NOTE:
Last year the Drag Racing rule's were totally changed and light's were featured as a starting system for the 1st time in TF history.This year with the help of John Swinehart the light's have had a makeover as you can see in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W5PnecZEjs ,and we will be accepting donation's during TF for the Drag's for the next year's start line and the lighting system so we can eventually have a fully functional X-Mas tree..
Due to the possibility of having a overwhelming attendance of ATC 70's and like Conversion's and Hybrid's it is possible that 1 or possibly multiple classes may be structured to accomidate these type of machine's,these machine's would more specifically be the ATC 70 and or like Custom -Hybrid's- and or Conversion's not exceeding 110 cc.
Judges and Tec's have final say in placement in any and all classes..
As you probably already have noticed,TF 09 rule's are an almost mirror image of what TF 08 rule's were.The way I look at it ,it worked last year so why change a good thing.There have been post in Drag related thread's asking about any change's you wanted to see in TF 09 Drag's and since I only recieved a handfull of question's and thought's from member's -some small change's have arrised but you member's have spoken as the rule's are now etched in stone.But if you have suggestion's and/or opinion's please speak out..
The track will be once again set up close too what it was last year,and maybe even taken up a notch.
In single ilimination heat race's - The winning racer must return immediatly to the starting line(staging area),so he or she can be placed in line for next heat race.
In double illimination heat race's- the winner and the loser must return to the start line(staging area),so he or she can be placed in the next heat race.
If racer decide's upon LCQ 1 time only ,return to start line (staging area) with $5.00 and you will be placed in 1 more heat race. ( mod and open only)
When your number has been called ,the racer will have a set time to make it to the start line for heat race or be DQ'ed from that round.(Time will be discussed at Driver's meeting).
Suggestion's and opinion's are open for discussion in this thread or you can PM me personaly.I would like to add that this is not MY Drag Race event ,it is all of our's.I along with other's only organize this event,but we do so because of our passion for our sport .Alot of us travel great distance's just to partake in the whole TF event and our goal is too put a smile on everyone's face's and to enjoy ourselve's.This is a competition -Yes- But this is also for fun..
Voulenteer's are needed : if you can help out with anything with this event let me know in this thread please.It will be greatly appreciated.I also know that voulenteer's will also be needed in other TF event's,if you can help out even for a few minute's with this and/or any other TF event's let myself or one of the other TF committee member's know.
