If the need arises, we will have a special session Saturday morning for the Race of Champions participants, and then fill in between ROC rounds with the remainder of competitors. Gambler Race and Dash for Cash · All classes will be called to the lanes in sessions. Each team will be assigned specific lanes and sessions throughout the event. From those assignments, a random draw will be made to pair the lanes for each elimination round. · The driver in each class with the best reaction time during the first time run on Saturday will earn the potential bye for first round on Sunday. During subsequent rounds, the best winning reaction time will have earned the potential bye for the following round. For the Race of Champions, the first round bye will be based on a random draw, with the best reaction time earning the bye in following rounds. · Lane choice will be done by a coin toss at the head of the lanes. Team Captains Each team is allowed 2 team captains. Team captains will handle any and all problems or discrepancies that one of their competitors may encounter. Only one team captain will be allowed in the tower at any one time. Any disputes must be brought to the event director by a team captain. Division Director will rule on any issues and have final say on such. Summit Series Decals Each competitor will be required to run the series decal for the duration of eliminations. Those not having the decal will not earn points for team or be eligible for any prizes or awards. ET Finals Rules and Regulations · All classes, with the exception of Bike/Sled, will be run on a five-tenth full tree with optional staging. · Deep staging will be allowed, but it may not be written on the vehicle, nor will the starter make any changes to the starting procedure for those deep staging. Those deep staging assume all risk and must get in first as Autostart will be on for ALL categories. · Bike/Sled will run on a split tree. Racers wanting a Pro Tree must put a P at the end of their dial (i.e. 9.00P). Look for a minus sign on the scoreboard. · CrossTalk will be used in Super Pro only. Racers not wanting CrossTalk need to place an “N” at the end of their dial-in (i.e. 9.00N).

Starter and/or Event Director will have final say on issuing a warning or an expulsion. If a warning is issued, any subsequent infraction will be grounds for immediate disqualification. · Any racer or crew member found to be under the influence of alcohol or other substances, during racing hours, will be immediately excused from the event and the facility. · All tech cards must be filled in completely and legibly, being sure to indicate your team name or designator at the TOP of the tech card. · Team designator must be displayed on the driver side lower portion of the windshield, top of the cowl on dragsters and on the headlight for motorcycles. · To compete at the Summit E.T.
