to reach the staging lanes, find the Race Director and explain your
situation. Some exceptions are necessary to maintain the quality of the show.
(Example: Someone has your pit or car blocked).
-
Each driver “Must” deploy their parachute on a complete run.
-
Shakedown runs are allowed before qualifying begins. Once qualifying starts,
no further shakedown passes are allowed.
-
One qualifying run is mandatory. In the event that the field is not
complete/full, the mandatory qualifying rule will be waived and the entry will
be added to the bottom of the ladder. Any further qualifying runs are at the
discretion of the team.
-
Qualifying runs will be made side-by-side alternating lanes for each
subsequent run. (Numbers will be drawn to determine the first 4 qualifiers).
-
Pre-stage rule enforced. Both lanes must be pre-staged before either driver
can fully stage. If a driver turns on both bulbs (Pre-stage and Stage) before
the other driver has pre-staged, the non-staged driver should not stage.
Courtesy staging will be enforced.
-
In the event of a red light in qualifying, the elapsed time for the run will
count toward qualification.
-
If you break during qualifying and back off the line, you will have until the
last car goes down the track for a chance to qualify in that session.
-
If you cannot crank in the staging lanes during eliminations, you will have 2
minutes to get the car started and come to the line.
-
Eliminations will consist of a 16-car field. If a qualified car breaks before
the first round of eliminations an alternate will be placed in the broken
car’s slot.
Alternates inserted into the field after a qualified member has broken will
receive show-up points and points for each round won. Alternates will NOT
receive qualifying points or qualifying purse, these will remain with the
original qualifier. The Alternate will receive subsequent round money and points.
-
Eliminations will be run on a Pro ladder. If there is not a 16-car field, then
all cars will run and the ladder will be adjusted to accommodate the number of
cars. If you have a bye run in eliminations, you MUST break the beam in order to move on to the next round.
-
Low qualifier of each pairing gets lane choice. If you have lane choice, you
can change that choice only before pulling into the burnout box. Once in the
burnout box, you are obligated to that lane. The only exception is if a car
breaks in front of you causing a stop in the race program for cleanup, you can
then change lanes if so desired.
-
An event is considered “in the books” once the first round of eliminations is
complete. If the race ends for any reason after the first round is finished,
the race is considered complete. The purse will be split between the remaining
competitors.
-
If a race is rained out before the completion of the first round, it is
considered a “Rain-out” and qualifying starts over IF the race is rescheduled
on the rain-out date.
-
Decisions made at the track by the Race Director are final.
