LIST ESTABLISHMENT – The first qualifying cars will request to be added to the list pool. Once they are on the list they will become the initial pool. 22 OCT 2021 at 7:00 pm at Little River Tech Booth we will have a list drivers meeting. A deck of cards will be used. Each driver will take a card from the numbered card only deck. Whomever draws a matching numbered card is who you will race. Red cards get left lane, black cards get right lane. Winner of each race will be placed on the list in the corresponding position to the numbered card they drew. Losers will be placed in the same order at the bottom of the list and be able to call out from where they are placed. First winners will be placed at the top of the list in order of the card they drew and the losers will be kept in the same order below the winners. This will make up the initial list. We are aware that this means that the fastest on the list may not necessarily end up in the number one spot initially and that some of the losers during list creation may be faster than some on the list above them. That’s ok and that’s what makes this fun. More races, movement up and down the list, everyone has to run at least a few times to get to the top. Don’t stress the list creation! The list will take shape quickly and the fun is in getting as high up on it as possible.
GETTING ON THE LIST – After initial establishment anyone can get on the list but must do so by calling out the next driver on the list. If you are not on the list then start by calling out the last car and race your way up. All races will be heads up, 1 pass, no excuses. If you lose you must wait until the next list race is called before you can call out that same person. If you are not on the list already, race the last car and lose, you must wait until the next list race before you can try again. If you are on the list and lose a callout you must also wait until the next list race before you can try again. If you are already on the list and win, you can continue to call out and move up the list at that same event, but only as much as those called out allow (keep in mind they have until the next list race to make good on the race so they don’t have to run you right then and there. ALL callouts will be done PUBLICLY in person at Little River Dragway List Racing drivers meeting. Callouts for those not already on the list will also be done in the drivers meeting. In the event we have multiple new list racers wanting to get on the list the same event, they will first race each other to determine who is faster. Winner races the last car and the loser will be put on the list in last place. Racing takes place at Test and Tune Street Car Little River Events on Fridays. Once called out you have to defend your spot or give it up. If your car broke at the event you will be given until the next event to defend your spot. If you cannot defend your spot you will be passed by people below you that call your spot out (not a big deal, when you are ready, make your way back up the list). No courtesy list passing is allowed (i.e. I know you are faster than me, so I give up my spot). Race for the spot. It’s that simple. Those that are on the list already will flip for lane choice, those trying to make the list, lane choice will go to the car already on the list. Priority for races will always go to listers first, then to those trying to make the list. Lister callouts will be prioritized by who was called out first. Monitors must witness the race for it to count. In the rare case this is not possible we will either assign someone to moderate the race or go to the tower for clarification.
CONDUCT – Respect each other and the cars at all times. We completely understand that some smack talking is normal and that folks are passionate about racing but if you take it to a level that makes this unenjoyable for others, then action will be taken by either the track or the list moderators or both. In general your car and your driving can do most the talking. Let’s keep it enjoyable!
COMPLAINTS AND RULES – We fully understand that this list may not be for everyone. That’s no problem. We have done and will do our best to make this fun and fair but the rules are rules, both for the track and for the list. Legitimate complaints and suggestions will be taken seriously but if the final verdict is “no” or “that’s not changing” it’s that simple. Have a little patience. Disrespect to moderators or other listers simply won’t be tolerated.
DRIVETRAIN AND TRANSMISSION – FWD, AWD, or RWD allowed. Any factory style engine and transmission assembly (i.e. 2-10 speed automatics and 4-8 speed standard transmission. No lenco, liberty, jerico clutch-less transmissions, no jet, turbine, turbo shaft style engines).
TIME SLIPS – No Time/Time Slips Cut in Half, so all vehicles ET and MPH are private to driver (and to track staff)
EXHAUST – Exhaust must exit behind driver’s seat location (as required for state inspection), catalytic converters not required
STREET LEGAL – all lights operational (hi and low head, tail, turn, stop, and license). Valid License plate (Dealer/Temp plates prohibited). All current, antique tags ok if vehicle qualifies. Valid Insurance Card. Bypassed or removed emissions systems is ok.
TIRES – Street tires or slicks are allowed.
POWER ADDERS – Power Adder (nitrous, turbos, supercharger) or naturally aspirated are allowed and encouraged.
INTERIOR – Doors must open and close from inside and outside the vehicle. Any other interior modifications are allowed that pass tech.
SUSPENSION – Any modifications are allowed that pass tech.
ENGINE – Engine swaps ok, engines in stock location. These rules may be modified at any time for safety and fairness.
GENERAL CONDUCT AND SAFETY
CONDUCT IN THE PITS – Speed limit in the pits is 10 MPH. No “AC” run while in lanes or racing, also no icing intake if condensation leaks onto track, vehicle will be removed from competition No vehicle testing of any type is allowed. NO BURN-OUTS in the pits are allowed.
VALID DRIVERS LICENSES – A minimum age of 16 is required to compete in list races.
RACE VEHICLE BREAKAGE – In order to keep fluids off the racing surface, racers experiencing problems with their vehicle during any pass are requested to pull over to the edge of the racetrack and stop.
PASSENGERS – Passengers are not allowed in competition vehicles in any paired pass. Every passenger pass is done at the Track Starters discretion. Pre-race contact with Track Starter Mandatory.
NON STARTING VEHICLES – In the event a racer at the head of the staging lanes fails to start their vehicle when called, the racer will be moved back 1 pair of cars in line along with their competitor. If the racer cannot make it to the line after that pair finishes, a competition single run for his competitor will be called by the Track Starter.
COURTESY STAGING – Both racers are required to pre-stage FIRST before either competitor stages. If a racer fully stages before their opponent pre-stages, the Track Starter will back that competitor out of the lights completely and start the staging process again. If the same competitor fully stages again before their opponent pre-stages a disqualification will be called by the Track Starter.
FIRST OR WORST DISQUALIFICATION – In case of dual infractions of the common laws of drag racing during an elimination pass, what’s known as the “First or Worst” rule applies. In case of the same infraction such as a dual red light, the first will be called and the competitor that jumped second will remain in competition. Now if the right lane gets a red light but the left lane racer crossed over the center line which was a worse infraction the racer that had gotten the red light would have been declared the winner.
Here is a list of “Worst” in order.
#1 Crossing the center line in front of or alongside of your opponent
#2 Red light
#3 Being found illegal
#4 Touching any boundary marker (center or outside)
#5 Dropping any foreign matter in front of your opponent
#6 Any condition judged to be unsafe or unfair by event director
RACER CONDUCT – DRIVERS CAUGHT DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR USING ILLEGAL DRUGS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED, Fighting, Unsportsmanlike conduct, Threatening a Track Official or any other aggressive behavior targeted at any Track Official, racer or spectator WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Expulsion from the facility and other disciplinary action at the discretion of the Track Management may result. Each driver is responsible for the actions of their crew members.
