30-MILE CRUISE
There will be a 30 mile supervised cruise on highway and city streets prior to competition, limited to those vehicles that have passed tech inspection. A escort will supervise the cruise in accordance with local laws and ordinances. Each competitor and crew will be on their own *reconnaissance during the escort and cruise and bear the full responsibility of their actions as they would on city streets. Please be safe and follow all traffic laws *during the cruise.
SUPPORT VEHICLES
Support vehicles (i.e., tow vehicles, crew, etc.) are permitted optionally on the road tour, but must trail behind the True Street participants, and the escort, at all times. All support vehicles are on their own *reconnaissance and must obey all applicable local safety and traffic laws.
COOLDOWN PERIOD/RETURN PROCEDURES
After the vehicles return from the road tour, they will return directly to the designated staging lanes for the cool-down period. They may not change tires. The *
cool-down period will typically last between 15 and 45 minutes. During this cool down period only, entrants may adjust tire pressure (add or remove tire pressure), install fresh nitrous bottles, install ice in their intercooler, (only if located in trunk, rear hatch or rear seat area). A strict CLOSED HOOD policy will be in effect until a competitor has completed his or her three back to back passes. No re-fueling allowed once car leaves on cruise. Engines must remain turned off during entire cool-down period. External cooling of engine by any means (cold water, *outdoor fans, etc.) prohibited. Any engine changes, repairs, or adjustments (changing rocker arms, *carburetor adjustments, etc.) prohibited. Changing of tires prohibited.
RACE FORMAT
When called to “load up” in the staging lanes, all True Street competitors must report to their cars and prepare to make three back-to-back quarter mile passes. All hoods and deck lids must remain secured, as they must remain closed until completion of all three passes. Vehicles with air-to-water intercoolers may not add ice to intercooler tank between back-to-back passes, even if intercooler tank is located in interior of vehicle.
FINAL STANDINGS
After all three quarter mile passes are completed, each racer’s ET’s will be added together and divided by 3.
The average of these three passes will be computed. The *outcome of the 3-run average will be posted Sunday morning, and the awards presentation will be held Sunday. On a qualifying run, if a contestant properly starts, stages, and receives the starter’s signal but breaks to the point the run is not completed, a time of
28 seconds is issued and it is considered a valid *qualifying run.
CREW MEMBERS
Crew members are not permitted around participating vehicles, in the staging lanes, or in the burnout area, between rounds of competition.
BACK-to BACK PASSES
Tire pressure may be checked in the staging lanes, or between rounds, and may be lowered. Air may not be added to tires any time during the back-to-back *passes. Vehicles are required to make three full *
passes in order to be included in the final average ET tally. All vehicles must run three passes in the same order as the first pass, any attempt to gain additional cool down time between rounds will result in *disqualification. The only possible exception to this rule is the use of a parachute, if required by vehicle speed. One crewmember can be placed in the staging lanes to aid in the re-packing of a parachute; however, chute must be re-packed in a manner so as not to be *disruptive to competition rounds. There will be a *separate staging lane designated for any vehicle *needing to re-pack parachutes. Any vehicle unable to start under its own power will be disqualified. Once all rounds have been completed, prize money and awards will be given based on the final average of all three *quarter mile passes. During, and in between, the back to back passes, no changes may be made to vehicle other than lowering air pressure in tires. Fresh nitrous bottles, fuel, and ice may not be installed/replenished. Vehicles with air-to-water intercoolers may not add ice to *intercooler tank between back-to-back passes, even if intercooler tank is located in interior of vehicle. No *laptops in vehicle permitted at any time once the first of the three back-to-back passes is initiated. i got the closest to 15 so i won
$100 which was the entry fee
