| 2006 Jesel Valvetrain Innovation ULTRA QUICK 8 RULES FOR NMCA TYPE CARS | ||||||||||||||||||
|
Run on Select Sundays. See complete rules listed below. POINTS SYSTEM & PAYOUT Minimum Payout for 8-Car Field (Payout To Be Announced)
If there is a tie for a position, the tiebreaker is as follows: A. Number of elimination wins. B. The rating point system: Each driver will be rated according to his/her position in the standings. The rating system will begin after competition on the fifth point's day (June 25). The rating will be as follows: If a racer is in first place, one rating point will be awarded; second place will receive two rating points, third place will receive three rating points, etc. If two or more racers are tied with the same amount of points for any position, they will each receive the same amount of rating points i.e. tied for fifth each racer gets five rating points. After the sixth point's day, the rating numbers will be increased based upon what place the racer is in. This will continue through the end of the Jesel Valvetrain Innovation Ultra Quick 8 Points Series. On the last points day, if a racer is in seventh place and earns enough points on that day to move him/her into a tie for third place, the racer with the lower rating points will finish the year in third place and the higher rating points racer will be fourth. The only way a runoff will be necessary is if the earned points, number of wins, and rating points are the same. If after the tiebreaker, a result for a position has not been determined, a one-run run-off will occur. NOTE: Top 8 points earners after September 3, 2006 will receive an embroidered Jacket courtesy of Raceway Park.

You must attempt to qualify with a racecar capable of running 8.99 or quicker. #1 qualifier must run first round to receive award. If you cannot run first round, tell a track official. Quickest 8 cars qualify. Eligibility to be determined by the Raceway Park Management. Cars and/or drivers found NOT to be in compliance with these rules are subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from the Quick 8. Once all cars leave the bleach box area they may only cross the starting line one time for their burnout prior to their run. Example: Once you back up over the starting line after your burnout, the remainder of the race shall be forward motion only. If you cross the starting line again after this burnout, you will be disqualified. Racecars must back up after their burnout under their own power -- no pushing the racecar. Oil Down Rule: If any racer leaks oil or any other fluid on the racetrack that requires a large clean up with the clean up machine, jet, track crew, etc., you will receive one warning for the season. Any incidents that require clean up after that one warning will cost you one point. This action is necessary for the safety and quality of the Ultra Quick 8 show. We hope this policy will encourage racers to triple check their racecars to prevent leakage on the racetrack. Any racer in Quick 8 that refuses any post race tech procedure will be expelled from the Quick 8 for a period of two years from date of infraction and subject to penalties from the NHRA. If a competitor is disqualified for any infraction (ie. Crossing center line, failing tech, etc.) his or her competition may be reinstated on an per incident basis by management. Jesel Valvetrain Innovation Ultra Quick 8 windshield banners must be displayed in the center of the windshield and area mandatory in order to pass tech inspection. The first banner is no charge. Additional banners will cost $10 and are available from the tech inspectors. RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT TO KEEP PAIRTY IN THE CLASS Note no car will be allowed to go faster than the Chassis is Certified for by NHRA. All NHRA safety rules will apply for your combination including Driving Suit. This is for your SAFETY and the car next to you.
